Yes pretty much this. It's very difficult to get over these kind of injuries by riding your bike 4+ hours a day at high intensities. The next three stages and the rest day in between will be important for this. If they're raced at slow pace and given to the break, it would be best for him to...

Guys it's coming together, Galibier no-risk-no-glory-raid to close the circle with 2017 I can feel it. (Just trying to cope here don't mind me)

Big day today! Breakfast now and then off to Copenhagen. Will post some updates during the day if I notice something interesting, have fun ya'll!

It would be a tough ask, but he has done it before. Like in Tirreno five years ago: https://www.procyclingstats.com/race/tirreno-adriatico/2017/stage-5

Will Sagan be able to sprint for the win in one of these stages? Today he came in the Grupetto 15 minutes down. Prime Sagan would have cleaned up today's stage. Maybe stage 3 could be an option?

Not sure I like the idea. Traveling to Australia surely requires two weeks of acclimatising, same on the way back. It would make it very difficult to compete in the Italian autumn races I feel. Also, he would have a chance to do well in Italy, in Australia, doubtful to be honest...

It's a bittersweet goodbye from the Giro. On the one hand, 4th in GC is so much better than I thought he could do three weeks ago. On the other hand, I would probably have taken 11th and a stage win over this. Day to day recovery is the most difficult thing when you get into your late 30s. There...

Kämna for second stage win.

This Giro doesn't deserve you, Guillaume!

I honestly thought the first two weeks of the Giro were really nice. Nothing too spectacular but certainly did the job and set everything up nicely for a big third week. But the last three mountain stages have been extremely disappointing. As the last mountain stage, this might be worse than...

Most random thing of the day has to be Van Emden riding in third position in the peloton the entire day

Who can tell Blythe that riders can literally stop at the side of the road to wait for their captains and they don't have to ride at full speed and just hope to be caught?

That was a funny sprint, Kristoff leading out himself. Haller takes it in the end

Quite a gap for Kämna. But the steep part is still going to be difficult
