Different side than in last year's Giro though. 9 km at 9%.

Thinking a bit more of that profile for stage 19. It's definitely pretty good but just a couple of tweaks would make it epic. Sella Carnizza instead of Tanamea and finish it off with Matajur instead of Castelmonte. One can only hope.

Roglic looks great on this kind of terrain. Hope Lotto Jumbo will take him to Ardennes

Re: Of course not. That's just the usual reaction on here after every race.

On his crash “I think you can see from the video what happened. It was my fault, but I just don’t know,” Sagan explained. “I was near the barrier, yeah, but I was controlling the space; how close I was. I think it was a pullover or something, I didn’t know. “If you hit a barrier, you are...

“There were various crashes on the Muur. I couldn’t get up to the front. I thought that Quick-Step would do something there, but the others crashed two times, and I was a little bit behind, just that it was all blocked with riders everywhere,” Sagan added. “I was not far off after the Muur, but...
