Watch Giro d'Italia live stream 2023
Geraint Thomas turned 37 on Thursday. On Sunday, he could be crowned the Giro d'Italia winner for the first time in his career. It would be a hallmark moment, the culmination of years of hard graft through adversity and misfortune, but Primoz Roglic is lurking, and before the peloton gets to Rome they're going to have to navigate two of Dante's circles of Hell.
Giro d'Italia stages 19, 20 & 21 preview
Stage 19 (today) is probably the most brutal of them all, an 183km route that's so jagged it beggars belief. Featuring five categorised climbs and more than 5,000m of elevation gain, if you're not climbing, you're descending to the bottom of the next one. The summit finish on Tre Cime di Lavaredo is the highest point of the race, and so steep it's almost vertical.
Stage 20 (Saturday) is an 18.6km ITT. Sounds straightforward enough, but it isn't. Another summit finish, this time on Monte Lussari, has an average gradient of 12.3 percent, with the initial 5km of the ascent averaging more than 15 percent.
Stage 21 (Sunday) provides some much-needed relief, with the 126km circuit, which passes some of Rome's most renowned landmarks and finishes on the Via dei Fori Imperiali, as level as a slice of pizza al taglio. It's here that the leader will find themselves under attack, and clinging to the maglia rosa for dear life.
