I’ve got a spoiler, the sprinters are spoiling the Giro. It used to be about the mountains going through snow. Nowadays sprinters even beat the punchers up hills. The grand tours are rapidly losing their old cool style & flare. I wish the break away would get its day. Pro cycling is getting more boring every year.

Wasn’t the Giro always about sprinters. I remember reading an article about why so many Italian teams were sponsored by food companies or domestic appliance manufacturer. It concluded that the last hour of the stage was watched by Italian housewives so thats why they were sponsoring the teams. It also said that the stages were heavily sprint biased because they wanted someone like Chipo on the podium because of his looks and physical appearance rather than a 7 stone climber.

No Rogla either

Not a great way for Mads to thank his team for their work!

A delta of 50 PTS is a risk ....

Following on CC

These stages are boring nothing happens on GC

Waaah where's Roglic, what's happened to Ayuso

Tiberi in trouble

Glad to see Bernal not hurt. Other than Ciconne it looks like the cat assassin is the biggest loser

Drama

Pretty much all the other contenders are losing 50” to Del Toro, Yates (VLAB) being the exception. Del Toro is always near the front and that has paid dividends - as I say that he almost crashes at the same point but holds it.

We nearly lost Del Toro there

Seems to be a slippery patch on the wheel tracks on that slight bend
