    Meh. I felt a little unclean when I picked Cunego in PTP. Thought I was getting some glory to make up for it. Worst Giro ever :(

    So was that Valverde bringing home the GC group as they chased down Amador? Always the team player!

    Highest scorer on today's PTP - 4 points. Good choice... a point to those that picked Valverde.

    In terms of GC - 32% had picked Landa...

    Expected - non? He said he wanted to lose time and go for stages later on... guess that depends on how his saddle sore holds up.

    I fear it's going to be stage 19 before we see the lead group not finish basically together.

    Yeah, not a huge surprise. Although I didn't know that's what he'd said (I am behind on my cycling podcast...)

    I had high hopes for this stage.
    They were misplaced.
    Neo Pro rides away and holds the distance.
    Amador rides away and but for the help of Visconti, would have been caught.
    Bob Jungels becomes Bob Mountains.
    For the rest, the Phoney war continues until at least the weekend.

    Dumoulin could hardly sit down.

    I also only tuned in for the last 10km because I am in lectures and they didn't show much of Dumoulin.

    With two pan-flat sprint stages coming up I'll be surprised if Tom isn't gone before the next mountain stage.

    Jungels looks like he's presenting himself to whoever is behind there...
