Red Bull-Bora-Hansgrohe had ambitions for overall victory at this year's Giro d'Italia, but as the decisive mountainous stage 14 to Pila looms large on the horizon, team co-leaders Giulio Pellizzari and Jai Hindley are still struggling with illness, unsure if they have the health to stay in the fight for a GC result.
Saturday's stage to Pila in the Val d'Aosta is 'only' 133km long but is considered a five-star stage, with five major climbs and over 4,000 metres of elevation filling the route, and a 16.5km, 7.1% climb to finish.
