This Giro has been incredible, but one small thing about Del Toro. You mentioned that he managed to stay up through Stage 14, but he actually did fall off his bike. Seems like when he had slowed to avoid the collision in front of him, someone bumped him from the back and knocked him off. I think knowing that makes the fact that he quickly got up and put in a solo effort to catch back onto the GC group all the more impressive. No idea whether he can survive the rest of the race, but he's certainly a very special rider!!

The dude is a star. No doubt about it.
I’m here for the footnotes. Love it.
Haven’t caught up on today’s stage yet but something tells me (aka the me headline on Ned’s substack post today) makes me think it’ll be a banger
