Giro Jot del Giorno - Rest Day

After 3 furious days of racing, we need more racing, right? Not this year. The teams needed an extra day because of the long transfer from Denmark to Italy, which will make the next rest day, 12 stages from now, seem like an eternity. Usually, a Grand Tour is like 3 regular Tours strung together, with a rest day occurring after about a week of racing. But coming up, the riders will have almost two weeks of racing before a break. This will be interesting to see how the teams deal with fatigue and injury. I predict more breakaways succeeding as the GC teams refuse to help the sprinter teams bring the escapers back.
