Would've been better to just wear a band around his arm instead of these shorts. The colour mismatch was quite ugly.

It's the same colour! I don't care if they call it some other fancy name. Still the same colour.
I think yesterday had the benefit that a lot of teams tired themselves out cos of the sprinters break. I can't see an attack at the end without that happening as teams are fresher and more together

Do not like that roundabout with 400m to go. Hopefully they use both sides as it's single file for cars on both sides and some nice road signs to boot in the entrance and exit of the roundabout.
(Trying to work out why the ristorante by the roundabout is called Turtle in Spanish ...

Pog is wearing black shorts today, everyone can relax now.
As for Fabio, well, things could be going better. Hope he does better today than yesterday, vamos, Fabio!

Funnily enough I think they've been able to fit it in among their other duties.
I don't really see the issue either, it's just to prevent an overlap of the different jerseys in the same way EF had to change theirs. It makes sense.

Did they announce or explain Pog's maroon shorts beforehand? Like many things I probably missed it if they did... I personally didn't mind, but it would have been nice to know the shorts were just a one-day thing as a commemoration to the Torino FC club, just for information's sake. Going back to black shorts makes sense though, as you had mentioned.
A few raindrops on the camera lenses now.

Black shorts it seems yes. He didn't go full Pantani with pink shorts, yet.

Apparently they've removed the roundabout at 400m to go I mentioned in the stage-by-stage analysis, makes the finale a bit less dangerous (but it's still significantly more dangerous than an average sprint finish).

How do you remove a roundabout? Surely it's still on the road?

Three guys upfront and peloton chillin' about 3- 4mins back, a few raindrops, and the odd pee break here and there... nah, I'm afraid I don't think you really missed all that much.

Considering that there is (or rather, was) a fountain in the middle of it, it must have been a rather expensive operation. Definitely not unusual for a roundabout to be paved over for a GT finish though, the Tour in particular does this with some regularity.
