Supposed to be 28C for the stage. Could it be that one or two suffer going from the cold to the warm?

Interesting... Im prone to tiredness, low energy and headaches whenever this happens. Id guess im not some huge outlier and a couple guys in the peloton atleast would feel the same. We could be in for a surpise tomorrow who knows.

It happened in Sega di Ala two years ago after a few days of very cold weather.
That's the stage when Bernal struggled and lost more than a minute. Vlasov lost 3, Carthy lost 4.
Overall gaps were huge compared to expectations.

Bernal was the back issue, no? And I basically only remember Cortina d'Ampezzo being *** weather.

And they had a temperature transition day yesterday.

I think the bigger issue is all the detraining they've done the past 2 weeks.

This side of Monte Bondone reminds me a of Grand Colombier. I would have preferred the Robobasso-side of the climb, but I guess it really doesn't matter all that much compared to what the riders actually wanna serve us..

Not sure with this Giro. Don't think the Trento side would have much more than 5km of action either. It would probably make a 2km attack for Rog more attractive.

This has more go big or go home vibes, and probalby more room for tactics with domestiques up the road.

Scenes when he just waits amd waits and goes down 20s on the flat split before dropping 7W/ kg Monte Lussari and doesnt celebrate because the mailman doesnt celebrate when he delivers the mail
Mario Balotelli is my sporting hero he has more charisma in his left ear than Roglic on his whole body. Please don't think Roglic come close to Mario thanks

7 years ago today! The Russian Cosmonaut.

He was high as a kite that day, high on the feeling of victory that is.

This is one of the best moment in cycling in the last 10 years.

Actually FOLIFOROV competed only twice on the 22nd of May in his entire career and won on both occasions. He is actually unbeaten on the 22nd of May, and so some groups of cycling fans celebrate this day as a special foliforov day paying tribute to the legend.

Didn't know you like clowns, cause that's precesily Mario Balotelli is. Fausto Masnada doesn't look like one, nor Nibali.
And Roglic has that sort of class, Balotelli can't even imagine. Just wait and you'll see...

Edit: And if you're want a class act among the footballers, try with Zinedine Zidane;)
