I know loads of people who’ve had Covid in the past month including myself for the first time. Seems to be a mild strain compared to previous ones but it’s just not in the news any more.

Broken hipDidn't bother watching this stage today and just switched over from 4 Jours de Dunkerque to find out Tao crashed and is out of the race

I gather it's raining at the finish today; the wettest Giro ever?
I came in just after the feed zone and am guessing that Gee did not get his own nose bag but got fed by his team mates which makes sense especially bearing in mind the crash at the tdf a few years back. Is this something which is a thing now and all teams do?

Domestiques have had that duty since time immemorial no?

I've never noticed before and no. I would hazard a guess it was Armstrong who crashed when taking a bag?
Collecting a musette for your GC rider? obvs not always needed, but certainly a thing.

Of course they couldn't be arsed to move the finish, so it still has the descent they were all worried about.
Yeah hopefully will be rooting for Healy for years to come, unless he turns out to be a total prick or something.

Was entirely his own fault, while his style is very entertaining it’s not exactly efficient

Also, if I ever meet him, I'm definitely suggesting we play poker.

I mean fantastic ride by the guy, but talk about telegraphing.

Just ridiculous numbers when you see them like that. 379 top tens from 1259 race days is all the more impressive when you think a lot of those will be GT stages where he rolled in with the grupetto. Would love to see a breakdown for the purely sprinting days.

Looking fwd to tomrrow's Giro stage. Shame Remco left early. The GC race has been a snoozefest. I'd bet on Roglic winning, see his destruction of Remco & Almeida on Stage 5 of this riveting Volta A Catalunya.

Pretty much by design. The final week is so brutal they were always going to have to keep something in reserve. Add in Remco leaving early, plus the horrendous weather…

The formation of the breakaway has been the most exciting thing this Giro. I think the race might be remembered more for the likes of Healy, Gee, Denz than whoever wins it.
There's still time I suppose.
Also Sivakov abandoned. Ineos really understrength now.
