It was very close for green, but had some luck. Happy here. Tomorrow Giro. Every rider can choose one stage. No YC ambitions.

GIRO. We start tomorrow. First week a lot of climbing already and it will more or less stay like that. A true tour for climbers and with the TTT for a strong team as well. One flat sprint race and 2 or 3 hilly stages. And that's it.
MothersoI: young riders, not much hope for succes I fear.
Carapaz: probably the best team in this tour. Gheeraert for TTs. Feulliette for a hill ride. Brantenaar intermediate or sprint. Wautier and Mechitbayeva for GC and the climbing.
Levi: Petry as one of the favorites for GC? Rizas for an intermediate stage.
TGV: Prates for the polkadot and a stage? Cardoso for white?
Dustin: Cagan and Eymael as stage hunters. Engel for GC? Collet for YC?
Pollyjean: Ivaldi has to do it. Sgarzi, Matejek and Jenneart can all win stages with a bit more flat or hill.
Joachim: Is Donleavy ready to take this tour? Nasselli for a mountain stage. Jarding for an intermediate.
TCC: good old Beachell for the points. Maybe Amaro for YC?
Devils: Lebon, Auge, Schweitzer. Going for good rankings in GC? Bondu for YC?
Panteras: Hoping to see young Ferreira taking a mountain stage. But competition is tough. Rio and Dumeez can take some points.
Naspa: yesterday I sneakily outbid PollyJean for old VdGG's sprinter Cappelazzo. Sorry for that, but I concluded with this scheme that Tiago composed, I need 3 sprinters :-) Without injury that would be one stage. DeVidts for YC. And I hope to get a stage with Caso.
My favorites for the rankings: Polkadot: Prates (TGV), Ivaldi (POL), NAselli (JOA) Yellow/Green: Wautier (CAR), Petry (LEV), Engel (DUS) White: Collet (DUS), Bondu (DEV), DeVidts (NAS)

Damn. I thought I had put Caso at 100%. And then 2 flats too Congratz Polly. Sgarzi took his chance. Nice to see Rio (29, PAN) almost being better already.| Donleavy maybe favorite now for GC?

Definitely not my Giro: "Cappellazzo was injured during the last race. He will be out for 1 weeks." Also bad news for Levi. Petry is out.
PollyJean is playing his aces. Strategy seems: winning 3 stages this week and a few in the last week of this giro. Probably no GC, Ivaldi today. Congratz- again! Engel (DUS) and Schweitzer (DEV) fighting back for GC. Donleavy (JOA) and Brantenaar (CAR) for now the favorites.
VanSchoonbeek (MOI) taking pole position in YC.

Yes Polly is doing kind of Slayer's gameology and doing it well.

Cagan (DUS) did it. He has beaten Matejek (POL). However, Matejek has enough fitness left to go again next week. :-)
For GC: Donleavey had a hard day. Brantenaar and Feuillette are heading for podium. Schweitzer or Prates to complete it?
