    The front group didn't seem to be riding that hard any more.

    I think Bora just wanted a smaller break.

    I think the organisers have banned successful breakaways for this Giro.
    Another day of madhouse racing.

    Well I am totally confused, official tracker does not match TV pictures at all, and there must be more than one group up the road from the peloton

    Atapuma off the front + Kirby in the house = verbal water boarding.
