    Back to business today and same old same old without a serious bump in sight never mind a mountain. pancake flat stage for the sprinters to ballistic

    G19_T10_Modena_alt_jpg-2.jpg
    Technical Overview:
    The second week starts with the first of two consecutive flat stages of which this is the worst one. From Ravenna to Modena there was definitely room to put a few hills, also considering that tomorrow is also flat, yesterday was a rest day and the stage as it is is only 147 km long. Disappointing. The route itself does not have much to note. Starting from Ravenna the riders will head straight west, passing very near Bologna, where they started 10 days ago. In the last 40 km the route departs from the shortest path between start and finish, making a small detour to visit the villages north of Modena, that were devastated by a flooding in 2014.

    I thought they were going to have a firecracker of a stage after the rest day, no wonder Rogliz emptied the tank
    Was the Lotto Soudal mechanic sacked yet for losing Campenaerts the TT?

    I'd also be questioning Campenaerts on how did he drop the chain

    My 5 year old walks by the TV and points out that everyone at the front of the peleton has white shoes, those are the fast shoes according to her ;)

    Just finished watching that, OUCH for Ackermann!

    Also, the little Aussie Lotto Soudal sprinter shall henceforth be known only as 'Calla Balloon'! :D

    Didn't think Demare had it in him to beat Viviani tbh, fair play to him. Just 2 days till the Giro begins now
