I love the scenery and commentating in the tour but the Giro is a more emotional race and more animated. Not sure if that’s due to team selection, parcours or a combination of both. The super steep climbs of the Giro make it more man versus man (If the teams can deliver their GC riders to the steep sections safely). 🙂 ---

I only caught the highlights. Does GCN race pass have a monthly subscription? I missed the deal they had for the year. ---

It’s GCN plus… I missed the deal as well, as I figured I’d be riding all summer - too busy to watch TV. I picked up the GCN+ subscription for the year at full price - but it’s still worth every penny. They DO have a monthly subscription fee as well… I don’t know the exact price - but i did see a figure of 9.00 US$/month. You get ad free coverage of EVERY race around - not just the big races. It’s amazing - especially when you are stuck indoors. They also have the most amazing documentaries and films to watch, I get my cycling fix without sweating. 😉 LOL ---

End of todays stage was fantastic. Well deserved win! 🙂 ---

The Giro is awesome this year, really enjoyed watching the race. It’s by far the most stages of a grand tour I’ve watched in years. ---

It’s been the classic dichotomy of GC contenders and stage win hopefuls. Massive climbs and nail biter sprints. All you could ask for and wall to wall coverage on GCN+. ---

It’s one of the best GT’s I’ve seen in years. Hoping Ganna rips the legs off everyone tomorrow 🙂 ---

Spoiler below > **Summary** > > Not only did he rip the legs off the others…he averaged 54km/h on a 30km time trial…with a puncture/bike change. 🤯 > Cavagna also impressive coming in 2nd and crashing… ---

A classic finish. Contesting the final TT and just enough nail biting over the GC ranking. ---

He averaged almost 54kmh with a flat and bike change, just mind boggling. > > Bernal was a very worthy winner and Caruso was also incredible. What a GT I just love this race.
