  Not riders fault but team management . Making Gal ride the whole climb on front of best rider in the Giro and shock horror Vin smashes him.

  What was Decathlon team manager thinking telling rider on the front with Vin sitting on your wheel and let Vin then take stage. Any wonder they never win . Just playing into Visma hands. Crap tactics and lost the stage Visma must be laughing their socks off.

  So let me get this right. Jonas who is also a lightweight rider will no question beat the current leader no question because he is light and has never had true GC aspersions. As stated in the article: "Afonso Eulálio is on tremendous form, and will ride with motivation, but we have to be logical. A lightweight rider, who has never had real GC aspirations for stage-races since joining the World Tour and has no references for solid time trials, is simply not going to fare well in this effort." You realize that every single GC rider at one point is a guy who happens to be off and on in terms of form and then show up and win. And then keep winning. I don't know if he will win the TT or the Giro. But, to count him out because of your reasoning is just plain silly. Plus, you stated it as fact as well. That is not a fact

  Your fanboy love for Jonas is showing ! You keep denying it but we all know you are his #1 fanboy! Now have mommy take your keyboard away.

  I think you are right. He's holding back. It is extremely important for him to win the Giro. But is is equally important to do it in a way that doesn't compromize his chances in the tour. Quintanas record is 9 years old. The top ten on the stage all beat Quintanas record. Jonas is not peaking or showing his real strength yet. He doesn't have to.

  Good point. But the route design - with most mountains placed in the end of the Giro - doesn't allow for tapering in the last week of the Giro. And wouldn't tapering be placed closer to the tour in June? So far there has been a lot of zone 2 like intensity, which is ideal for building a base and endurance for the tour. Add some controlled intensity like Blockhaus yesterday and this is near perfect training for the tour. No teams seems interested in making this a hard Giro - and Visma doesn't have to make it hard to win. I think Visma are very happy with how things are playing out.
