Some interesting choices. I think it will come down to who is in the early break. If its full of conti teams they will get reeled in by the GC riders near the top. If have some climbing specialists, could be interesting.

Possible GC contenders will not be allowed to get away. Hoping Daniel T will get in the break and take the points on the first climb but I'm not sure it will be enough to keep the jersey with double points available at the finish.

Yates must certainly be one of the favourites but I'm not sure Kruiswijk will get a chance again.

Drinking game for today:

 

Every time the commentators say that the race won't be won today, but can be lost, take a shot. Should be fun...

Giro says it will not shorten the stage if there is an eruption on Etna as it is not covered by the UCI's extreme weather protocol.

Will be interesting to see what Quintana do today..He is very short on race days so I have a feeling he will get stronger as the race go on.All part of the double strategy.Then again I think he has been training at home...

My pick will be Thomas,Zakarin and Yates, hope Kruizwink and Tommy can go well also.

Well the Hub will insist that it is CTCT's fault for starting a trend...
