Giro d'Italia 2014

That pelmet was also wearing the world champion's jersey. Which makes him a total cockwad.

Good job Skully doesn't read this thread.

The Vuelta has put some new climb in with 3km @ 15% and a max of 28%.

28%!!!

Eh... Taking lessons from the Giro. The wrong ones.

How pretty!!

I swear he'd need 650c wheels if he went any smaller on the frame.

Hesjedal was 165th after the first stage and will end up in 9th. Is this a record for the largest move up the classification in a grand tour?

Ex doper makes up 3mins 26. Hard for me to get excited about TBH.

Great GIF of Wout Poels losing it here. Can't embed for some reason.

I like Poels 1000 times more now. Not quite up to Hinault's level of punching striking miners but still, pretty badass-I just want to know what the fan did to piss him off.

He just stood out AFAIK.

The lady in green has video!

Actually she probably hasn't. She didn't pan.

nah, he must have done something to warrant that-maybe not to Poels but something...

The Europecar rider's arm is in the air so yeah. ^ that footage is all Eurosport showed live unfortunately.

apparently according to anonymous sources "He was running next to Majka waving a Polish flag, blocking Rolland who then gave him a smack on the head and than Poels snatched his glasses."

(cyclingnews forum anonymous sources that is...)

Good to see Rogers (Tinkoff) winning tOday's stage 20 up the mighty Zoncolan. If only he can continue the form ready to ride like he did today for El Pistolero.

Movistar tempted to send Nairo to the Tour after his relatively easy Giro triumph?

True cycling fans are others! Not a person like this.

– Bardiani

Team of the Giro for me. Here's Bongiorno getting some love today from real fans.

That's Pirazzi.

I should get a job with ITV.

No need for anonymous sources when the whole episode was live on Eurosport...

I can't remember it precisely but Rolland having that spectator get far too close, giving him a smack then Poels following up sounds about right.

fixed

Yeah because eyes in back of head.

That gif of Poels needs the deal with it glasses added
