21 October 2020Second in San Daniele del Friuli (beaten for 7 "by Tratnik), first twenty-four hours later in Madonna di Campiglio: a close double for Ben O'Connor, who still has a leg despite the fatigue of Tuesday and wins the seventeenth stage of the Giro d'Italia (taken from Bassano, 203 kilometers), a high mountain hamlet (4 gpm and uphill finish) which, however, produces a mouse, as the ranking remains crystallized with the Portuguese Almeida (who reached the finish line with over 5 'late) always in the pink jersey.
Behind the Australian, who flies off at -6, second place for the Austrian Pernsteiner, 31 "behind, third De Gendt (at 1'13") ahead of Zakarin.
Good seventh place for Davide Villella.
No jolt, as mentioned, among the big names of the race, still 'below deck' Nibali (18th): time is running out and the reckoning is approaching, starting from the very hard eighteenth fraction of tomorrow that will bring the caravan to the Coppi peak and to the Stelvio pass.
