Well, Pogacar didn't win. That was a bit unexpected, after losing out in a 3 way sprint. I get the feeling he might win Stage 2 though, before the sprinters get a chance.
A couple of GC riders lost a chunk of time, most notably Bardet, but for those who picked him, I still think he'll be a good chance for stage wins, even if he drops out of GC contention.
Good start to the race. No major crashes at least!

Yeah... Pity I was asleep by then!

Giro d'Italia Stage 2 Results:
The Pog gains time on everyone else, winning a stage which suits him more than anyone else. Nobody is surprised.
Giro d'Italia Stage 3 Results:
The bunch sprint stage that was almost not won by a sprinter, as previously mentioned attackers got away at the intermediate sprint, and a group of 3 (including Pog/Thomas) broke away with a few K's to go. It did end in a bunch sprint though, which Merlier won.
Giro d'Italia Stage 4 Results:
This one was a bit more of a traditional sprint stage, Girmay crashing out possibly helped the scoring of our riders, as there was one less sprint contender.
Giro d'Italia Stage 5 Results:
A breakaway held on here in another stage ideal for sprinters, Thomas gets Cofidis' first win of the season in May.
Giro d'Italia Stage 6 Results:
A rather boring day points wise, but not a boring stage, with the break holding on. Unfortunately Plapp couldn't take the surprise win, but still a great result for the Aussie. A stage perfect for Pog not won by Pog - I thought he would at least attack, but he was saving energy it seems...
Giro d'Italia Stage 7 Results:
Pogacar gaps the field in the ITT in a day that looks like it might determine the GC more than most.
Giro d'Italia Stage 8 Results:
Pogacar won what ended up being a mountain top bunch sprint, nullifying any attacks before attacking himself in the last 200m. With a big GC lead already, that's about all he needs to do.
Although not quite as clear a lead here as in the real Giro GC standings, overall leader Dravid currently wears the pink jersey in the Giro comp so far, the Merlier selection/non-selection being the main one that separates the leading pack.

Bonaparte is the first to lose a rider in the Giro so far, as Lutsenko was a DNS in stage 9.
Kooij over Merlier worked out this time. Thought there may be a sprint stage or two that Kooij could survive where some other sprinters may get dropped, he's one of the better sprinters in those hillier stages. So despite dropping a rider, Bonaparte likely leads right now.
