 It's back! The first Grand Tour is just around the corner so time to get a thread going to discuss it! Highlights are on DMAX in the UK (channel 39 for Freeview-ers) |

Tadej Pogacar is riding the Giro this year (sounds like he's planning to contest the Giro and Tour in one season!) so he's odds-on favourite to win - his main contender will be Geraint Thomas who just missed out on winning last year, and then it'll be a complete free-for-all for any remaining podium spots!

We kick off tomorrow - quite a hilly day so expecting some action from the get go!

I might watch this, the scenery will be good and I really want to go the Dolomites/Alps one day anyway!

Two days in and Pogacar already has a sizeable lead! If he stays upright you do wonder if there's anyone who'll be able to even come close.

Two pretty interesting sprint days the last few days, both with people attacking in the last few kilometres! A shame to see Girmay crash out though, was hoping he might be able to win a few stages
 Pogacar still in pink.

And a sprint day spoiled by the breakaway today! Nice to see Benjamin Thomas get the win there, the first for Cofidis this year.

A second breakaway win in a row! Well done to Sanchez for the biggest win of his career so far. And a stable Top 10 on a day where there really could've been gaps (those off-road sections are crazy), the time trial tommorrow will definitely shake things up though!

Pogacar takes the Pink Jersey into the first rest day very comfortably after taking two minutes out of everyone in the Time Trial and then winning the next dat as well! Kooij got his first win in the sprint yesterday.

Julian Alaphilippe winning yesterday was great to see, especially after all the scrutiny he's been under recently. GC remains as it was.

Pogacar took 3 minutes out of everyone yesterday - completely dominating the race.
