Hopefully that is true on the two stages with gravel roads! He should excel there, but his wrist could take a beating
The wrist that was broken has been reforged!

Fresh from the presentation. Can't wait to smash the TT on Saturday.

Short interview by Ciro in the Gazzetta, here are some interesting bits:
Why didn’t you rule out yourself of the fight for the overall standings?
"The form is a question mark, I miss the comparison in the race. We'll see what to do as we go along. It was worth it to burn the time and be here, there was a desire not to throw away all the work done. At the last training camp in the Teide I felt I was doing well.
" I didn't care of the selection, but not out of indifference, I was super-focused on my recovery and I spoke often with team manager Luca Guercilena. At first glance it is not an 'all for one' team focused on the ranking. More of an attacking team.”
Surprised than Antonio wasn’t selected?
"Maybe so, I don't know. I don't know what to say about that. Antonio was going strong, he had shown that. But I didn't made the choices."
On retiring
"It fits as a reflection. We are all going through a difficult time in our lives. To continue or not... Only I can decide what to do or not to do. I don't have to be told by others. If they tell me 'why don't you stop', I might answer 'mind your own business'." So what, Rebellin? Choices. Anyway, I'm going on step by step, I haven't set anything in mind (who knows him well tends to say that he will be in the group also in 2022: now the first option seems Astana, ndr).

It was a bit of a shame that he left them, so it'd be great if he returns to Astana.

Impressive bike handling in the corners, hopefully that wrist holds up! Very respectable ride considering a broken wrist and 10 days off the bike!

So, tomorrow's a big day. It will rain, somebody must repeat into his ears that Colle Passerino is in fact Civiglio and he can choose what year it is between 2015,17,18 or 2019.
Meanwhile The Bag has been spotted.

And he can even carry it with his injured hand. (Hopefully not because it's empty.

What's going on here? It's the first big (or bag???) day of the giro and there doesn't seem to be any hype in this thread. C'mon people, I expected more from you

You can take the man out of Astana but you cannot take Astana out of the man.
