No! I don't like rui costa, he is always sucking wheels.Rui Costa, is this you?
Well, if that was the case, we would have probably heard about him by now. If he was a pro cyclist, good enough to participate in the Giro. So i'd exclude that option. Would you agree? Maybe the poster is Rohan Dennis. That would make more sense
My genes are not that good, sorry. But I can run pretty fast...
Edit:
I was obviously being sarcastic, both times. The "joke" was that Froome doesn't really put fear into anybody with his ITT performance in 2021, I believe. Remco (a healthy Remco) on the other hand probably does.
Even if the poster's name is Froome. My name is johnymax, but I'm not johnymax. Yours is tobydawg, but you probably aren't tobydawg, I guess. Do I really have to explain those things?
P.S.
If your response is "Yes, my name is tobydawg", you win the internet
That looks like a fun stage, not bad at all for stage 3.close-up of stage 3 finale (from cicloweb forum)

Such is the nature of time. Someone should really do something about that.You're getting old.

no, only the first three stages. The presentation is supposed to be next week but we still don't know exactly when.So was the whole Giro presented?
Where is the route?

1 Torino ITT
2 Stupinigi - Novara
3 Biella - Canale d'Alba
4 Piacenza - Sestola
5 Modena - Cattolica
6 Frasassi - Ascoli (S. Giacomo)
7 Notaresco - Termoli
8 Vasto - Foggia
9 Castel di Sangro - Campo Felice
REST
in theory it should look very different from the 2017 anyway. The rumours have mentioned La Verna and Monte Camaldoli, which would imply a descent finish from the Passo dei Mandrioli. If this is true it would be a very serious stage. Here is an examplary profile taken from Ciclowebwhat would a Bagno di Romagna finish look potentially like (I don't think I saw the stage that finished there a few years ago.) Like hilly, mountains?
This was pretty good. If there is one thing RCS could have done a lot better the last years, it would be to fully exploit the hills and mountain in the Apennines.in theory it should look very different from the 2017 anyway.
