The 102nd edition of the Giro d’Italia is well into its final week with 3 stages and a time-trial remaining. The favorites, Richard Carapaz of Movistar, Vincenzo Nibali of Bahrain-Merida, and Primož Roglič of Jumbo-Visma, are separated by 2 minutes. Can Carapaz hold on to his lead and win his first Grand Tour and Movistar’s first since 2016? Can Nibali attack long and hard enough to drop his opponents and cement his place in Giro history as a three time winner along with Bartali, Gimondi, and Hinault. Will Roglič hold on and take the lead during the last Time Trial in Verona? Hot on their heals are the runner-ups, Mikel Landa, Bauke Mollema, and Simon Yates. Can they Froome this edition and regain back 5 or more minutes on the favorites? (Not likely) We cast our predictions of what’s to come.

The 2019 Amgen Tour of California featured 10 Danish riders, as many as there were Italians. In the WorldTour the only nation without a pro-team that has more riders is Columbia. We talk to two Danish pros and discuss what is contributing to such a strong showing in the Men and Women’s WorldTour.
