UAE sends a stronger team to the 2.1 races for UCI points than to this Giro.

The line between meme-team and dream-team can be rather narrow.

Ofc, but I do believe in second chances depending on the severity ofc.

If you think this wasn't passive enough, they actually had a tailwind today. And yet gaps are tiny

In Italy people dont go to jail for killing a cat, much less see that a 20 year-old is shamed and cut out of his profession for the rest of his life over it. Redemption is favored over punishment.

Aru did manager a GT win and two more podiums during his two peak years, before he suddenly declined. If Tiberi managers to reach about the same level and extend his peak years for a longer time, he should be very satisfied. Especially if the current trend continues, with the widespread neglect of the Giro from a vast majority of the top GC riders.

UAE riding to get Pogi stage wins at minimum effort is the worst scenario for this race so I hope Mikkel Bjerg stops offering to chase breaks down.

Hope we won't have pages of pet morals every time Tiberi does anything in this race.

Today the team controlled a dangerous break very well and finally they were claso to `Pogacar till the end..Not a super team, but maybe the second best team now of the race, with Lipowich out of the race. It would be very boring if Pogacar had the best team as well, with so little big names here.
it was a good climb for Pogacar, maybe a little bit long, but he doesnt have super climbers here to put hi in problems.
Maybe in the Queens stages, but he has Majka and a good margin to manage a potential bad situation-
Anyway we still have race.

How about Sagan's drunkenly fighting police officers "because he feared he would be taken to a hospital and vaccinated"? Where does that rank

I think he strategically mitigated that by becoming irrelevant before that happened. Quite smart actually. Also maybe a bit too comical and not serious enough to ruin someones reputation completely.How about Sagan's drunkenly fighting police officers "because he feared he would be taken to a hospital and vaccinated"? Where does that rank
Tiberi? The young lad screwed up. It's not like he's irredeemable. And I like cats.

Whilst everyone is throwing in some opinion about cats, here's mine: I was walking my golden retriever last year (on a leash) when a stray cat attacked him. The damned cat went for his face & nearly scratched his eyes out. Then there's other cats around here who're very territorial & will literally stalk me (i.e. whilst hissing & whatnot) when I'm walking my dog through 'their' street.
So I mean I love animals as much as most normal people do but there's a limit & that limit is called "real life experiences which aren't a Disney cartoon". There are no excuses obviously for deliberately shooting a cat but these things can be very aggressive, even dangerous & yes, they also slaughter birds, lizards & loads of other town wildlife because their owners apparently don't give a sh*t about them roaming around killing stuff in & out of other people's private property as well.
That was a slight off topic but there you go.

Big loser outside of Plapp was Bardet. No need to roll the dice in the break already. He lost 2:16 today. He had good form the past few days and gets zip for it.
Are we allowed bad puns and lame wordplay, at least?Hope we won't have pages of pet morals every time Tiberi does anything in this race.

Starts with a breakaway that isn't as dysfunctional as todays. On paper todays group was strong but no one was willing to work. Too many guys with GC ambitions. Not enough helpers.
Should improve in the 2nd/3rd week when GC dropouts go after stage wins.

Not all cats. There's one cat that takes his rightful place at the top of evolution.

Storer lost just 13 seconds after being in the same break though, if he was both able and willing to limit his time losses he would have finished much closer.

The biggest loser was Lutsenko, who broke the record on this climb exactly one month ago. Bardet will keep yo-yoing in the GC. Next week a break might stay away.
P.S. I thought curiosity killed the cat, but it was Tiberi.
