He does strike me as a bit simple, though
Or he felt that sheet of paper was a waste of time

Hehe, I suppose it's best to keep it simple in general in order to keep your focus clear for training and such.

Biggest obstacle: Beating the other riders.
Simple, but you can't say it isn't true

Apparently Richie Porte has abandoned the race.

Now I don't want to sound too harsh on him and I don't know why exactly he's so awful lately, but Porte really needs to toughen up against bad racing/weather conditions because otherwise he won't survive Giro.

Sky are apparently evolving new marginal gain system of pulling out of races, beware the GTs, i sense full retard mode.

55 seconds to what, Belkov group or the peloton? Anyway, holy cow! Tommy's on fire in Catalunya's rain.
EDIT: Nevermind, Belkov Group caught.
Sky and Tinkoff keep their leaders upfront, smart choice today at this rain.

Tommy's losing time fast now. Hopefully the downhill rescues him.

Those roundabouts looked insane, especially under these conditions.

It was so dominant one..I wont need any wind cover or lead out. I can do it all myself.
Fun thing is that operators almost missed a man again.

There was also a crash midway through the stage today, looked like it was caused by the wet roads:

Was that Howard dying trying to follow his leadout in vain? Really dominant that from Mezgec.
