First rest day of the Giro d’Italia, what’s on your mind and what have you been watching? It doesn’t have to be Giro-related, Itzulia Women and Tour de Hongrie just wrapped up too. Heck, if you want to talk gravel or MTB, that’s cool, I hear Lucinda Brand is tearing it up on gravel, and the MTB World Cup is still going on in Brazil.
Yeah, I can’t even begrudge Pogi for his dominance, he’s out there gleefully riding his bike and mixing it up.
Quintana does not look good. Unless he’s got some unannounced illness or will settle in, I don’t have a lot of hope for his stage-hunting prospects. Plenty of competition there, I’d probably bet on one of the young guns over him at this point.
