Giro D'Italia - where can I watch it?

You should pick up a copy of this month's Cycle Sport magazine, max. There is a whole feature on the group of British riders (6 pros and 9 under-23s) who live in Quarrata.

Cool thanks i'll look out for the mag.

Man, that was boring. And I only watched the last 1k.

boring yes, but the riders have a right to protest, after yesterday's horrific accident.. well done Cav for a fine finish / hollow victory..

Whilst I can kinda understand the rider's protest for today's stage (complaints of tramlines in the road, parked cars, people on the course etc, I don't see that it's really got anything at all to do with yesterday's accident.

This is a grand tour for elite riders, there's going to be fast descents on windy roads - coming off on a corner / getting a blowout etc is part of the sport, surely?

Maybe they'd like inflatable barriers on every corner?

Mountain descents have been part of the sport since it's inception. Today's protest wasn't in direct response to yesterday's horrible accident, rather it was because of a few parked cars on the route. If the riders want a sanitised, clear route then the velodrome is a good place to start. If they want to ride the Giro, or the Tour, or Flanders, or Roubaix or any other major race then they have to accept that some risks will be involved.

Basically a good dose of HTFU is required for some of them.

Does anyone else think the Columbia-Highroad kit is an abomination, or is it just me?

(cue Schick with some comment like, "it's an abdomenation")

Worse than ISD's kit?

DMT is a powerful hallucinogen, but I wouldn't want it framing my cock.

I'm more worried about that cheeky fucker on the left there...

Er? It's a perfectly valid question that deserves serious consideration. Yes, you are an abomination. The Columbia-High Road kit is fine.

Ab Domination

^she appears to be made up of lots of different sized people :S

Frankensteinist.

Do you mean Frankenstein's monsterist?

Yes.

Is this some sort of oblique reference to the Etape Caledonia?

No, that would have just been tacky.

that cavendish bloke, He's got another stage win

Better win today.

Missed it today, apart from the ending on youtube, listening to the Italian commentators.
Tomorrow looks interesting... a time trial along the Cinque Terre. Not exactly wide, flat roads around there.

A few of the TT specialists aren't doing too well today, Wiggins is 3rd so far I think - not the most exciting race I ever seen though.
