Giro 2023 Route.With Spoilers !

I'd like Thomas to win this Giro...I'll be gutted for him if he doesn't.Last chance and all that...but I think it probably favours Rogla this third week.He said before the Giro he was coming into this race hoping to reach his peak fitness by the third week.Can't say he's had to do a lot really to be in the position he is,I dont even feel we've seen a lot of his team.
Anyway fingers crossed I'm wrong and G takes it.

“Almeida, Roglic & Thomas give me the best impression. It’s a pity Hart crashed out of the race. He seemed the strongest at that point. If you ask me, Almeida is the biggest favourite to win the #Giro.”

He cheated by looking to see who I'd got in my fantasy team. Ah, Almeida - must be.

Quite looking forward to the final week, the two form riders were Remco and perhaps TGH but Rog and G have been solidly grinding out strong performances. Almeida could step in if/when one or both of G and Rog have some of the bad luck they are both prone to. I might even have to watch the TT if we get that far..!

Vertigo apparently. Been advised to avoid heights

Only Jumbo and Bahrain have full teams as far as I can see.

That should make good counter viewing / argument if the OH's criticise the altitude gains on the first day of our BH mini tour on Saturday. "I note your observations, but compared todays Giro stage, it was very fecking flat thank you. Another cider ladies?"

Thomas has said the final week is so brutal that everyone just sat in and conserved energy over that first two weeks.
Sure the weather hasn’t helped the spectacle but the route is also key.
If you make the last week savage don’t be surprised if the GC boys takes it easy in the first part of the race.

I'm surprised the breakaway hasn't told Paret Peintre to get out of the break. Only 4 minutes down on GC
