That was a bit meh*, more sparklers than fireworks
*I only watched the last few kms but I was expecting to return to much raving about how wonderful the stage had been

I started watching just as they reached the foot of the final climb and it was totally gripping from there to the finish.

Well, I thought it was pretty exciting!
I don't normally watch the stages live but I cancelled my ride today because of heavy thunderstorms so I watched the last 85 kms or so. I got tired just watching it!
It is going to be a very close fight for the podium. I'd like Dumoulin to win.

I wouldn't be surprised if Quintana gets knocked off the podium all together tomorrow

I was thinking the same. Could end up with the current top four reversed.

Yes, fingers crossed ! But to be honest, they all look so knackered that I don't think the normal form book will apply tomorrow.

Dumplin was falling out the back of the second group at the end - but that might be because Jungels and Yates have a decent finish

Hirt has had quite an impressive Giro for someone from a pro-conti team. Where has he come from? Move to the big-time on for next season perhaps

I was having a wee ponder last night over who had "good Giro" - mostly based on my knowledge and expectations rather than anything else: the stand-outs for me are: Dumoulin, Hirt, Jungels, Gaviria, Landa, Zhupa, Bora-Hansgrohe
I reckon it's been a very good race.

I think its been the best giro for years, I hope gaviria goes from strength to strength
It's been a sensational race after a slow start. The organisers must be wetting themselves to have a final TT with such drama.
Yesterday's final climb was as good a fight as I remember seeing - I can't help wondering if that pillock, Marmion, was maybe watching the Tour of Belgium by mistake...
