Giro D'Italia 2013

Checking out Scarface quotes that Michelle will be responding with later

• What's this with the Colombians?- What does it matter? He says "Colombians," and you make these eyes...
  
  

I don't like fucking Colombians! Okay?

We'll be cutting out the Colombians. Know what that means? That means we have to go to war with them. We cut out the Colombians, we take risks on both sides.

Has she not sputtered her righteous indignation yet? I am disappoint

Robert Millar pulls no punches as usual

Some of those things he said about Sky were mean :( Why would you post that here? Just to hurt our feelings?

they really need to ditch those black socks

The ironic thing about Sky's team is in Wiggins they have a world class TTer that can climb ok, and in Uran a world class climber that can TT a little, which means their teeth are pulled a little, given Nibbles and Cuddles relative abilities.

But hopefully we'll see some bad days from the other GC contenders and some drama in the coming weeks. In a straight fight between Nibbles and Cuddles, as it may turn out to be, I'd give Nibbles the edge simply because BMC have so far been nowhere in support of their man. That said if anyone can, Cadel can.

Also after the heart palpitation-giving stage yesterday, I may follow some tickers today to spare myself the anxiety

what's bertie up to these days? not at the giro, not at TOC...

Training I think. He's taken a bit of time off racing as he was a bit burnt out (apparently). Gearing up for Le Tour.

Could be a tough day for Astana, with a big break with representatives from most other teams. Best placed in the break on GC is Saxo's Petrov at 13 minutes.

Sky putting someone in a break? What ever next.

Positif

Sylvain Georges of AG2R binned for doping.

^ repost.

The Frenchies get popped for crap dope don't they?

Come on boys, take some real risks.

Now you're talking Jim lad.

transfusing?

I did nearly put inverted commas around 'training'.

(from gifs thread)

Froome not at Giro or California either, so I guess he is transfusing as well.

new fav gif.

^^most likely

If Michelle Cound lets him.

I thought he had been cured of his problem with blood sucking parasites, but now I understand he is still with Michelle Cound.

Baboom-tsk

Watching the descent now...many of them are leaning into the turns? Seems unsafe.
