Giro d'Italia 2017 **spoilers**

[Adam4868]

I dont think Quintana isnt up to it ! Hes won plenty and i wouldnt write him off yet.Movistar are a great team to have your back.I think its more the" level up" of the others riders.Pinot looking good yesterday,again.Domoulin has more than proved himself,more often than not on his own.I really hope its his Giro,itd be hard to say hes not earned it.

I think this has been a cracking giro , I don't write Quintana off ,hes won plenty already, I think others are riding better, should be an interesting stage today.

I'm a big fan of Pinot. Good to see him get some time back and put him in a good place for the TT.

Quintana isn't looking strong enough. Not sure what game Nibali is playing either but also Dumoulin cracked yesterday! I'm not sure if it's because a lot of riders are as strong as each other or a lot are off their game but my word it's close at the top!

Still Dumoulin's to lose. Kind of happy he cracked a little after being so cocky in the the interviews.

I'm so sad I am not even opening the packets.

Or am I?

It's very tempting to open them to see if I get the elusive Davide Martinelli

 

[Pro Tour Punditry]

Oh ok, go on. Just one packet

I'll post a pic later when I am back home, just going out to get beer supplies in a minute. I have a double of the stage 18 route card if you want it (as in the pic above)

Well, time to see if it's fireworks or not...

I rode up Grappa once. Slower than these geezers though

The war memorial at the top is spectacular.

Mrs M is faffing, so here they are in all their blurry splendour
