Proper GC day today!

According to the Giro web coverage there are five DNS this morning. Amazingly, not one is in my fantasy team.

We have plenty of non-starters today

Olav Kooij (Team Visma | Lease a Bike), winner two days ago in Naples, who was struck down with a fever during the rest day, Max Kanter (Astana Qazaqstan), who is also ill, Ethan Vernon (Israel-Premier Tech) and Marius Mayrhofer (Tudor).

The stick man Valentin has the best name in the peloton. He couldn't believe his win in the last hundred metres.

Bollocks I no longer have 3 riders in the top 5 on GC.....takes a bit of fight out of the white jersey comp too, and a cool sounding name, which is principally why he made my squad!
