Yes.... well.

Its my fantasy team's curse

That attack by Affini was great, just snuck off the front, so glad he held on for 2nd

As a kid I always seemed to crash on my birthday. I assume it's something to do with excitement (and/or excess sugary treats)

To revive commentary chat, i've said similar about Blythe and Kelly - Blythe seems like good craic and kelly seems to respond well to him. I enjoyed him and Orla asking him about Roche. Kelly is a a (obviously) understated guy who doesn't put his neck to when he doesn't need to but I'd like to see more of him. Like hatch has said a few times Kelly called Bettiol winning Flanders, but on air he's so cagey about calling anything. So it is there.

I like Blythe a lot in commentary, I think he makes everyone better

I love a late flyer like that.

Sounds like a good idea to only watch the last 4k though.

Is he in the deleted scenes?

I still think about Gaviria at Milan San Remo first time when he was virtually guaranteed to win the sprint

I was hoping he'd make it as they came out of the bend. Nizzolo worked hard for that

Definitely. Not even a crash into one of those huge drainage ditches that are common in the Po Valley to entertain us.

I see Orla is in on the whole ‘dressing like a child’ thing now.

Again, why is Lloydy always wearing GCN merch? No one else is.

He's one of those people who is so tight he only wears freebies from his employer? I've worked with a few guys like that. One used to volunteer to do a trade show every year, because that would give him another year's worth of polo shirts.

They pay his wages?

I'm pretty sure he's got a stake.

And you think they could pay Adam enough to get some new jeans.

this is me

why is lloydy the only one that wears socks

I wore solely FMCG branded t shirts (Rubicon, Monster Munch etc) for about two years when I worked in retail intel.

Rubicon t shirts?
I am interested.

Back on topic, but the Giro crossed the Rubicon last week. (It was close today).

Come come have you see Kelly’s ankles?

Get a job in retail intel. You too could try to live in London on less than £30k.

Try science publishing in 2007.
Or science in academia.
