Matt White's Giro d'Italia Stage 8 Preview:

Saturday, May 18, 2019
239km Tortoreto Lido - Pesaro

At this point, though, the legs will be starting to hurt, because although we’ve not hit the real mountains, there are only a couple of days that have dropped below 200km. These are big days in the office. On this stage the wind along the coast it shouldn’t be a problem but there could be a slight headwind off the coast.
