Like Jan Ullrich in 2006 vs Ivan Basso.

Hed probably still podium at worst with nearly 80 km of itt

I guess the Intergiro sprint is at the second sprint for the stages where it isn't marked on its own?

EDIT: Nope, those are simply old profiles that don't show the Intergiro sprint. E.g. stage 2 has the Intergiro sprint at km 106.6.

@ammattipyoraily:

Looks like 8 sprint finishes to me maybe two or three could slightly reduce group sprints. Lots of boring stages this year. I hope the interesting ones are raced well by the riders. Lesser sprinters should be licking the lips for this route.

Yeah the stage 17/18 flat sprint stage is really unnecessary with a stage 21 parade stage? Ditch it.

Stage 16 is atrocious! What were they thinking on putting a 100km valley after Stelvio (and we can add a super hard stage the day after...)?

People are complaining about some later stages but this edition is unusual and it should be virtually decided at the end of week one (after ITT + Prati di Tivo combo). Heck, Teddy should sit comfortably in the lead after the opening weekend already.

Yes lets waste the Stelvio where everyone is going to get back on and the rest of the climbing is short enough for a very large Grupetto(sp) to form it is essentially almost a unipuerto stage. Where the sprinter get to suffer early but still know they will easily make the cutoff.

If he wants, he will be 2 and half minutes ahead in the GC after the first weekend.

Checked my local bookmaker..... Pogacar is 1/5.

Insane odds for a GT. I'm not sure when we've had such an outright favourite for a GT.

It shows how easy they expect the Giro to be for him that he is also now as short as 1/2 with many bookies to win the Tour after the hugely consequential Itzulia crash.
