    Fingers crossed for an uninterrupted Giro.

    Did the same Cerny or Dennis?

    Did the same Cerny or Dennis? went for Cerny, as a saver in case the breakaway was stronger

    Dennis has been fantastic.

    Dennis has been fantastic.  There was those that doubted INEOS signing him, but he has been the perfect super domestique team mate.  Looks genuinely to be enjoying himself in this race.

    I spent last night going Dennis or TdG.  Went the wrong way.

    There was a time where he could have been winning GC himself, he was always going to be a good domestique if he got the right team and wage. He just didn’t get on with some in his old team and wasn’t willing to work for someone he didn’t have faith in.

    What a stage, as much as I don’t think racing should be happening, that was great. 0:01 between them into the final TT

    I forgot to make any subs today, think it worked out for the best.

    I glad the break stayed away,

    I glad the break stayed away, a bunch sprint over the last 100 metres would have been a crashfest, a dip in the road into a cobble roundabout and a cobbled crossing just before the line. It would have been messy.

    All kicked off in Italy today

    All kicked off in Italy today then…Lotto and AG2R seemingly didn’t turn up on time for the start, while other teams didn’t want to ride 260km in that weather today after long transfers last night, so the CPA (under pressure) had to ask for it to be shortened and many teams aren’t happy.

    Thankfully, I slept in and

    Thankfully, I slept in and missed the deadline today, so didn’t put him in. TdG will keep trying, but Guerreiro just has to mark him.

    The GC is changing dramatically, so much that the BBC writer must be wetting himself, he’s not mentioned Tao once, but is covering Froome and trying to figure out how he can make 30 minutes back…

    TdG seems to be basically

    TdG seems to be basically ensuring that he picks it up if Guerreiro does DNF for any reason.

    Obviously I’d put Visconti in today, assuming that yesterday he skipped the break to save his gas for today.  Nope!

    Visconti out as a DNS, so

    Visconti out as a DNS, so that’s the KOM done now. Guerreiro can’t really lose it.

    Right then, with the Agnello

    Right then, with the Agnello apparently off the menu, today’s the day.  Double rations of rice cakes!  Bring out your climbers!  We’re off to the Stelvio!

    I’ve had a shoddy Giro to be honest, too much chasing and not enough scoring, but just imagine if Thomas hadn’t fallen off…

    …….Ulissi in the break today. He clearly knew I had taken him out!

    I would have joined you had it not been for the Coronavirus in that team.

    The ugly duckling who

    The ugly duckling who inevitably becomes a swan when you take him out. I lanced the Fuglsang boil today & replaced him with ………. Ulissi…. I’ll get my coat.

    Fuglsang is haunting me….I

    Fuglsang is haunting me….I’ve still got him. Fancied today’s finish was ok for him if it came back together and tomorrow looks the same.

    Could somebody please steal my password and replace him with Visconti or Hindley.
