Aren't they starting a week later this year?
If so, why don't they put Bondone on Pentecost Sunday and Drei Zinnen on Pentecost Monday for the audition in South Tyrol, Austria & Germany since it's a holiday there?
Push the final restday to Tuesday.
That way you could either put Zoldo Alto on Friday or keep it at Thursday, but nevertheless make it substantially harder to level out the 3 TT's.
That makes a lot more sense IMHO than the 3 in a row block. Seems like they haven't learned a single bit from the 2008 Giro d'Italia mistakes of stage placement.
If a major mountain stage is midweeks anyway. Better put Drei Zinnen on a holiday elsewhere, than waste Zoldo Alto on a workday just everywhere.
Theoretically you could even materialize Zoncolan on Wednesday then, if you're a sadist!
