    This is really odd. They look like it's the final week and they're all knackered.

    I seem to remember some questioning why others favoured the Giro over all other GTs.
    Today is a prime example.
    The above may be fact, or fiction, I may be serious, I may be jesting.
    I am not sure. You have no chance.

    How did Castroviejo lose 7 minutes? I thought he might have been the back up plan.

    Elaine Dickinson: Well, we had a choice of steak or fish.
    Nibali: Yes, yes, I remember, I had lasagna

    Hopefully Caceido will hang on to win this.

    So I switched over to Dutch commentary on GCN App. And immediately noticeable how much less they talk.

    Thomas riding with his kit pinned together with safety pins. Must have been a bit off...

    Wonder what's wrong with Yates

    If you want to be a back up rider then you really shouldn’t take a day off on a sprint stage.

    Trust Jumbo to chase Kelderman down. He chose to go to Bora over them.

    It's one hell of a landscape up the top there, isn't it?

    Almeida could be in for the win as its a youngsters year.

    Can't recall seeing such an uncontrolled mountain finish in years. I guess there's suddenly a load of people realising they could win this race after all.

    Brian Smith going on about Caicedo getting caught when the gap is going out all the time.

    Lovely attack from Nibali there - place the echelon into the layby, then attack just as it ends and the following riders suddenly notice they're running out of road as the layby finishes.

    Inside of 3 days and the Giro is over and the Veteran's Giro has begun.

    These timings must be out, how has Nibali lost a minute to the lead?

    Oof Kruiswijk doesn't quite have it does he?
