Great preview. I suppose there are the usual time bonuses? So looks like the steppers will get the maillot rose and keep it if Cav is up to the task for the first week.

Slight change to time bonuses this year. New time bonuses are 10-6-4 for stage finish. And 3-2-1 for intermediates.

Really dissapointing route tbh. Too many mtf's, too few epic hilly stages.

This will very much boil down to riders making the race. I hope some of the DSs understand the necessity of trying to entertain while riding along 3500 kms of road.

Imagine if none of the big three sprinters takes the startlist after getting lots of low hanging fruit in the first 10 stages or so. If they fail to start here, I hope the Giro won't give them such an opportunity again.

Anyway I'm confident Quintana, J-Rod, Uran etc will make it a solid race.

Add Pirazzi, Rolland, Hoogerland Hansen and Rabottini for starting the party on some stages.

The Giro will deliver I think.
