Obviously, the days of three split stages a Grand Tour are behind us.
But how many of you out there think the demands of the proposed
split-stage in the '06 Giro (10k uphill TT / 100k final-day cruise into
Milan) were too much?

IMO, not too much if done the day before a rest day with no transfers on
that day.

Doesn't sound too bad, for one day. For day 'last' in a GT, it's
probably a bit tougher. Not having ever done a 3 week GT, I don't know
that any of our opinions are valid.
Having said that, I think that it's probably just as much a function of
not letting them set a precedent for others to build on as it is a
concern over the difficulty of this particular day's split-stage.

Then it should be no problem, as it's followed by approx. 343 rest
days (before the next Giro stage).
