Nothing screams better than the previous generation more than "only beats Kelderman because of The Worlds Greatest Domestique In The World"

So Almeida will be fourth or fifth in final GC but will only get third place in the youth classification.
I remember Vanhoucke saying after the Etna stage that he might target the white jersey because he basically only saw Almeida as competitor and he didn't look too good on the Etna.
Back then I already thought this to be very ambitious but it hasn't really aged well.
Having said that, I hope Vanhoucke turns out to be a decent climber and maybe even a GT prospect in the future but he might be a little more careful in his ambitions and estimating his opponents.

So, today INEOS will finish with 7 stage wins and the GC. When was the last time a team dominated a grand tour like this?
Sky, 2012 Tour. #1, and #2 in GC, 6 stage wins with 3 different riders.
The clocks went back last night and I'd completely forgot, so did my VM box apparently.
They are meant to be voting to stop this nonsense in the EU parliament next year but um... yeah.
If his circadian rhythm isn't as sensitive as mine then Rohan to take the stage.

Let's not be overly dramatic. I don't think this is some kind of new super gen breakout or anything but Tao has clearly been outright stronger than Wilco in this final week and we all knew this was where the race was likely getting decided (we just didn't expect it to be decided by and between these riders).
Kelderman still has the best domestique in the race who destroyed the entire field for him on Piancavallo and has been there every day since. It just turned out Kelderman himself couldn't continue to hold the wheels and his super dom is now the race leader lol. If Sunweb do lose this today it'll be because they decided not to go all in for one rider on Thursday (whether that was Jai dragging Wilco or Jai being let loose).
He really has had a pretty horrible race given he had so much freedom to do whatever he wanted. A combination of overestimation of himself and underestimation of others and then some really weird days to go look for a stage once his GC ride had imploded.
And, as I said elsewhere, ALL 8 riders being top 4 on a stage some time during the race (six of them top 2).

Or imagine if today was a sprint stage, and the situation still remained as it is. INEOS and Sunweb ripping it up in the intermediate sprints!

Commentators are upset that Adam Hansen hasn't been shown starting... 
Given how much he pissed off Vegni a couple of days ago, I don't think he will be seen crossing through the finish... and I wouldn't be surprised if his intermediate and final finish times are blacked out, too

Campenaerts took a shortcut... The organisers should close the left side of the roundabout.
edit: seems everybody takes the left side

It's the third points classification jersey won by FDJ in a Grand Tour.

It looks like quite a good time from Scotson. With the ways he's been going this year, I don't think Campenaerts can beat it.

EDIT: He got lucky... He was shown when Scotson was overtaking him... Feel sorry for the cameraman... This will be his last Giro to work as one
He will not be a GC rider most likely, or at most only in 1 week races. And when he made that comment, Hart was supposed to ride for Thomas, and Hindley 's level was unexpected by basically everyone. At that time it did seem like Almeida was in poleposition for white. After decent efforts in Tour de l'Ain and Ruta del Sol, it was not that strange to think Vanhoucke might be a contender for white here. But it's clear he does not have the engine for a GT, and needs to aim for stagewin or smaller races.
Campanaerts should come through ahead

He wants it badly... No wonder he is 69-70% in the red
He needs to have Rasmus Quaade as a mentor so he can get closer to 100%.
