20th Fantasy Giro D’Italia – 2022 – Stage 20/21 and final results

The turnaround – Il Ribaltone

The final two stages of the giro flipped the classification and we are here to document what happened:

Stage 20

After more than 3000 kms CARAPAZ had only 3 seconds lead on HINDLEY and slightly more than 1 minute on LANDA. NIBALI was 4th but too far to attack the podium

Land put all his team in for the Pordoi (btw, I have this on the list of mountains I have climbed….) and HINDLEY send his teammate KÄMNA in the breakway.

On the final Climb to the Marmolada, CARAPAZ had his team attack to break the Giro and all but HINDLEY were left behind.

Then HINDLEY found KÄMNA, a final effort from KÄMNA and at 2,7 kms to go CARAPAZ broke. He lost more than 1 minute and a half in 2,7 km. KÄMNA even joked on CARAPAZ passing him and slowing him down.

The stage was won by Alessandro COVI with Doman NOVEK in second and Giulio CICCONE in third

HINDLEY in Pink with a good advantage

Stage 21

HINDLEY in Pink like two years ago.

In 2019 he lost the Giro in the final GC but this year he could bring his jersey home

The stage was won by Matteo SOBRERO with Thymen ARENSMAN and Mathieu VAN DER POEL in third

VAN DER POEL can be happy for his giro. 1 stage win, a few days in pink and good placings across two week

Final classification

Jay HINDLEY has worn the pink jersey for two days in his career and was never able to ride it in the middle of the group, but just in individual time trials

He flipped the giro in the second last stage and won the 105th edition of the Giro

Richard CARAPAZ was willing to celebrate his birthday yesterday but had to settle for second

Mikel LANDA tried for another time the conquer of a great tour but was only able to be third

Vincenzo NIBALI had some trouble in keeping his fourth position but managed to get his 16th top 10 (11 top 3 and 6 victoris)

Fifth was Pello BILBAO always starting as a soigneur but in the end has always something to show
