Giro 2014 Stage 3 - Kittel too Swift for Swift

Marcel Kittel won again in Dublin on Sunday, ahead of Ben Swift and Elia Viviani.

If the Big German keeps winning like this, he's going to make my already marginal Blog very repetitive.  There was some good news from the day though, as 2nd and 3rd on the stage were in my team.

It's a rest day today.  The official explanation for the break in the action is to allow all the Giro circus to transfer back to Italy.  But I think we know the real reason that everyone wanted a day off after the finish in Dublin.

Tomorrow the Giro will be back in Italia, but I wouldn't be surprised to see a certain German cross the line first again.
