Mads can do it for 2-3K at 7.5 % - not for 10K

The first 2/3 of the Giro is pretty light on GC days and tomorrow is one, especially because of how early in the race it is.

I'll be shocked if both Bora and UAE ride it slow.
Roglic is not interested in the maglia rosa or competing for a stage win. UAE maybe who knows how they are working internally. Yesterday they were pretty unorganised and I wouldn't bet on anyone other than Vine to offer himself up for the rest of the team.

But the more I think about it the better I like the idea of Lidl putting Vacek in the break and call it a day.
 
McNulty always fails someday.

Only Ayuso and Yates really matter. And Yates has problems as a GT leader, as seen in the Vuelta.
Isaac Del Toro given green light in first year to race Vuelta, this year boss gave thumbs up for Giro..Del Toro made front group on Pedersen win, up there in the sprint, today he ripped to 12th place behind a flying Josh "TT" Tarling @18 seconds back. and he kept close margins on other national TT champs like McNulty. Respectable racing indeed

I skimmed an article, in which WVA wife says they cut their stay in Italy short to go see their own doctor. Saying that if you're ill you want to see your own doctor. Feels so weird to me. I just assumed a team like Visma would have a doctor on hand. And that said doctor would be more than good enough to have earned the rider's trust.
 
Jefferson Cepeda with a terrible performance, losing more than 2 minutes.

Jefferson Cepeda with a really strong ride, squeezing in between the Yateses in 27th, only losing 33 seconds. I didn't know he could TT decently.
