Giro d'Italia: What the stars said after Simon Yates piled the pressure at Alpe di Mera

Simon Yates put in another aggressive performance to win stage 19 and claw back 28 seconds, plus some bonus seconds, on Egan Bernal in the pink jersey. The BikeExchange rider attacked on the final climb of Alpe di Mera with 6.5km to go, holding a slim advantage over his chasers until the line. While Bernal looked a shade of his dominant self from earlier in the race, the Colombian kept Yates within touching distance to minimise his losses. It remains to be seen if Bernal is a fading force or if he is riding conservatively ahead of the time trial Sunday. There were ultimately no changes in the overall classification, but it sets up a fascinating final mountain stage to Valle Spluga on Saturday.

“I’m really happy,” Yates said. “The team did a fantastic job today, they really controlled the start and worked a lot and I managed to finish it off so I’m really happy. “I saw the boys from Ineos were happy just to ride a tempo and I had a feeling they would let me go today. I read something from Egan on Twitter or whatever about how they would be conservative and try to control rather than go with me and as soon as I attacked I saw that was correct.” It was on stage 19 of the 2018 Giro that Yates, having spent 13 days in pink, cracked at the moment that Chris Froome sprang forward to victory, but three years later the 28-year-old is the rider coming into form just as Bernal is put on the defensive.

There is rarely a straightforward day on the Giro d’Italia, with potential pitfalls painted into just about every panel of the route. The 2021 edition continues in that tradition.
