I will definitely follow this Giro. I just want to see how it will works without big names in it. TVG had an amazing start with that TTT. 1 minute with this field is already nice gap.

Love to see De Gendt attacking and only just getting caught and dropped before the descent. Even before his higher rec has kicked in, 3rd place on the day is great and his GC position is above what I expected after this stage, still worried about tomorrow though.
just a thought: In the ManGame there is such a quantity of top riders that it is nigh impossible to end up with a weak GT field but this GT field is really rather sad to watch. Maybe open GT talks ahead & during transfer season can be a possibility? After all pros openly communicate which GT they'll ride too. Alternatively, planning files could be open access, at least for the GTs & Monuments?

@Shonak: Good idea, can you maybe bring it up sometime towards the season's end please.
Sorry for the few days without Giro stages I had no access to the internet with my PC. I now posted Stages 5-8.
For stage 7 I made a video, it is only a hilly stage but very spectacular, possibly the best stage of the entire Giro after attacks started with 60kms out. In the spoiler what happened until the video starts:
De Gendt is riding out of his skin! Can't believe how well he is going, only slight problem in those stages for him was Herklotz getting ahead, but winning stage 8 made that not matter at all. Can't believe he is riding like this before his rec is even really kicking in. thanks a lot bikex.
We are doing worse than I feared, Verona is just a mess, outridden by Anton and in the botd we send Mario Gonzalez, the weakest rider of em all, which is super pointless...

Sad to see Di Gregorio succeeding in no meaningful attacks, hopefully that will change soon or I will have wasted 21 race days of my best pure climber.

congrats, TVG on the right train so far!
