This narrative "Roglič fan". Lets just say it like this. If Thomas or Almeida would do what Roglič did on stage 20. Then i am sure that being a fan of some cyclist wouldn't play a role in this conversations. As for no GC action. On Tre Cime Roglič smashed the record. Almeida lost some serious time and Thomas cracked in the end too. If that isn't GC action i don't know what is.

It isn't, regardless of the winner. It is not enough, IMHO. There was no action for most of the 3 weeks, so 1 day of action cannot make up for it.

I did drop my chain and later passed cyclists who were ahead of me before I dropped my chain, actually. Guess I‘m Primoz Roglic.

I had a feeling it was you Primož. The thing that confused me is you said you made the ride on Thursday and we all know it was on Saturday. Due to the age such things can be forgiven.

I am glad that we both agree it was an instant classic. On the important stuff.

When a legend wins that usually is enough by itself. As for there being no action. Main GC favorites all shifted time. During the three weeks. And one exceptional day can in my opinion make up for it.

But OK i do get it. Some of you made up your mind already. Before the stage 20. History on the other hand is much more forgiving. Now back to the future.

I really wonder if you are trolling......

No, it's really not enough just that a legend wins.
No, it was hardly any GC action before stage 20. Not any longer than the last 3-4 kms of stges.
No, one exceptional day can't make up for a lack of action in the rest of the Giro.
Yes, it's completely legit to have made up our mind already before stage 20. Before absolutely nothing can make up for the general lack of action until then.

I watched some of the Giro stages in bed, and just like something else that might go on in a bed, it doesn't become a legendary experience just because there's a big explosion at the end. Not even if someone I like finishes first. I'm of course referring to the game of drinking more Red Bulls than your friends.

This posts disgusts me.

I can't imagine a more harrowing experience than the aftermath of a Red Bull drinking game. And no I say this without meaning to belittle Wout
