Giro d'Italia

Hot off the heals of the tour comes the Giro, really enjoying this crammed season of racing, this one looks like it could be a cracker too.

Interesting TT course, apparently Thomas hit 94kph.

Thomas having a mare, race over for him.

Never mind the racing, the scenery is jaw dropping.

Epic racing and epic scenery today.

Big day today. Rumours are that Ineos weren’t supportive of the stage being shortened yesterday, presumably because they thought Sunweb were on the ropes and wanted to keep them there.

I really hope that the Ineos train can get to work for Tao Geoghegan Hart today. If Dennis can dig as deep as he did over the Stelvio, anything is possible.

Does anyone have any idea what sort time TGH would be expected to lose to Kelderman in the final TT? I think he was about 30-odd seconds down on Kelderman on stage 1 but not sure how hard he’d have been going considering he was expecting to be riding for G rather than himself at that point.

Impossible to say what he'll lose, 3 weeks into a Tour and anything could happen, look what happened last month, anyway we're set for a cracking finale.

Fabulous result, this new generation of riders are gonna provide some amazing races for years to come.

Sprint stages with cloud and rain aren't the worst to miss to be honest!

Rain on a sprint stage is the only time they're remotely interesting.
