Giro d'Italia 2010

1 minute between breakaway and peleton

20/20 = Glorified rounders.

There is nothing wrong with 20/20, if anything there should be more tournaments or 3-way series. The one day games are going to die in the coming years!

1 minute between breakaway and peleton
:( I was hoping for the break to gain a load of time and shake up the GC a little.

...No, there's still a 15min break.

VV, if you're watching the Eurosport feed, they were showing yesterday's stage just now :)

Tom what are you using to get updates? The Eurosport text updates don't update very often...

15 mins up with 70km to go. Take that Vino. Ha!

With several of the big teams having four riders in there, thats some breakaway.

I'm on holiday, watching Eurosport at home with a mug of tea! :)

I use Cycling News for text updates.

Hah, a Sky Soigneur caused one of their riders to fall off in the feed zone and it looked like a Caisse D'epargne car intentially drove over all the food!

Vinokourov has punctured.
Anyone else secretly pleased when they saw that?

Come on Richie!

I don't think many people are secret about their dislike for Vino. I bet David Harmon filled his boxers.

It kills me that I am in the office watching it on Eurosport's text updater thingy and not at home. The lead group are 13 minutes clear, interesting, very interesting.

Come on Wiggers...

Ooo, dodgy hairpin!

Wiggins will be in the top 10 if they manage to maintain this lead. And I imagine their legs shouldn't be too shot for tomorrow either. Given the lead group was so large, they should have been able to share the work effectively.

Sastre 3rd, Wiggins 4th

Epic, epic stage....

That's blown the GC WIDE open!

Porte will be in the pink (haw haw). This guy is only 23 and is leading the Giro...
Good news that Wiggins is back in the game too.

The Austrailians are phenomenal on the road at the moment. Chapeau!

An Australian triathlete. Couldn't be worse.

Loved Harmon's commentary.

"Caruso, Caruso Caruso, Caruso becomes the first Italian to win a stage at this Giro" etc..

Wait....what?

this is some race. in my opinion wiggins should go for it...he ain't going to beat schleck or contador in the tour.

Schleck did not look good in the ToC yesterday. Got dropped by the sprinter train on the climb at one stage!! :-S
