Giro Jot del Giorno - 5/12/2014 - Rest Day

With the international starts for the Giro in recent years, the first rest day comes after only 3 days of racing, instead of the normal 6 or 7 stages. But it's not really a rest day for the teams when they spend a lot of their time occupied with the same kind of logistics they would normally deal with a Grand Start. For the Giro teams, it feels like they have to start the Grand Tour twice.
