    Yeah…. finally a GT. 

    Should be interesting. Not the strongest line up we’ll ever see but that might be a great chance for the under card….

    Big sprint day tomorrow. I took a very risky no MVDP for purist in favour of Demare and Nizzolo who’s respective teams look set up to try and win the points jersey. I think I might have f up… Can Mareczko even sprint faster than MVDP?.. I’m not sure who’ll be leading who out… Mmmm…

    Brill.. nice. Caleb and Valverde did for me… I’d still pick the same two if they replayed it tomorrow though.

    I’m not really a big fan of ex pros doing commentary, they know their stuff but the delivery is just rubbish very often…. and that goes for any sport… 

    I make a big exception for Robbie Mcewen… he’s really good. He’s made for this.

    Oh yeah, I remember why I had trouble with the intermediate sprint points last year. The Giro website only posts the top 5 and points for the sprint competition. Not the points comp or the bonus seconds. Looks like I’ll need to go digging for the proper ones.

    Ewan must be gutted, survive

    Ewan must be gutted, survive the climb then come off with the line in sight. I think he was well over his limit and that probably contributed to his fall, but fair play to him. None of the other ‘proper’ sprinters were even close.

    First four stages look very

    First four stages look very similar to two years ago by profile… but with the first two stages in reverse order. Quite a nice guide to just what a mixed bag we’re in for.

    Just pick puncheurs who can win a bunch sprint and TT.  So pick VDP 8 times and you’re laughing.

    I see what you mean up to stage 5.  If ever there was an opportunity for clever transfer strategy, that is it.

    Quite a mix of stages for the first few as well… it’s a transfer trap.

    Yeah values were tough
    Yeah values were tough without any of the big guns here and the other stars maybe not having the seasons they were wanting. Should be a fascinating race! I’m expecting many surprises.
