List is rather short. Giro could have used 2 more big names, eg Zakarin, Majka, Izagirre or Valv. 
Also dont forget Hirt.
It's Giro ..no worries. Jim against Kirk..still fun when it is Giro. Giro has stunned before even with lot slimmer startlist. |

Glad Viviani won. Bennett all over the place.

Modolo 2nd. Hm obligatory stage win seems likely with this form on a day when Viviani is not at his best.

Funny how the Giro actively seeks out the absolute most boring routes and roads when they start in another country. Same stuff in NL 2016 and Ireland 2014 - two completely flat and irrelevant stages on the weekend and the TT/TTT on the friday.
Great way to get new fans RCS.........
And please just DQ Bennett, or even throw him out of the race for that sprint. Had Viviani crashed Im sure he would have been sent home. |

Might look boring, last stage, but to Dumoulin it was as hard as a mountain stage in feeling. Last 30km above 70km/h...
so define real racing |

Here we go. Riis already demanding hilly stages. He still hates sprinters and theyr stage wins. Nothing has not changed here..
It was hard stage..peloton was many time close to split.
Viviani was super cool. He was pushed to barriers still waited he's moment, and after that it did seems to be easy. |

Viviani is clearly the strongest. If he manages to be in good position he'll win every sprint stage, he is the top sprinter this season so far and I think many will agree with me.
Plus he's got 8 wins already in 2018 and his closest top competitor (at WT level) is Gronewegen with 5

No. Viviani have beaten Groenewegen more than the other way around - both in general and in 2018. if looking at stages/races where both take part and at least one of them is in top 10:
