Rosa  that was a great 16th stage!
Nothing else of notable to see otherwise 
Bouet stopped getting KOM points and I see that by now the best gc contenders are climbing it up so probably no hopes left for me, but quite a few for The Rider, that has still got a wide margin on Luigi's Majka. Would be really nice to see him grabbing a win!

^ We both missed the early break in the last two stages. 
We still lead the KOM comp, but surely 85 points is not enough. Seeldraeyers HAS to make the break on stage 19 or 20!
Why oh why is Porte losing out to Majka at every chance?. I'd guess because sometimes Porte waits for De Gendt on the mountains on ocassion whereas Majka's team has one leader and one leader only so no chance of that there.
If you want a different GC outcome in the Tour des Fjords you could reduce the TTT length so the bonus seconds count for more. |

Great Giro for us: 0 breakaways, 0 results in the mountains/hills. Ruining the great start to the season we had. Useless.
California much better. Nice result for Stetina on the final stage but of course he misses out on 7th by 16 seconds. Is it the end of the season yet?

Thank f*ck for Cali! 6 in the Top20, 7 including our Dev team. Youth Jersey and Team comp. Not bad considering the limits on WT teams

Meh, Aru is totally useless in the Giro. You think he'd be able to beat Edmonson on a mountain stage... |

not sure if that applies to just Giro squad or just the whole team

At least my guys are presented in the breakaway, though Herrada and Verona could do much much more.

3 more Giro stages up. That means 2 left to decide things, where as we can look forward to a big showdown on the Monte Zoncolan, where a lot of things still can change.

Goosje with a stage win, Van Poppel 3rd and Wellens still top 10, looking really good 
Changed my sig, this was getting absurd.

Looks like the podium is beyond reach now. If we don't get a GT podium in ICL15 I will really consider splashing out in the steal period!
Some more breaks for Gusev, 10/10 for him. Porte and De Gendt have the best recovery in the race (apart from Froome/Nibali) yet did anyone underperform more on stage 19 than those two? All down to stage 20 if Seeldraeyers wants to win our first ICL jersey, slim chance of that now. Anything more from the race for us will be a bonus. |

I'm so happy about another stage win by Kittel. He totally dominated all the sprints! If he can avoid getting DNF on the last mountain stage then this Giro will be a full success for us!

I saw our jersey!!! 
No idea what's happened to Cav there. Unless he's injured, that's pretty unacceptable. Please, just make this end.

Another stage win for Froome and still a solid lead in the GC. That's how I like it. And now we're leading the KoM as well. Froomey is just too OP. (But I like it )

Some good stages for my team, now sitting in places 5 and 7 with Uran and Duarte. The team competition also should be pretty safe for us now.
Rabottini is showing some impressive telekinesis skills with that water bottle

Even with a head start Aru loses almost 5 minutes... the 9th place on stage 17 must have been a mix up with transponders. |

Colbrelli 5th in Stage 18 is another nice result. Meanwhile I find really disappointing and frustrating Appollonio that can't manage to grab a single top 10 (!)
He's our best sprinter (along with Sonny) but he's been our flop so far... there's still another half of the season though, who knows.
On the other hand, Rosa keeping his 26th place, I don't think he can snap into the top 20 anymore

I am happy that things went to "normal" speed, since the start of the Giro. I was already fearing that I am still on vacation when the next season starts. There may be no real reports, but I like the speed of this whole ICL thing very much(even though I was very surprised about this speed). Great job!
