Well, it seems like they're trying to make the race an alternative warm up for the Giro to make it more interesting.

Nibali is a massive favourite, but guys like Zoidl, Roson, Hirt and Hansen will be interesting to see.

Well, the last time Nibali was any good in a pre-GT stage race was like 4 years ago, so I have hope he can be beaten

2km to go, Jungels is preparing to park his bike on the Mur de Huy

Incredibly impressive ride by 20-year old David Gaudu, even attacking in the last meters, but Valverde was way, way, way too strong, as expected

Valverde wins on the Mur, no, say it aint so.  Who would have thought.  At 37 he just can't lose a race, such a prolific career

Cyclists falling like dominos in Zadar.

 

Terrible looking fall for Modolo.

 

EDIT: Looks like Modolo is back on the bike.
