Giro D'Italia 2013

Why did so many crash at that bend in the home straight (err bend)?
Braking on a turn?
Wet road?

Looked like there was plenty of crap / oil / grease on the road from that storm they had earlier. They were going down like skittles.

leaning, they had not heeded scoble's advice

From what I fould see there were three initial falls in seperate spots on the turn. All on the white markings. Slippery when wet.

I tell you what, Evans is looking bloody good.
It seems like in his later years he's developed a hunger to snatch back that pink jersey he wore in in 2002. If he rides with the guts he showed back then I reckon he's in with a decent shout.
His team is there, he's not got the pressure of being a favourite, he's simmering nicely in tenth behind some slightly less competent TT'ers and climbers.
I predict a podium for Cuddles, and I'd love to see him there.

Oracle spoken

They're only offering a 5/2 return on an Evans podium, but a 23/1 on him winning. I'm not sure he has the gas to win, but a tenner on a podium? Be a little tickle to grow a float for the TdF!

Tomorrow has Cavendish written all over it, btw.

Yeah Cav rested up today

That doesn't bode well for our Jimmy. I hope he's getting plenty of fibre in his diet at the moment.

New Eurosport commentary is lame. I'd rather Kelly droned on by himself.

Agreed - they seem to hate each other. Kelly seems frustrated & a little bored.

And your face looks like?

The girls never notice, too busy checking out my tight buns and bulging sack.

You are Hamburglar AICMFP

You keep telling yourself that, sonshine.

Given that he spends about half his life in lycra, I'm sure Cadel can claim the same thing

And given he's got #prostyle buns of steel, so he can back that up too

Complete mayhem......

Can't work out who got stuck other than Wiggins? Looks like Ryder is up? Are they're slowing?

Yep they're easing off.

Wiggo 1 min off the back of the peleton and closing

Cav?

Yes.

It's* the* Giro d'Italia you blethering twerp.

Not you, Andy, of course.

Unless... Is it, Andy?

You are Hamburglar

coffee came out my nose.

Complete mayhem......

has the whole race been this ^ so far ?
seems like incident after incident followed by deluge followed by incident

and brad seems to be on the wrong end of them all ?

What happened today (except Cav winning) I missed it. Time gaps again?
