Giro 2017 Favourites stage 12: Back to the fast men

After the 12th stage the sprinters have only one chance left to power to victory in this year’s Giro d’Italia – namely tomorrow. Stage 13 is flat from start to finish and if that race doesn’t come down to a bunch sprint the sprintteams are ready for group councelling.

But firstly the ride from Forlì to Reggio Emilia. Not a single climb in the last 120 kilometres, so it should be back to the fast men today.

Two races in this year’s Giro boiled down to a bunch sprint. The 2nd stage was won by André Greipel ahead of Roberto Ferrari and Jasper Stuyven, while Fernando Gaviria outsprinted Jakub Mareczko and Sam Bennett in the 5th stage.
