I can't believe we're over half way through this Giro and the only GC differences are from flat TTs and crashes. What happened to the Giro?

I checked Strava and found some idea of a split on the climb, basically Buitrago was doing over 8 W/kg for the first half ~2'20 and he wasn't even neaer Roglic,.
I'm too young to die, please no.Caruso said before the Giro that he's looking forward to this one and the Tre Cime stage, fingers crossed and Santi Buitrago to crush all life on earth!
Now it really begins, it's just too bad half the GC contenders are outI can't believe we're over half way through this Giro and the only GC differences are from flat TTs and crashes. What happened to the Giro?
50/50Croix coeur canceled or not?
I go to sleep now. Tomorrow wake up and maybe we get an answer. Maybe the riders start the stage without knowing.Croix coeur canceled or not?
Unbelievable.I go to sleep now. Tomorrow wake up and maybe we get an answer. Maybe the riders start the stage without knowing.

As if we are going to race at GT in Italy only for poor Swiss road quality to cause a reroute.I don't know if anything has been announced since this morning.

more like ALmeida chases himI feel the same.
Probably no real action, until few kilometers to go…
Now that Jay Vine lost quite some time also today, I hope he‘ll attack from kilometer Zero, tomorrow. Then Almeida closes in on him later, and they could make the Giro interesting…
I thought it is usually the race organization that makes the decision about a section of a stage being rerouted or cancelled. But this is sounding like Swiss authorities would make the final decision?As if we are going to race at GT in Italy only for poor Swiss road quality to cause a reroute.
LOL. Rubio is 21.This is the stage where it all happens!
Einer Rubio to enter the top 20!
Correct. Sounds not right. Chances are a lot higher than 50% if we know weather will be OK.As if we are going to race at GT in Italy only for poor Swiss road quality to cause a reroute.
The route design this year, while solid, was never going to create race altering gaps early on. Combine that with the fact that we seem to be spinning a lottery wheel on what GC contender exits every day, that has made the Giro so far. However, I have an annual event tomorrow, and last year this event was on the same day at the Torino stage, so hopefully tomorrow can bring similar action!I can't believe we're over half way through this Giro and the only GC differences are from flat TTs and crashes.

Stelvio is longer and tougher with the top of the climb over 600m higher than Coeur. There was almost no flat between Stelvio and Lago di Canceno on that stage. At that was the last big mountain stage, not the first.This stage reminds me of passo di stelvio stage at the giro 2020.
Kuss will drop almost everybody on croix coeur with roglic on his wheel, like rohan dennis did.
