^Giacomo I had no idea. I have ridden many, miles through those hills. Come to think of it I really do need to figure out how to go back soon...

Somewhere in Tuscany. I used to be a bike tour guide in Umbria, Tuscany and Puglia. It was a long, long time ago...

Gents, this is the Giro thread, not Jules' crazy stories thread, which I believes either resides on Sprains, Strains & Broken Bones or the Sandbox thread.
So what is this about Dumoulin and saddle sores so bad he has to abandon the race?

If you want to delve into the awesomeness of living the dream, check out Cannondale's Nate Brown. He's been logging his (and roommate Joe dombrowski's) Giro accommodations on his Twitter account

OBVIOUS SPOILERS:
Today's last kilometer includes the kind of racing that you only see once every few years.

Did you see one of the six in the breakaway do a hand signal for through and off?

Speaking of Dombrowski, from when he got dropped on the flats, you will want to turn on the audio for this:
May 25, 2016 at 09:07 PM
Did we ever get word if he was actually dropped or if he was pulled back to help Uran?
Either way, I think Joe has ridden a pretty damn good race.

"It sounds stupid to make into the break on the climb and then get dropped on he flat but that's what happened," Dombrowski told Cyclingnews post-stage.
"There was a lot of jumping and everyone was taking each other off the back to make people pull. At one point a gap opened and I just couldn't close it. When I saw the break ride away from me and I thought: I'm an idiot."

There we go. Damn if that hasn't happened to me. Thanks.
