Mezgec coming from quite a lot behind, faster than everyone but the first two for sure.

Awesome work from OPQS, they improved hugely in leading out Cavendish
Changed my sig, this was getting absurd.

Impressive sprint from Modolo. Really underrated rider.
Cav unbeatable as expected.

Yes, but without Greipel and Kittel, thus no Lotto and Argos-train, they had a pretty easy job.

This.
I mean Wurf>Longho Borghini>Sabatini>Viviani, or whatever the Cannondale train looked like, is no comparison at all.

Ferrari...
He had really good position with 2 to go. Then two turns and 20 places back...
I start to think that all the criticism that came over him the last year has influenced him. It seems like he doesn't want to take any risks now.

Martin, Chavanel, Terpstra, Steegmans, Vanderbergh, Grabsch, Velits.
I can tell you this. OPQS will have a better train too

Modolo as usual amazing top speed but only for 50m before fading badly

That's not want I wanted to say, and you're obviously right.
But drawing conclusions about their strenght simply from this Giro is wrong.

Of course. I doubt Kittel will challenge Cav, but Greipel will at least get a stage win from the Tour.

So, did Trofimov spend 4 years preparing for this Giro? His last notable result was in Paris-Nice, in 2009. |

Katusha randomly said Trofimov targets Top 10, and he wasn't far off it! As surprised as you, was quite consistent throughout.
Considering the squad they sent, Katusha's gotta be one of big winners here. 2 stages, few days in Pink, and a rider in Top 15. Pretty good going.

Trofimov was really consistent
