[red_flanders]

All I can say is someone ought to be paying you for this content. Fantastic! Thank you.

 

[Pricey_sky]

As usual, the best thread of the year.

Superb work once again Eshnar!

 

[lemon cheese cake]

Brilliant guide to the race as always

 

[Netserk]

No matter how much it can be expected at this point, a great guide like this should never be taken for granted. Part of what really gets me in Giro mode year after year, thank you.

 

[Red Rick]

You missed FEDAIAAAAA!!!!!!!!!

 

[Devil's Elbow]

At this point, either the forum nor the Giro is complete without this thread. Thank you!

Eshnar, in the stage 16 (queen stage) you wrote "Meanwhile, the Canyon of Sottoguda has been wrecked by a flood, and who knows when it will be ready again to host a race ". So you mean that they are taking a different route? is it to much different from what we have usually seen before?

 

[Sciatic]

Thanks Eshnar! Awesome, as usual!

It's a few km in the middle of the ascent.

Compare the old profile of the ascent with the new one:

Amazing guide, just like last year it succeeds in hyping the Giro for me. Now 8 May can't come soon enough

 

[DaLong]

Great guide. Only disappointment is no stages like last years Tortoreto or this years Castelfidardo in TA. Love those rolling stages they have sometimes in Italy.

 

[SafeBet]

Chamber of lies just downgraded to second best thread of the year.

This never disappoints!

Yeah. Reminds me of La Flo's devotion toward Contador.

there is a more modern road that goes above the gorge instead of in the middle of it. That's the one they used in the 90's, before Zomegnan decided to use again the old one for scenic effect.

Wow! Fantastic work! Thank you!

Go to resource for the next four weeks: thanks

 

[Mayomaniac]

Great job, as usual!
Stage 4 is pretty good to create some gaps early on and the first week MTF is harder than I thought.
The sterrato stage is awesome and the medium mountain stage right after it has some potential.
I would have added 20km to the opening ITT (making the Grado-Gorizia stage a TT would have been even better), so that you don't have to bank on the sterrato to create some gaps.
I dislike the Zoncolan stage and there are a bit too many uphill finishes, but with more kmss of ITT it would be a really good route.

Thank you very much for your work, Eshnar. Unfortunately my printer isn't working, so it's a bit difficult to read, hope I'll figure that out in the next days...

The Bible was difficult to read also.

Most definitely God's work.

 

[stukkene]

Briljant, always an absolute pleasure to read!

Brilliant work as always. As @Netserk wrote, as much as we have come accustomed to it, we must never take this thread for granted. Thanks @Eshnar for putting the entire forum into Giro mood year after year.
