    +1.
    Was looking good in good enough form in the classics and hopefully he'll be prominant enough (albeit as a domestique)

    I am sure there will be a couple of days where he'll get the chance to get up the road.... He was away a few times in the Vuelta last year....

    But great to see an Irishman in the Giro again !

    Deignan has been looking good so far this year and it appears that he's being groomed as one of Sastre's lieutenants for the mountains. I hope he has a good Giro. He's had poor luck with injuries etc so far in his career, so it would be a great boost for him.

    Philip is a great rider and a nice man. A stage would be just brilliant for Irish cycling. I remember racing against Philip when he was junior, there was a race in Naas which Philip won, he had traveled from and to Letterkenny by bus. Dedication.
