Jai Hindley poised for Giro d'Italia glory after overtaking Carapaz on ... (The Guardian)

Australia's Jai Hindley has taken the pink jersey from Richard Carapaz and will begin the closing time trail with a lead of more than a minute.

“I knew if you had the legs you can make a difference. “I knew this would be the crucial stage of the race, with the brutal finish,” Hindley said. With Covi, of UAE Team Emirates, well clear in front, Carapaz was looking comfortable going into the gruelling final Passo Fedaia climb, as the Ineos Grenadiers domestique Pavel Sivakov led the peloton with four kilometres to go.

Worth the wait, Jai Hindley takes control of the Giro d'Italia in the ... (CyclingTips)

Jai Hindley (Bora-Hansgrohe) took over the maglia rosa on the penultimate day of the 2022 Giro d'Italia, as Alessandro Covi (UAE Team Emirates) took stage ...

By the finish line, he’d put almost 90 seconds into the race leader, putting Hindley into the maglia rosa with a 1:25 buffer for the final stage time trial on Sunday. The peloton left the breakaway to enjoy the first-category Passo San Pellegrino and hors-catégorie Passo Pordoi. The latter is the highest point of the Giro d’Italia, thus earning Cima Coppi status which carries its own prestige and a prize pot, claimed today by Alessandro Covi (UAE Team Emirates) who attacked his breakaway companions with about 53.5 km to go. It took a little while for the breakaway to form, and the peloton briefly found itself in pieces after a tricky first 30 km, but once happy with the 15-long list of escapees, the GC teams applied the brakes and settled things down, allowing dropped riders and key domestiques back into the fold.

Giro d'Italia: Who lost time as Jai Hindley seizes control with stage ... (VeloNews)

Richard Carapaz crumbled out of pink in dramatic day in the Dolomites, but what else happened in the top-10? Here's an analysis.

Jan Hirt and Domenico Pozzovivo are cemented into sixth and eighth place respectively, leaving the Czech on course for by far his best grand tour finish and within range of fifth. - Domenico Pozzovivo (Intermarché-Wanty-Gobert): +16.04 - Jan Hirt (Intermarché-Wanty-Gobert): +9.07 - Pello Bilbao (Bahrain-Victorious): +8:55 - Mikel Landa (Bahrain-Victorious): +1:51 But with a 1:25 advantage over Carapaz to defend through a 17.4km test Sunday, Bora-Hansgrohe might already be clearing space in its trophy cabinet for the Trofeo Senza Fine.

Hindley turns Giro d'Italia time trial from showdown to certain ... (Cyclingnews.com)

Bora-Hansgrohe rider starts 17.4km Verona TT with 1:25 lead on Carapaz.

He is expected to finish and surely be crowned the winner of the 2022 Giro d’Italia twenty or so minutes later. Affini has also gone deep in recent days to help Koen Bouwman win the blue king of the mountains jersey. The now legendary 42km showdown between Laurent Figon and Francesco Moser was in 1984, with the Italian cancelling a 1:21 deficit to win by 1:03. Claims of help from the television helicopters have never been proven or strenuously denied. Sunday’s final stage of the 2022 Giro d’Italia, a time trial around Verona, looked set to be a battle for every second between Richard Carapaz (Ineos Grenadiers) and Jai Hindley (Bora-Hansgrohe) after 20 stages of close, tense and controlled racing. The Verona time trial course is very different to the Milan city centre time trials. Depending on Carapaz’s state of mind and the strength left in his legs, he may try to spook Hindley by starting fast.

Jai Hindley snatches Giro d'Italia overall lead (FRANCE 24)

Jai Hindley snatched the Giro d'Italia lead from Richard Carapaz on Saturday's penultimate stage, won by Alessandro Covi, to all but ensure a stunning ...

I knew there was a brutal finish and that you could make a difference," said Hindley "Unfortunately Joao caught Covid and we were left bare for the final three stages, so we wanted to take home at least one of them for the team." Hindley is especially happy with the time gap over him and Carapaz as he struggles on time trials and lost the 2020 edition of the Giro on the final time trial stage.

With the Giro coming to an end for the 105th time, we're taking a step back from the race to binge-watch these classic pre-Lycra era films from yesteryear, ...

He goes in search of the thief, and through despair this eventually leads him to stealing another bike. This film is more than worth sitting down with a bottle of Chianti to, both for cyclists and non-cyclists alike, as it truly is an imposing piece of art. and so obviously he sells his soul to the Devil to attain success ( sounds familiar!) All of this was done in a very artistic way, which is perhaps what makes this film really stand out. As for the Giro, there were absolutely zero insights or coverage of this great race on small screens in the UK. They offer an amazing glimpse into the sport of cycling as it once was.
