Anyway I am the only one counting 6 mountain stages. 5 of which are rubbish? Doesn't seem a good route

Whether Remco goes to the Giro or not he will probably end up having a two week training camp in Italy during May.

@Netserk saying the Tour route is better had me question my memory.

Bit however ass this Giro route is, it's still better than the Tour route. Imagine that.

Galibier-Sarenne wipes the floor with Giau, both as single stages and as part of the whole. Very little upside in the rest of the Giro route, unless you love a week 1 Blockhaus MTF and a stage 10 40 km flat ITT over the Tour's TTT, Tourmalet and ITT.

If I had a nickle every time they went full gas on the Galibier and it all came back together I'd be filthy *** rich.

I’m happy with it, purely because I’m going to watch stage 7 and 8 live

On top of that Tourmalet + Gavarnie can deliver long GC action as well. The rest of this Giro is more like uni-puerto Vuelta action. Very poor route (obviously the Tour is poor as well, too backloaded).
