What a finish - it looked like Roglic had blown up with 200m to go, but he came back and took 3s on Thomas.
Having said that, I cannot see Rogic beating Thomas in the TT tomorrow - but it is the final TT of a GT so anything can happen!

I'm expecting Derek Gee to finish second in the TT tomorrow

The final TT is going to be interesting tomorrow. So many additional factors outside of a traditional TT.
- The bike change
- The very narrow road and surface
- The steepness
- The lack of a support vehicle other than moto with single mechanic
All of these things means the Giro could be decided on some factor other than the athletic ability of the riders, hopefuly not!
I'll be happy if either Roglic or Thomas win. Both have had their share of bad luck in the past and deserve the win.

...in another day of riding rather than racing.
this giro will not be remembered well IMHO. letting breaks go for free, not contesting maglia rosa, sprinters hanging on with man group on Sasso or Valparola... it's a flashback from many years ago when they would ride tempo till the very last moment. I did watch few stages from the start and it was a complete waste of time racing-wise

The tarmac on the TT course looks brand new and fantastic. Can we schedule a few Giro stages on my local roads plz?

apparently aiming to try out this setup for ITT. looked like he had smaller rotors as well. my only question would be - why? can't they get his R5 light enough? or is it just a marketing stunt from Sram (although thanfully 1x setups haven't really catched on and hopefully never will)?

Cav all smiles and high fiving the crowd along the finish ramp of the TT. He'll be glad to have got through the mountains.

Haha when I first read your post I thought you were talking about the Tarmac SL8 for this stage. But no such luck.
