It looks like most of the GC contenders are watching each other and avoiding any time loss. The main thing is not to run down the reserves they need for the final week.”
Theres some money to be made on this Giro. Not convinced Quintana is at his best, such a short price but I am not even sure he will get on the podium. Evans will go close but lose time in the 3rd week, Uran maybe but in a new team, unproven at this, Ulissi is going well but will likely lose time in the mountains. Rolland may win stages but lose time in between.
There will be some outsiders on the podium, Kelderman looks good. Majka possibly.
Might even get the white and pink jersey 1,2,3s being the same.
