Favorites Fourth Stage Tirreno – Adriatico 2020

After today’s showdown, it’s almost impossible not to consider Michael Woods (EF Pro Cycling) as a favorite also for the fourth stage. The Canadian appeared in excellent form and is not afraid to attack, in addition to possessing some fast signals, as he demonstrated today when beating Rafal Majka (Bora-hansgrohe), who could seek revenge in this fraction. But also pay attention to the Danish Jakob fuglsang (Astana), which seemed less bright than Il Lombardia and the Giro dell’Emilia a few weeks ago but always dangerous when the road climbs, being able to count on the Russian Aleksandr vlasov to play as a team.

Rather on the ball appeared two runners like Geraint thomas (Grenadiers of Ineos) and Wilco Kelderman (Sunweb), although significant results are still expected this year, while Patrick Konrad (Bora-hansgrohe), as he pointed out a month ago on the Sibiu Cycling Tour, could be the German team’s alternative to his teammate Majka. The British Simon Yates (Mitchelton-Scott), meanwhile, was able to be particularly comfortable on the slopes of the stage rises and attack with one of his shots to try to recover for a few seconds.

Fausto Masnada (Deceuninck-Quickstep) looked pretty bright today and seems to be in the right condition to try repeating itself tomorrow, while Vincenzo Nibali (Trek-Segafredo) is still quite far from his optimal form, but he could try to surprise others on the descent, terrain where he is still among the best. Among Italians, today’s test of Giovanni visconti (Vini Zabù-KTM) who, although he is less of a climber than others, could hit tomorrow trying to attack from a distance.

Sam oomen (Spiderweb), James knox (Deceuninck-Quickstep) e Tanel kangert (EF Pro Cycling) will probably have to work for their captains but in the right conditions they can have a chance to surprise. Instead Sergio Henao (UAE Team Emirates), today among the first, appeared in good shape but could be considered less dangerous than others and therefore enjoy some freedom. Finally, other names that could be protagonists in tomorrow’s climbs are those of Simon Clarke (EF), Louis meintjes (Cycling NTT Pro), Rui Costa (UAE Team Emirates), Mathias frank (Ag2r La Mondiale), Dylan teuns (Bahrain-McLaren), Victor of the Part (CCC) e Daniel Navarro (Start-Up Nation of Israel).
