Not the first time I see Ineos riders disagreeing with each other today.. Cranky Wednesday.

Yip.. The race for position ahead of the gravel will be soon. ????

This was a "I don't feel like taking a turn" bluff.. He had something to eat and has seems fine now.

Ganna looks bored out of his mind.. Yes Pippo.. We all are.

20km to the first gravel.. Put the kettle on and get comfy.

Today might be Taco Wednesday ????

First Gravel section in about 13km..start waking up. Woops sorry 28km according to what they showed now.. As you were.

Dries de Bondt currently thinking he should've rather had stayed in bunch and not go in the break. Poor guy looks as if he is about to abandon... Doesn't look lekker at all..

Erm Ineos tactics today is to have the rivals fall asleep and then sneak attack while they are in lala land... Speaking of sneak attacks.. wonder if Nibali will go do something on the gravel. Also guys it's day after rest day.. Tejay.. Are you okay?

It was a darkish cloud.. One, one stupid cloud. ????

Nothing I have nothing .. I have lost all inspiration.. OOH BUT WAIT.. are those dark clouds I see????

Sigh the stupid wind is blowing from the stupid wrong direction.. As you were. ????

LOTTO Have 3 riders in the break.. And not one of them is Thomas de Beast.. Okes... ????

Ganna is thinking when he and Sagan are going to go in a break again.. Sorry Pippo.. Not this year you got to focus on keeping Bernal tucked in safely... Sad face follows.

Now that everyone had a laugh at Wiggins and Froome's expense there is full focus again.. Woops we gave them over 5min..focus okes.. Focus..

Break are not making holiday plans.. They are also not laughing at anything... They are missing out on the banter going on in my mind in the Peloton. Also purple really suits Sagan ????

Peloton are just chilling chatting away.. *Making holiday plans and laughing about Wiggins lack of fashion sense and Froome's wtaf playlist*

Okes.. Chill it was fast and then not... break has been let go.. Have your naps you are good.

That's seemed like a very short neutral zone. ????

We are climbing and the flag hasn't even dropped yet.. Ineos very very attentive Hold on to your loved ones, Shelter them it's a gonna be violent.

Oooh.. Lots of riders trying to get as close as possible to the front in anticipation of km0 It's gonna be a crazy start

Lol.. I'd say pee poor planning but I had kids so yeah, I will not say anything and just gooi a hey okes wakiwaki.. It is time.

Everybody ready?

its why i like the Giro so much.. it tough and every day is a race.

GC teams will let a big break go.. of course depending on who is in the break will determine if Bora let it go.. (points at intermediate sprint)
