He has been looking good. A lot better right away than I expected, dont know if that is a reason they slowed down the racing a bit. If he was too good, too early or that they are just being careful to manage his back, so that he will be okay and fresh for 3 weeks of racing coming up. Which I guess is probably the main concern.

This does not change anything for the Giro in my opinion. It is Yates, Bernal and Landa. The other ones coming out of here have a shot but I would not put 5 stars on them yet. As for Remco, please let him come back to racing first. Let's be realistic.

We should be realistic, and not throw around crazy predictions like last year of Remco winning the Giro with 15 minutes. It is very possible that he will win with a difference smaller than 5 minutes. We must come to terms with this.
I kid, i kid.

I don't know much about neither him or his brother, but they seem to have ridden both MTB and cyclo-cross in the past, so their emergence should perhaps not surprise us. I guess there will also be some U23 riders, who seem to develop rapidly this year, but in reality it's mainly because they had limited opportunities to prove themselves last season.

He's Norwegian.
He's the twin-brother of Anders Halland Johannessen.
He rides for the Uno-X Dare Development Team.
He's likely to finish 6th tomorrow.

When on song, Yates is the only who can play with Pogi and Roglic . He's such a spectacular rider as well.
For me, Yates has been too inconsistent in the last two years to be super confident about his prospects at the Giro - As long as he is patient, close to top form and is consistent then you expect a podium - I have Bernal as favorite but without much confidence.

Imho, the Yates'es blew a great chance to become the best GT racer in history, by both pretending to be the same rider. Adam riding the first 10 days and Simon the second half.
The brothers Evenepoel are handling it smarter so far at least.

It must have been annoying though for the one who didn't crash and still couldn't race all this time.

I think the Froome brothers are doing a better job. For almost 10 years it was Christos who cashed the cheques while Chris was riding, but now they have decided to switch roles again.

Three, but their parents only registered Rudy, though officially they called him Remco. And then there are Dirk and Herman. Dirk and Herman are experts at hiding in the bushes. Rudy usually goes in the attack, and after 10-20km Dirk takes over, while Herman spends a lot of time developing victory celebrations. He usually jumps in the final 5k. Herman is also the arrogant one of the bunch, luckily it was him who got injured. Dirk left a gap in the descent to stay out of sights so that the camera wouldn't notice the switcheroo, and only 200 meters later Herman went over the bridge.
This is what went wrong in stage 1 of Burgos last year. Rudy attacked but Dirk fell asleep in the bushes, so the peloton caught Remco. With the long break in Germany two years ago, it was Herman who screwed up.

Who is in charge of their social media accounts? And are they all in a relationship with the same woman, or does she have multiple sisters as well?

This question was basically the plotline for an episode of "the mallorca files" (a very bad series with lovely photoshop-postcard views). If you ever forget what "the general public" thinks about pro cycling...
