Impressive so far from Adam. Can we please double check Barguil's passport. There's no way he's still a young rider. 
And Davies gets our first GC win of any sort since Lavery destroyed everyone in the Course de la Paix  .
Great performance by Chapman in that final stage too. We may actually have a good climbing squad in 2020.

Now that's a great moral lift! 
I really thought Colombia had that one but Nibali and Froome pulled well together and we just edge the close finish. Great! Spanish champ finishes very well to limit the loses in this top battle.
Thanks Bikex.

Also something else: From stage 9 on I can add for the teams that have a leader jersey:
In that case please could you add what is in this spoiler:

Great video of the big beasts in the Giro, and I caught of glimpse of Bardet attacking to get 10th in GC so happy with that.
Surprised with Chevrier's 4th in young rider, would be very pleased if he keeps that up.

Stages 7 & 8 added: https://pcmdaily.com/forum/viewthread....st_1137173
Sorry wanted to post them yesterday still but had no time.
@The Rider: I'll add that stuff, except for the jersey. A leader jersey still has to include the leader jersey sponsor and on the jersey usually only has the transferts from the main team. 
I can take that jersey's pants though and add them so you still have a modified jersey. |

Stage 8 was a nice step towards the lead in the points classification but the climbers are already too close behind to let Ciolek a good shot at the jersey at the end of the Giro.
A Big Thank You To All MG Reporters! |

Cataldo keeps losing H2H to Rosa, while our best result in Stage 8 is worse than 50th.
Fuck me I traded Rosa+Colombo+money to have Cataldo and in every single goddamn h2h in WT Rosa is beating him? That's not what I wanted to happen...

Well, Adam and Simon are doing very well so far. Almost too well. They need to lose time to go for some stage wins damn it. Maybe Pete will be the one now with his strong recovery anyway.
Rohan Dennis sucks some serious dingo balls. I have wasted three years of budget on him hoping and waiting for the 'big breakthrough', It's not going to come.

^ That is fine with me, Bikex!
Crucially Froome wasn't gapped there, but the jersey changes hands with just '1 in it. At this rate it will be closer than Le Tour last season. With most flat stages out of the way it does look like one of the 'titans' will finish with the points jersey unless there are plenty of breaks getting away to the end. |

The Cat just isn't it at PT level sorry to say, he is exposed I think in a GT he is pretty solid against the clock but cleary very ropey on climbs. Feel bad about that. That said I think Cataldo should get you something somewhere this year.
A sprint actually going to the stats good god! Coquard F off, you French git!

This doesn't justify him losing against someone like Rosa who is worse under every point of view
That said yes, he's a really solid rider in the CT level but considering that won't get us another year in WT that's not good at all.

And Hirt keeps going into breaks, wchis is nice as well.

You forget one thing that Rosa has in his advantage - he has a crazy DS leaning out of his window giving him plenty of sticky bottles off camara every day

Oo-ee: this is a real ding-dong isn't it. Three wins for Froome and we are not even 10 stages down: yikes!
The breaks really haven't had a look in yet, wouldn't mind letting some go to the finish if that makes keeping the lead that little bit easier. Two extra riders always within the top 30 is good-looking. |
