Giro Women

Not watching much of it because Turner, but keeping my eye on the race and just now, the times from the TT. And no spoilers at this point, but wow! from the winner, that's impressive.

Saw the finale on Sporza yesterday, what a stage, with the pink jersey podium changing dynamically by the second in the lest third of the course.

More proof (as if any were needed) that there's nothing inherently more exciting about a men's race than a women's race, and that the current pricing out of most people from watching it is a massive own goal for cycling.

Yes, that was some ride by Demi Vollering. Left the Pink jersey Van der Breggen on the climb and crossed a 2 minute gap to the leaders on her own.
