Speaking of Fausto Coppi.
There are still lot of snow at the Passo Gavia with Cima Coppi, the highest point on the Giro next on Tuesday...
http://www.cyclingnews.com/news/authorities-working-to-clear-gavia-of-snow-ahead-of-giro-ditalia-queen-stage/

Local authorities are working against the clock to ensure that the Passo Gavia is open for business for the Giro d’Italia’s queen stage next Tuesday. Having seen heavy snowfall, the Gavia has been a concern for some weeks, and race organisers stated on Tuesday that there's a 60 per cent chance the roads can be cleared ahead of stage 16 from Lovere to Ponte di Legno.
At present, the race’s biggest climb is currently buried under snow, four metres at some points

The monument in honor of the Campionissimo Fausto Coppi .

Nice to see our Swedish contender Tobias Ludvigsson finish at 12th place today.
He was involved in the same crash on stage 4 as Tom Dumoulin who had to leave the Giro and Tobias lost much time in the GC then.

Giro Pinerolo-Ceresole Reale
1 Ilnur Zakarin Russia
Jan Pollanc always leads

Giro St.Vincent-Courmayeur
1 Richard Carapaz Equador also Maglia Rosa
Primoz Roglisc is glad not to be Maglia Rosa, he is second.

---

And Nibali is catching up and also Yates that I thought was to give up.
It's when you come to Verona the Maglia Rosa really counts:)

btw,
Today the Giro went to Courmayeur with some serious climbs. No climbing on the Monte Bianco though:)
However it's also now Mount Everest season and many people are queing to get to the top...

Giro Ivrea-Como
1 Dario Cataldo
Richard Carapaz alwas leads. Roglic falls in last descent and loses 41"to Nibali.

From the Giro to the Ice Hockey World Championship.
Finland first beat Sweden in the group play. (Bummer... Hehe)
Finland then beat Russia in the semi final:)
Now Finland won over Canada in the final!
Can only be compared to when the US won the Olympic final in Lake Placid 1980.
Hyvää Suomi!

General classification after stage 16, Lovere - Ponte di Legno with Passo Gavia absent, but a mist-enshrouded Passo del Mortirolo.
Carapaz still in Maglia Rosa, but Nibali is catching up where as Roglic drops.
1 Richard Carapaz (Ecu) Movistar Team 70:02:05
2 Vincenzo Nibali (Ita) Bahrain-Merida 0:01:47
3 Primoz Roglic (Slo) Team Jumbo-Visma 0:02:09

Giro Val di Sole-Anterselva/Rasun (home of Dorothea Wiever)
1 Nans Peters France
Richard Carapaz still leads

---

Ah, Dorothea:)
But now the Giro... No change in the top GC.
Will Nibali and Roglic come closer to Carapaz who gained some more seconds on his birthday? Only two mountain stages to go before the ITT in Verona...

My guess for the end result
1 Carapaz
2 Roglic
3 Nibali
4 Landa Meana
