By the way are we going to do a single thread of the entire Giro, or a daily thread. I found the single thread (ex for the classics) creates limited interaction on this forum, whereas the daily thread (or at least 3-4 per week that are instigated by key stages) create a lot more dynamic discussion. With the single thread, you just get a few hard core fans participating.
I mean we have Mt. Etna, Zoncolan, Jerusalem TT, Stage 16 ITT, Sestrieres/Bardonechia, and Cervina/Zermatt...that's the last climb of the Giro, 19 km to the summit finish with a few 12 percents...Froome could easily have Dumoulin on the ropes and Nibali should be attacking like a madman on his final chance. Aru better go attack like batshit on Zoncolan...that mountain is calling his and his chance to make up time on Dumoulin. Meanwhile Froome is going to be spinning in his 34x32 like he's riding on the Kenyan mountain bike team and not getting dropped.
I think minimally we need threads for each one of these.
