The 2018 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Giro d'Italia stopped for its second rest day on the Adriatic coast on Monday, giving riders some downtime after ﷽the weekend's mountain s🌃tages.
Of course, the rest day is the great misnomer of a Grand Tour, and the riders still had to kit up and clip in, almos💛t everyone heading out on gentle rides to keep the legs ticking over.
The big names like maglia rosa 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Simon Yates (168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Mitchelton-Scott) and 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Tom Dumoulin (Sunweb) also had the extra task of meeting with the media, with rest days traditionally providing a chance for the main protagonists to sit down with thಌe press and discuss the race and their prospects in greater depth.
For the mechanics, soign꧟eurs, and other members of team staff, rest days can be just as busy as race days, ℱwith plenty of preparation to be done.
On top of the usual re🍌st day fare there were some more unusual sights this year as Quick-Step staff went out for a game of five-a-side football, Fabio Aru staged a press conference on his team bus, and Giulio Ciccone attended a memorial for the 29 people who died in the Rigopiano avalanche tragedy of last year.
Flick through the gallery above to see all the best photos f🏅rom the Giro's second rest day.
