Giro 2011

those hairpins are very narrow.. eek

superb riding by pirazzi.. bart de clerq though.. knew he had it right??

Nice solo victory, and very close at the end.

If the stage had been a metre longer, De Clerq would have lost that.

He won it by a whisker.

Looks like a stunning climb.

I think I'd like to ride that one day.

Shit missed it today. Anyone know of any good (english) highlights shows?

dire di no a Inglese, senor

There is an American YouTube channel that does a 5 minute round up.
It will appear on this page when it is released, probably a couple of hours.

It's not very good though.

I might be able to cope if there was a highlights show in Malay, but sadly my google translate skills aren't that quick with italian!

ooof just watched, another 30 cm and... well.

just watched highlights and jeebus, they climb faster than I could sprint-Clerque was sooo close to going to bed in tears-Scarponi took 25 seconds back in less than 500m and ended up half a wheel out. Brilliant stuff ;)

Great finish! Very, very lucky win. Phew!

Anyone going to LMNHs to watch today?

^may do for the last hour.

My local deli sells bottles of ESTATHE and it's really fucking sugary. Sponsor correct viewing of stage 8 9 8 commencing now

Lazy bunch.. tut tut

Lazy bunch.. tut tut
