    Almeida must own the longest piece of elastic in the peloton

    You can think the race hasn't really lit up without that. So far it's been a case of Carapaz, Hindley, Landa and Almeida not losing the race rather than anyone stamping their authority on it. They all seem evenly matched at the moment and on the three mountain top finishes, there has not been a single second between Carapaz, Hindley or Landa.

    He could easily win a future Giro that has a few more TT kms.

    I just think if you can't find something to enjoy in this race, it's maybe not the sport/format for you. And that's OK.

    The mountains looked stunning, but the GC battle seems to be largely about not losing rather than actively winning. I've been watching cycling for 25 years. Some races are great (and the Giro often is more so than the Tour as there is less of an incentive to ride conservatively). This one, however, hasn't been so far.

    I mean its hardly the 2003 Tour where the top 3 are close despite taking lumps out of each other all race. The top 3 are close because none of them has done anything.

    I wonder how Armstrong, Ullrich, Vinokourov and Hamilton kept on attacking so hard day after day.

    Today was a good race - not an all time great, not the most exciting in this Giro, but good fun to watch.
