pretty great stage in the Giro today. Was amazing watching the speed of these guys going up a gravel path that was 10 - 15% gradient for several kilometers. I look at them going up 10% and their cadence, and that is me on level ground.
Tomorrow starts the Tour of California. Wiggo has a development team there, BMC is bringing Rohan Dennis and a strong squad, Julain Alaphillipe is back for Etixx and Sagan is there for the Russian Mob's banker. Actually, there are 3 Slovaks for Astana. Wild and crazy guys. Several are touting Lawson Craddock, too. Some nice sprinters (Cav, Kristoff) and Kiel Reijnen and Alex Howes among the Americans.
