  1. Thank god they finally did something about the weather. It’s been really hard to watch all those riders getting chewed up by this race.
    🩷for all the riders🩷

  2. Thibaut. Winner of our hearts. You will be remembered and loved for your courage and guts. THAT is racing.

    You inspired so many young riders I know back in the days and still now.

    Keep pushing. Maybe there is another stage for you champ!!!

  3. I bet that many riders are rueing the day when the Tour of California as a spring racing option was removed from the pro racing calendar given the unpredictable weather and associated crashes and risk seen at Giro most years. No replacement for a grand tour but certainly a great option for pro teams looking to build their racing legs. Hopefully it will be back in near future.

  4. I like that they made them ride in torrential rain and get soaked before bussing them to the actual start. Gotta show people the ads on the barriers or something i guess.
