Giro d'Italia 2014

Back end slips out ruining his line. When he regains control he's already too far gone. Such a tiny slip though, feck.

I reckon he was on the back brake as hard as he could get away with.

Evans had a bit of a moment on the narrow section.

He's okay, some cuts and bruises but nothing too serious.

Yeah this, looks like he could see it coming but was avoiding the front brake like the plague.
Glad to hear he is OK more-or-less.

He'd just crashed.

He's also won two stages this Giro. Is that enough form for you?

;-)

I say nothing.

Cuddle's TT position always looks fucked to me; bars too low and elbows a foot apart.

what the shit is up w/eurosport's giro highlights package? two nights in a row I've tuned in to catch jt at the scheduled time, and two nights it's not been on

Is Uran Uran related to Boutros Boutros Ghali?

their names are so nice, they called them twice

Welcome to the exciting world of Eurosport scheduling. Think of it as more of a vague idea of a plan, rather than a BBC type schedule.

Never bother with the series link on Eurosport. You'll inevitably end up with snooker

What pisses me off is they never try and Catch up on Eurosport. I once sat through filler chat because an event was cancelled, waiting for cycling once. All the time thinking this isnt live, it isnt happening, so they'll cancel the program and Catch schedual soon. But no.

The most epic saddle to bar drop for a TT bike. Looks fecking horrible. Uran uran was so much higher.

Kudos to Evans for smashing it for 3rd to reduce loses after that performance by Uran.

Not a bad Giro for the Aussies. Cadel is not done yet - I think he's poised for a good 3rd week, so long as he can hold with Quintana - I think Uran is just keeping the jersey warm for now.

Kelderman creeping into the top 5 at only 23 years of age. impressed.

Good TT to chake up the GC. Hope to see some exciting racing soon from Pozzovivo and Quintana to rectify their +2' 30" and +3' 30" deficits.

So last year's runner up, who was strong in the final week last year, and who has just stamped his authority all over this race, is keeping the jersey warm? There's lots of racing left but Uran is in the box seat right now.

Runner up despite initially setting out to work for Wiggins. Pretty impressive.

You forgot to add that Uran is a better climber than Evans anyway.. Cadel is really going to have to scrap everyday to stay in contention.

Yeah, but Cadel has his team.......................

OPQS had four riders in the top ten yesterday. I think they'll be strong enough.

I wasnt serious.

q.v. Sirhan Sirhan, Neville Neville and Garry Gary Beers

(though the last one is not really a birth-given name)

Richard Richard from Bottom.

Neville neville is piss funny. I would pay good Money to be a fly on the wall for that conversation.

'What shall we Call Our son dear?'
'Fuck it Call him Neville. Job done'

I wonder if Uran Uran carbloads with cous cous?
