Hannah Walker is the absolute GOAT of pit punditry.

One wonders where this giro will go next?
The idea that Quickstep can support the little bastard in what looks like a series of proper mountain stages with summit finishes.

Will remco fold or fly
Will tao be the comeback kid
Can rog stay upright
Will the welsh win

Uran positive for Covid, will not start Tuesday's stage.

He won't be the last will he?
I'm putting £10 on Tao to win.

Will remco fold or fly !!!!!!!!

I couldn't imagine riding a TT whilst I had covid. Nuts.

He did look awful at the end of the TT today. And his time was shit.

So its now a tao v kuss rog and geraint tussle . Will remco now go to le tour

you'd have thought they'd have tried everything to keep him away from covid, but I guess that's a bit difficult now lockdowns/most people testing etc has finished

Maybe the helictoper pilot had covid

That's a shame really. There's a pic of all the Ineos team in a lift from last week which is what I was thinking of. There'll be more to come this week.

Bugger. Well - will make a very interesting next couple of weeks for whoever stays the course.

yup. Ganna's already out after a positive test isn't he? YOu'd have thought someone else in the team would have caught it.

Pinot is under the weather apparently . The lift shot was the team all laughing at geraint for being quiet.

And it was all going so well for my fantasy team...

Decided to go out on a limb and have Remco in your team? Bold.
In other news Van Avermaet won a race today. Which I think is genuinely nice.

I thought I would go for a wildcard choice. I'm all in for Paret-Peintre now.

I'm actually quite annoyed by this, I had every confidence that Ineos and Rog would make him crack him the high mountains but now all the Remco fans are going to say he would have won.

On the plus side, rampant Covid in the peloton gives Tao an advantage!

Is Tao immune to covid then?

No he's from the UK 😷

Yes I was looking forward to some high drama. However, Remco to the tour would also be excellent news. Could he extend his form to July with a mild Covid mid season break?

He won the Covid Giro, so he has some prior form.
