    Davide Ballerini (QuickStep),
    Mikkel Frølich Honore (QuickStep),
    Pieter Serry (QuickStep),
    Tanel Kangert (EF Pro Cycling),

    Any way to access the GCN app through an xbox? Tv adds annoying plus phone screen needed for various other sports!

    Don't think the GCN app is available on consoles. The Eurosport player is though, probably not much use to you.

    Did GCN roll out the web player to everyone yet? Could try that with Edge on the Xbox perhaps.

    Do they Attack on the last day In the Giro or not like the TDF?

    Kind of yes in this case as tomorrow is a ITT but normally no if its a road/sprinter stage

    Well the final stage tomorrow is an individual time trial so the GC riders will give it 100%.

    A lot of years the final stage in the Giro is a stage that ends in Milan and there would be a similar approach to the TDF with no GC riders attacking each other.

    If there was 3 seconds lead, they’d absolutely attack on the last day (if not a TT)

    Wow looks like TGH is going to win the Giro, as things are going at the moment, Wilko out the back and Hindley TT's terribly. Currently TGH has 30 seconds in the bank for the TT, which is probably enough on its own.

    Hindley has to attack now. Only chance Sunweb have if winning is him putting minute(s) into Geoghegan Hart

    Agreed, Jai needs about a 30s buffer on TGH ahead of tomorrow.

    Hatch is starting to become hard to listen to, I’d nearly prefer Carlton at this stage. Hatch reminds me of Phil Liggot ;)
