Nice one. Thanks! Am 8 hours ahead with not too amazing wifi but it seeems to be just about coping!

No worries, it can disconnect sometimes but overall its alright

Greipel is going to smash the stage sprint, I say

Loved that finish, took full advantage of the confusion and the technical course finish.

Fantastic, wasn't it? Great move.

My gut sank a bit when he sat up. Obviously he knows best, but the foreshortening from that angle adds a bit of drama.

Hell Yeah. What a finish. Surprised he sat up though, could of had a few seconds to hold onto the jersey for a few days. Mind you having your hands in the air with a raging peloton a moment behind you must be one hell of a feeling.

Great finish! Bit of chaos after that sharp turn just before the 3k mark

Also feared he celebrated too soon, but oh man! What a great moment for Bora Hansgrohe! I was laughing at the whole team's disbelief. Great start to the Giro.

How many people can say they sat up and grinned while the likes of Greipel is chasing behind?

Awesome finish. Eurosport just interviewed Jens Zemke (Bora's DS) and he genuinely had no idea what they were going to do in tomorrow's stage now they hold all three jerseys. One stage win was their dream.

That was so funny, I think that they can renegotiate the contracts with sponsors based on today alone.

Tough stage tomorrow, with a Cat 2 climb 45 kms from the finish, so if a couple of teams decide to race it, the group contesting the finish could be quite small.

Eurosport; British Cycling have a 20% off code at the mo. Will a subscription allow me to watch previous days racing/catch-up or just watch live Giro? Cheers

From what I can gather from their site I can only rewind 3 hrs or watch highlights if I miss the live broadcast?

Pöstlberger, ha! He wouldn't have thought he'd ever win a stage I think, great move. Smiles all around, so good.

Kruijswijk down 13 sec already :-/ caught behind the standstill

Quest on Freeview ch 37 for hour long highlight show every night at 10-11pm

Was the crash not within the last 3km?

Nope, 3.2 kms to go.

Get the strange feeling that if it was Nibs on the deck the rule would be extended. Shame, but guess it's unlikely to be decisive

You should be able to watch previous racing. It won't be instantly available though. Also be mindful that the Eurosport player is fan-fucking-tastic at spoilers with their highlights videos which include a thumbnail of the winner and video title containing the winners name, but you should be able to get the full broadcast for up to a week later.

Loved that, love a GT sprint stage, the peloton is such an animal and that image of Postlberger sitting up and stretching out his arms as the peloton rampages behind him...my god it was beautiful, and such a beautiful win (although I was secretly rooting for Greipel)

Sorry but Edwards can get tae fuck unless he stops reading as he fucking presents. Hayman was great, well articulated analysis, clearly not Australian, liked the dude at the side of the road.

Aside from Edwards excellent coverage, and no Kirby!

I really like the sound of this new up and coming GC hope Tejay Van Garderen I'm hearing about from the American cycling press

I imagine somewhere on NYCFGSS someone has made the same droll comment about the UK cycling press and Geraint Thomas.

I enjoyed the highlights on quest too. Liked that you got a proper build-up to the king of the mountains sections then skipped nicely to the sprint build up. Mad end to the stage. Still not sure how he managed it...
Can't take Edward seriously at the moment. Reminds me of the Olympics with Graham Bell, top British ski star, commentating on Fencing.

I love it when people win like Pöstlberger or Cummings.

Ewan beat Greipel in the sprint for second.
