Giro 2011

Ha - I was trying to find that picture!
What was the deal with Cav getting a load of grief on that day. Did he pull a similar stunt?

Should have swapped for a replacement bike....

..and just neglect to remove it from the roof before clipping in.

I heard he's taken a job with a squeegee, cleaning cars' windscreens as they actually move through traffic!

Price: fiddy dorra.

Thats chicchi, hes in my fantasy team, and therefore above suspision.

Yeah, wrong guy....

lolz

Cav was accused of holding a car door handle, which is pretty common....

...it was the inside handle though, while he was sitting enjoying some quiche and a cup tea. Which is less common.

Yeah, wrong guy....

Feck me, look at the beast, towing that car up etna. Chapeau!

I demand more points.

The Italians really do know how to make an event special...

quits job, turns pro

Chicchi has taken a job as a squeegee?

Too good to be true. :)

I agree. [/must ask Wayne if we're getting Grupetto umbrellas]

There you go BMMF. She needs to change the colours slightly.

Mind you, BMMF is more likely to get one like this.

I have a fancy umbrella with a blue/green paisley print that's wind tunnel certified to 55+ mph.

Wow! That looks both fantastic and deadly. I really love descents, (fourteen and a half stone helps!) but I'd rather do that one on slightly fatter rubber than standard road tyres. I just bough a pair of Schwalbe Marathon Supremes in 32mm - they would be monster on that drop.

Just hoping everyone gets down ok, but I'm also hoping some daredevil puts some serious time into Contador on the descent too - that would spice things up.

Great link, mate.

Yikes!

I've been to Spilimbergo, in the heart of the Fuili region.. to visit the Trend mosiac / sheet terrazzo factory and the local art college, where students produced fine portraits using small pieces of stone, granite and marble quarried from the area. absolutely stunning, real artisan work.

also visited the Orsoni glass factory in the heart of Venice where the family stills produces using traditional methods by hand yellow and white gold leaf mosiacs.. http://www.orsoni.com/default.asp?pc=001008000000002

Just saw this at the top of the Steephill Giro page, made me smile!

A rap battle...?

smell my fingers.....

I most certainly will not

Robbie Hunter - the angriest man in the peleton.

you reckon they'll be changing bikes for the Crostis descent?

anyone know if LMNH will show tomorrows stage?

If so, when does it start?

Feck me, look at the beast, towing that car up etna. Chapeau!

i can't give you more points or rep.
