11:22 down after 1 stage does not seem to be a good place to be for a GC challenge

Gaviria getting covid is unsurprising because the translation of his surname is 'I gotta virus'

Run down the wing for me
my theory is Ricky Carapaz slipped Froome a mickey and will do the same to every other gringo that gets in his way

honestly, this is all too much to take in at once and I haven’t even watched the giro today

Setter is Better.
The length of the last five Giro road stages, three of which are MTFs:


16 (just finished): Udine - San Daniele del Friuli: 229km
17: Bassano del Grappa - Madonna di Campiglio: 203km
18: Pinzolo - Laghi di Cancano (Stelvio): 207km
19: Morbegno - Asti: 259km
20: Alba - Sestriere: 198km*
(very possible that this will be a reroute if COVID restrictions make Izoard impassible, from what I hear they'll probably just do the Finestre-Sestriere finish like at the end of the 2005/2015 Giros in that case)

Is Froome trying to get an hour off the front so he's allowed to get in a breakaway?

According to the profile, it's 9.5 km at 7.9%

Also, I want to say that it's absolute bullshit that we're only getting 18 stages of this crazy race
