Orica-Greenedge won the Stage 1 team time trial. Elia Viviani won Stage 2. Here’s what the Giro riders are twittering on about after the opening weekend’s action. Includes delicious beef pics!
3rd in 1st stage #Giro…good job of @Lotto_Soudal boys to keep me in position. The next sprint will be another chance to get a stage!

Everyone stop giving me a hard time about the bottle vest thing. It was my first time. I’ll have it mastered by Milan. Promise.

Close but not quite. Missing just one guy more in the final. Huge congrats to @eliaviviani. Typical madness in the final circuits.
