Does the Giro have no race-radio, that gives out race information? Seems like nobody knows what's going on.

I... think we might have a break.
I'm still not sure about that.I... think we might have a break.

Preferably start now so we can have a 5 page discussion on Evenepoel on blubber roads in relation to W/kg and aeronessAll they need now is some heavy rain on that sterrato finish.
Expect Mohoric' hospital bill on your doorstep in a few weeks time.Just switched on. Everything looking completely controlled and unspectacular, just as I expected
Gallopin or Mollema looking to join the "stage wins in all three GTs club" from the break. Though I suspect Dan Martin is still more likely to do that today.
The Giro used to have an 'arrival' category which essentially awarded any MTF >cat.1 status. The beautiful Pescocostanzo stage of 2008, much as though I praised it and enjoyed it as a stage and design, from a GPM perspective it was kind of stupid as it therefore had more points available (15) for the 3km uphill punch than were available for Manghen or Mortirolo (10). This feels like a throwback to that!Just noticed that the finish of under 6km at under 6% is categorized as cat 1. Because there's only Cima Coppi above cat 1, it's an equivalent of HC in the Tour.
Guess Arcalis is finally deposed from the worst HC climb categorization ever.
