'Dale Posted May 26, 2014 Share The Passo Gavia is infamous and the Passo Stelvio is the literal high point of the race and a very challenging climb especially because its length induces fatigue. All this before the climb of Val Martello, 22.3km long at 6.4% but a veritable staircase with steep steps on the way making it ideal for attacks.

jcza Posted May 26, 2014 Share I'm no longer last!! Whew hoping for more improvement. Actually saw Paolini on telly, was wondering if he was really racing. Uran needs the rest, I get the feeling he will have a bad day before the Giro is over. I pick Quintana. Can Evans come back? Don't think so. Looking forward to tomorrow.

If Quintana could design his own week 3, it'll look like Giro 2014's version. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScottCM Posted May 26, 2014 Share I must admit that since Thursday i have been enjoying the Giro immensely. And yes i was one of those people who said that there is something lacking at this years Giro while 'Dale said it was still early days. I do agree as normal the two weeks was for the sprinters. This wasn't what made me feel despondent towards the Giro. I think it was about all the crashes, BMC not waiting on Stage 6. The lack of potential TDF winners in the peleton also had a part to play, but since the TT things have seriously heated up and i'm loving it.

tombeej Posted May 26, 2014 Share Diego Ulissi had a bit of a 'mare yesterday, coming home in 100th position and 19 minutes after Aru. Not sure what happened there. Lampre-Merida will have to re-assess their goals and perhaps look at the Maglia Azzura as a target. Current standings for the Mountains Jersey: 1. Julian Arredondo (Trek): 75 points2. Tim Wellens (Lotto): 573. Diego Ulissi (Lampre): 39 points All three will need to make it into the break that sticks on Tuesday. Big points on offer for the Gavia and the Stevio (this years Cima Coppi). Their finish line for Tuesday must be the Stelvio. Full taps to the top, then let the GC guys come past for the final climb. Will be an interesting race-within-a-race to watch out for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As much as i want Arredondo to take the KOM (BLue )Jersey, TRF are sacrificing his chances to try and secure Kiserlovski a Top 10 GC Finish (currently 9th).
