Two big UCI races today with all too predictable sprint finishes ...

Yeah, boohoo.

Jens Voigt can also be quite painful at times.

If I really had to make a choice I'd take Eisel.
Also don't know how much more of Brian Smith I can take,
Missing the classic Kirkby-Kelly combo.

I like Kelly, I know some people can't stand him.

Knox is 17th and he also hasn't finished in the top 20 in any stage. There are many potential ninjas in this race.

The ninja battle might end up being more entertaining than the top 10............

At least, they kicked out the motorcycle that crashed Viviani out of the Giro. Good!!!

So basically if Sagan wins another medium mountain stage he gets the points jersey again. He is making the race interesting. Lol.

Yep. He just gotta do it on his own again since the team said the maglia ciclamino is not the priority but the GC and the podium conquest is, with either Majka or Konrad, whoever feels better in the 3rd week...

At this rate the top 10 will be Nibali and the Nine Ninjas

At this rate the top 10 will be Nibali and the Nine Ninjas

And 8 of the ninja's will look at Nibali.

Meanwhile, Antonio Nibali, the Greatest Of The Nine, will take off in search for the pink jersey to bring it back to his Master.

People complaining about Giro field when the best French rider skipped Tour to ride Giro smh.

Certainly the winningest French rider. But he's beating up on the Little Sisters of the Poor here.

(I'm a big fan of Demare; every year it seems he takes a small step from dominating races like the Three Days of Some Godforsaken Mining Town in Picardie to shining in GTs etc.)

I'm not a fan of Demare, but I love the Three Days of Some Godforsaken Mining Town in Picardie.

To be fair, he's spent a lot of time in recent weeks getting the team to work their tails off and then not being able to deliver the win at the end, and the race he actually won was the one where it was all him, so maybe that would be for the best for him.

Maybe he got bored like some of the fans............

And one of them just rode the Tour.............still I think Demare has earned himself a Tour ride next season. It would be silly of Groupama to turn down potential stage wins when the team leader's history in grand tours is so erratic.

This Demare show is getting boring... Mountains cannot come soon enough!!! Congrats though, he deserved the win today.

Yes, an amazing race!!! But yesterday Sagan won, solo

I think many will remember Demare winning 4 maybe five times this Giro but each stage will be forgettable, but most everyone will remember the Raid by Sagan yesterday. Many will fondly remember the whole race from keeping Demare's team at bay and the elimination by Sagan of his competitors one by one and even the attack by Bilboa to try to catch Sagan or even the Bjerg Oooops I mean McNulty getting away from the group. but almost no one will remember much about Demares wins even though he is doing great this Giro. Sprints need to be in these GTs and sprinters are memorable but most sprint stages are how they unfold aren't often memorable.
