Lesson learned hopefully - at least glance at the road book and/or stay awake during the morning briefing...

I honestly starting to think that is first Giro or GT you are following.
Do not exsept that riders will eat each other live at first week and first mountain.
Dumoulin will crush everyone in TT. If youre Quintana you might rue you didnt attack to gain those 30 secs you missed to win the race. Why put all the eggs in the week 3 basket? |

I don't think Dumoulin will put as much time into all of his rivals as you think he will, he's looking leaner than I've ever seen him and that has to cost him some power

Just watched it back he just starts his sprint for all of a second before a teammate shouts him to save it

Well that was easy. Gaviria really coming into his own now after the stupid stomach bug that hampered him the fist couple of days.
What a monster this guy will be! Wuhu. |

Being first over the line is all that matters
Gaviria looking good for another 2/3 stages.

So... This Gaviria guy is pretty decent, right? I'm like: who is that? |

Yes really good sprint by him today. Hopefully he can snatch some more.

I rewatched the final few Kms of the yesterday's stage. The commentary was gold
''Pibernik has a good gap and he keeps on pushing.'' ''Maybe he's forgotten that there's one more lap to go after this?'' ''Nah, he rides in the same team as Nibali. They'll know this stage so well, that can't go wrong.''
A bit later
''You really sure Pibernik doesn't think the finish is here?'' ''As said, he rides with Nibali. I am sure it can't go wrong. On top of that, he'll surely hear the bell for the last lap.''
For today's stage, quite a windy day. Echelons pls In any case a very unpredictable stage. My best guess is Dylan Teuns or Battaglin

He's been injured until April. I'd say it's more likely that he has no rhythm and shape as a consequence of that. He might of course be ill, but I think that would be known.
