Some interesting insight from Blythe today (shocking I know) about Ganna and how emotional he is and the impact that has as he was crushed after the first ITT and then got dropped very early the next day on a climb he can handle ok but reckons with the confidence of todays win he will be flying as a domestique tomorrow.
Bernal won the Giro like that. It doesn't seem to be that big of a problem anymore with the new training techniques. I was skeptical of this before but with Martinez is better like that. IMO.
Isn't the majority of the TV audience tuning in for the scenery? At least that's what they say about the tdf. Meaning many tv spectators don't care about the racing as much as having the free time to watch.
Ugh, did you really have to show that nasty picture again?
No, they tune in to watch the racing in Italy, but if they are working it's difficult to follow. It also depends on the stage. If in the high mountains, more people will watch. This is why I think it's best to make sure mountain stages occupy the weekends, or at least some stage that will likely offer some drama and thus incentive to tune in on TV.
After yesterday's win they wouldn't sanction Ganna even if he peed in the fountain.
1st place did not change. And second and third places just swapped positions for a few seconds. It didn't do anything, They were destined to battle the podium in the mountains.
