Analysis

Simon Yates' performance on Stage 20 was a masterclass in strategic racing. Starting the day 1 minute and 21 seconds behind race leader Isaac Del Toro, Yates launched a decisive attack on the Colle delle Finestre. His move capitalized on the tactical hesitation between Del Toro and Richard Carapaz, who were closely marking each other. Yates' teammate, Wout van Aert, provided crucial support, setting a relentless pace that isolated the rivals. Yates' solo effort not only earned him a significant time advantage but also symbolized redemption, as he had previously lost the maglia rosa on the same climb in 2018. With a lead of nearly four minutes, Yates is poised to secure his first Giro d’Italia title, adding to his 2018 Vuelta a España victory.
