Actually you are wrong. Dumoulin had really good legs in Abu Dhabi.. In the TT he was leading until bad luck. In the mountain stage he had just closed the gap on Valverde after the first attack, and then his brake was pushing against the rear wheel..

In Strade he was slightly ill, in Tirreno ill and crashed. In MSR he was good but not positioned enough on the front to do something.

So yeah, no results, but form wasn´t bad.

He did not. He was on the front pulling for Kelderman for some time, then he stopped, and about 500-1000m further he had that problem with his bike. Formolo closed that gap by the way...

HE already had the problem when he dropped off. It's actually the reason he dropped off. It was in our local newspapers later on and in some cycling magazines. Appearently never reached your news. Understandable

Fortunately, Sosa won't be selected for the Giro.
That's good, he shouldn't be rushed into it at all. I think another year at pro-conti too won't do him any harm. Last year there were signs of his talent but this year he's really stepped up: he'll be better off without pressure and with a free role or leader at Androni rather than a domestique or 'hot talent' at ef drapac or even sky. Bernal had two years near the top of the continental circuit, and Sosa should do that too - his first year was not bernal level, but these two stages have been very good.

Ben O’Connor is continuing his Zubeldia like form from Catalunya and Pais Vasco. 8th today and now 15th overall, while barely being seen.

Not bad for someone who recently turned 22.
If i remember correctly he was pretty good in the last Österreich-Rundfahrt, he seems to be a talented young rider.
 
Stage 3 Ora - Merano - only 138 km

Will Sky/Froome give it a go up to Passo della Mendola/Mendelpass ?

No love for Ben O'Connor and Michal Schlegel? They are doing pretty well. Schlegel even despite being domestique for Amaro Antunes here.
