Yes, this third week has been brilliant and sets up a knife-edge TT. But those Sardinian stages, then a rest day, then Etna which was a damp squib. What the fuck is a squib? Then two sprint stages, the race didn't get going until Blockhaus.

A squib is a small explosive, like we thought Quintana was. Now we realise he's just a small diesel

I'm not sure what people expect from Quintana. That was a powerful group of climbers in the GC, and he is leading because he has been consistently the best climber throughout. Take out the TT and he would be out of sight. His weakness is his time-trialling and he'll most likely lose this Giro because of it, but he's clearly the best climber in the race.
