Mongo has to admit that the Giro d'Italia this year has been highly entertaining so far. Most of the big name are still in it, except Mellow Johnny, and some of the young riders are starting to make statements of their own.
By the way, why has Mongo and everyone else fallen asleep on Columbia-Highroad? They have proven since day one that they are the most complete team in Italy. Kanstantsin Siutsou wins today's stage like a man...in a solo breakaway, and does his best Tommie Smith-John Carlos victory celebration.
With essentially a Criterium stage tomorrow, the positions on GC are unlikely to change before the rest day on Monday. These are the top ten after week one...
