Heard a fractured skull?

Given pippo, not sure if serious or pippo.

But pippo is the coolest.

he always does well in the senza maglia group that's for sure

Belgian newspaper Het Nieuwsblad: Stig Broeckx had 2 operations today to relieve the pressure on his brain, still in a coma. Doctors do not want to make any predictions atthe moment

That is just such terrible luck. :(

It sounds very, very bad.

thats a great photo!

Apparently getting the basics right for a stage race is quite hard in Ukraine, wow

To be frank, what else were they expecting? The country is basically at war with Russia, and is suffering economically because of this. Are teams so desperate for UCI points that they needed to race there?

PCS are really getting on my nerves with their shitty tweets.

removed, probably? I guess more people are annoyed

Yes. It was a lady in a tight ' tour de france' t shirt with nipples showing.

The guy that runs/owns pcs does seem to be a fucking idiot. Not the first time he's used the pcs account to post shit.

aha. indeed, for a statistics guy, he seems to push an awful lot of personal opinions through his social media channels.

about the lady in the t-shirt, I think he is in an anti-sexist mood atm, also shaming the Giro for the pink/white/red/blue jersey-showgirls that parade around the finish line

No, he posted his photo. Then when people said don't post that you sexist fool. He posted the giro photo and said, hey guys, the giro do it, so I want to be cool too and it's ok for me too.

He's an idiot.

thanks for the insight

As team selections go, Sky's Dauphine one looks pretty punchy.

Looking forward to the Dauphine. Last years was excellent.

The Americans haven't got this whole televising races thing dialled yet..
