Froome wins and now holds all 3 grand tour titles.
In typical Italian fashion the roads were shocking in Rome and the competitors insisted the stage was neutralised so only the sprinters will compete at the end.
Its always struck me how on other tours they go around in front of the race resurfacing roads in the run up and you clearly see billiard table like surfaces yet Italy just kind of doesn't give one and they race on whatever. Yesterday they were going up what looked like dirt tracks on the side of the mountains and I think it was last year one rider hit a bollard in the street which had no warnings about it presence.
How do they get away with it?
