    Instead of just comparing this year to the last couple of years, have another look at the first week of other Giros during the last decade.
    Except for 2011, the terrain of the earlier stages during 2010-2016 were all pretty much like this year's, 2013 especially. They were all 'back-loaded'; it's not this year which is different.
    I may have had my years clouded, but so far, so familiar.
    This cloud has a silver lining. A back loaded tour has it all to play for at the finish.
    The above may be fact, or fiction, I may be serious, I may be jesting.
    I am not sure. You have no chance.
