So, what happens if the mountains stay snowbound? I heard someone say that there was only a 60% chance of those stages taking place.

Rope and spiked tyres....it's the sport of hardmen !

Highlight for me so far is commentators debating why the intermediate sprint for 3rd was contested.

I thought maybe they were bored (commentators and riders) and wanted something to do.

If anybody is still watching by then...

Otherwise might as well have a stage indoors.

I'm struggling to remember a report of a Giro stage from way back when (between the wars I think) that I read about. It involved riders seeking out shepherds huts to be revived before struggling on, suffering from exposure and just generally suffering. I'll see if I can find it.

It was on @rich p ’s 40th birthday - he should be able to help with a date.

Just when I was thinking Demare never wins anything....

That looked a nasty pile up for someone, they looked unable to stand. Ackerman crossing the line looking pretty beat up. Lord, I grimace when I see cyclists hit the deck, and at those speeds.

I like Peppa pig after a drink or two...two more rest days for the GC,today and tommorow then we finally might get some action.

My last mention of Peppa, but just to say that Daddy Pig won back his Muddy Puddle World record today...
..may fail the drug's test possibly.

I can't believe you said that.

SpongeBob.

SpongeBob every time. No contest.

Another totally flat sprinters stage ..what a yawn fest this race as been so far. There’s no point in 200 k + stages with a 200m sprint at the end- just have 50k and the result would be the same! Bring on the mountains tomorrow.
