Giro 2020 Favourites stage 9: Attrition race with 4,000 vertical metres

To begin with the first claim: the final kilometres are extremely steep, in fact so steep that it would be strange when no GC contender cracks. And regarding that second claim: the last kilometres may be steep, the rest of the finale is doable. So large time gaps are not to be expected in the GC battle. The hardest of the day – Passo Lanciano – is situated in the first half of the race
