Tomorrow, due to bad conditions forecasted at the office, I am gonna attend only 1 meeting out of 3. Also, I will present only the middle and end parts of my working sheets, on a shortened schedule, of course. |

Remco should pack his bags and go home to prepare for Tokyo. This wasn't an off-day clearly, his shape has been going downhill ever since the first week. |

I hope he stays in the race. He can learn a lot from days like these. It was major hubris to think off him as a contender after 9 months without racing but he can still get a lot of it, including race kilometers for Tokyo. Also let him slave for Almeida a bit lol

No real reason to go home, but damn. Quickstep really screwed this race up, huh?

I did probably see the funniest transition in commentary style before and after Evenepoele dropped off contention. the dutch/belgian commentators went from consistantly calling him Remco to Evenepoel almost the moment he dropped.

I was looking forward to this king mountain stage with three legendary climbs. And now I watched it after work... It would be better if they just canceled it. Some kind of parody...

Just write me a PM if you have something for old PCM Editions (from 2005 to 2014) - databases, stages, shirts etc. and we'll share it.

I saw some very nice photos from yesterday's stage. Such a shame that we couldn't get live picture and that such an appetizing stage was shortened. |

Also, Tim Merlier won yesterday Ronde van Limburg although he was complaining of fatigue at Giro. I am of the opinion that the riders who withdraw from a Grand Tour without a sensible reason should not be allowed to ride other races during that particular GT. What Merlier did seems disrespectful to me. |

I think there's a rule where he have to ask the race organisation permission to participate in another race, although I've never known it to be an issue. Anyway, I think he had a full week of rest, so I don't see a problem with it. Sprinters drop out of GT's all the time.
Changed my sig, this was getting absurd.

I am perfectly aware of that, but I still find it disrespectful. I don't like it. Of course, that is strictly my personal point of view. |

Precisely what I was thinking when i read he raced there. Could be hard to implement the rule though as there would surely be riders faking an injury. |

That was an awesome Giro. One of my fondest memories in cycling. |

Now that the race is out of reach, the other teams suddenly want to chase breaks.

Lotto down to two riders as well, with Oldani a sprinter and Vanhoucke with poor recovery, it's not entirely unlikely they won't finish the Giro.
