fucking amazing

WTAFIGO

I've seen a pic of Pog riding his bike carrying an ironic pink umbrella and Adam Hansen declaring "a unanimous rider vote" based off, let me just check, 23 responses to a Whatsapp post?

Prospect of a very spicy 120km stage then?

This happens seemingly every year at the Giro. You'd think by now they'd either move the race in the calendar or avoid these high stages?

RCS, the Giro organisers, would like to move the race back a week, but the UCI won't let them as then it will clash with the Dauphine and ASO don't like that.

The king of the mountains jersey comp must now be complicated.

Deleted because I was mixing things up.

Do we think they'll give it the full beans or do a protest non-race stage?

They are bike racers, they'll race.

Andy Hampstead. I love Sean Kelly.

why are a lot of the Giro riders not wearing gloves?

Because they are racing.

Alaphilippe is demonstrating the folly of that tradition right now.

Leg warmers and short sleeves. Is nothing sacred anymore?

Must be quite depressing looking over your shoulder with 1km to go and seeing Pog coming at you.

The kid still did brilliantly to hold on for second. And he scored a free pair of shades and a maglia rosa too.

Yeah - that was a nice touch.

Disappointed Pog didn’t have pink tights.

Someone said Pog is riding the Giro like a "ride with a pro" jolly with the pro fucking off back to the hotel early on the final climb

Can someone explain Movistar today?

Sanchez must be loving the new SRAM Red

Least interesting stage of the race so far, I thought. Curiously more interesting before they got on their bikes. Apart from Martinez and Thomas there were no changes in the top 15.

Jonas Vingegaard spotted in Mallorca training this week.

Weren't they riding for Rubio? ... Who then got dropped...

Feel for the lad in second when Movistar riding is the reason Pog caught you just before a stage win in the Giro at your first GT.
