Brave full suit and tennis white shoes look from the chap in the middle.

Edit: Just been informed it's actually the Prime Minister of Albania, Edi Rama with the shoes. God help them.

They're not really presenting the route, are they?
At this point I totally expect them to anounce they'll present it at some point in march and they're helding this glorified meeting only to say that.

Ok, I just gave my haircut a little refresh on the sides and stuff and looks like I didn't miss anything...

Guys, Vegni is still cooking da Pizza, wait until it's finished.
But the production value has really dropped a lot this year, this time it's just a dark, small hall hosting the presentation.

Castelraimondo and Vicenza a little worse than I expected.
Grappa from Romano, stage went from bad to worse.
The rest as expected. The Strade Bianche stage is the highlight for me. Hopefully there are guys that want to race it for real.

With every rumour this route was getting worse and from a potential 8 or 9 back in the end of October it dropped down to 6 at most.

i have no issue with the first 14 stages. but after that it absolutely blows. what's infuriating is that just a few changes would make it excellent.

here's what i want:
Zoncolan from the easiest side
Mortirolo from the easiest side
at least 3, but ideally 4 mountain top finishes on climbs less than 7% average
10 sprint stages
a time trial on the penultimate day that is so hard everyone saves their energy for it for the entire previous 19 stages

looks like i got most of these. room for improvement though.

Like seriously, what's the point of the Bormio stage, they haven't even bothered to use the Contador side. So many amazing route possibilities and they give us that sh*t!!
