That was a good trade (although I would still have preferred the Netherlands Antilles to still be an entity on it's own, including Olympic participation, small countries for the win )

Ah yeah, I forgot about the Anguilla thing. Still, especially in Francis' case I was disappointed to see a 'small' nation lose such a talented athlete to a 'big' nation.

Didn't Zharnel Hughes and Miguel Francis do the same?

Now let's hope the Brits won't steal him

47.80 WL for Kyron McMaster of the British Virgin Islands yesterday in Jamaica at the 400m hurdles

Surprising, I thought Mandy or Fränk would have won at least one stage as well

Nice sprint by a whole group of anti-sprinters

Ouch, nasty fall from Kangert.

Gaviria once again showing he is much more than just a sprinter, by getting into the lead group Definitely more a Sagan-kind of sprinter than a Kittel-kind of sprinter (more versatile, like Sagan, although probably with a faster top speed and a bit less strong in classic terrain).

Cannondale proving again to be the most useless team in the entire World Tour

WTF what a last laps

Martin down while in the lead, then Fenati down while in the lead, Antonelli down from 3rd place....this is a weird race

Turn 2-3 in Moto3 resulted in a crash in the 1st lap between Norrodin, Kornfeil, Dalla Porta and Suzuki. Riders ok, bikes were cleared and no need for a red flag or anything....until the field came back around one lap later and discovered there was still a little bit of oil, so this happened

His mistake was thinking he could gain some time on Dumoulin, now he's broken

It's the Dumoulin show, what the hell

Noooope

It's busy in Dumoulin's wheel

Dumoulin is having a hard time and so is Pinot.

Bye Bauke

Kruijswijk smells the 3rd week and suddenly he's getting better

Igor Anton's attacks

So, time for arguably the most boring stage of all and a huge slap in the face of Fausto Coppi and Marco Pantani. The Giro is officially honouring those two legends with today's stage (Coppi's birthplace as the town where they start and finish on Oropa where Pantani has his legendary run in 1999), but they're doing it in the worst possible way. Flat roads of nothing, more flat roads of nothing, more flat roads of even more nothing and then a climb where it's highly unlikely that the race will 'explode'. And all that in a weekend....congratulations Giro d'Italia course setters, you've made a complete fool out of yourself today.

Because Etna showed that mountains guarantee a spectacular stage

If you found this specific sprint of his boring, you better stop watching sprints at all

What a sprint Gaviria with his 4th and what an epic sprint it was by the young Colombian
