    Swifty anyone? If the skybots absolutely kill it going over those hills they'll surely drop Bouhanni and Vivi, but Swifty will get over the lumps fine.

    I wouldn't excatly call them skybots in this race, it must be the worst sky team ever. I agree with you Darksunglasses he must have a great chance, I'd say the same for Mezgec. Don't dismiss a break staying away after the carnage from yesterday.I is due to rain again at the finish so the peleton might take the day off, Ytting Bak and Hoogerland might have a chance out of the break.

    Who's leading the peloton today? Svein Tuft. He looked like he hit a landmine yesterday. Beast

    "He is riding his first Giro d'Italia and revealed that when he was born, his cycling-mad father wanted to name him after Dutch climber Peter Winnen, who was a Tour de France contender in the eighties and twice won on L'Alpe d'Huez.
    According to Gazzetta dello Sport, Anacona's father thought Winnen was called Winner after hearing his name over the radio and registered Winner as his son's name."
