Giro D'Italia 2013

Pussies

well, Weening and some other guys decided to go anyway, to be chased up the mountain

I am quite enjoying watching the coverage in Italian. even with my limited conversational grasp of the language it's still better than the main guy on Euro sport.

Definitely agree. Even though I have the subscription for Eurosport, I always watch cycling from Rai if possible.

I was mostly joking, but I'd prefer cold, clear and dry conditions than cold and driving rain. Sub zero temps at the top of the climbs, but reason enough to neutralise the stage? Not sure what Weening is up to, whether it's KOM points or what

Sounds like the DSs aren't having it and the racing has started Proper I hope. Conditions look great

at least Gesink is trying to make up for the chunk of time he lost yesterday, hope he can fight his way back into the top 10

woops, there's Henao jumping from the front of the peloton, Uran probably to follow in a bit

henao's form looks to be picking up a bit-lucky for Uran.

Hope he can bridge across and force His Nibs on the defensive.

Now we got some bike racing

yep, Visconti is going really well

ooof, snowing at the top!

ha. Weening having a right hissy fit.

Galibier looks grim

this is going to be epic, hope the pictures get through!

Visconti's a beast for holding out that long but there's no way he'll make it. Weening's bullied Pirazzi into helping out so hissy fit must work. Y u no halp?

What are the Blanco riders attacking for?

My stream just went, anyone got a good one?

Declan reckoned Gesink had been mopped up, we never got confirmation tho.

cheers!

5.5 kms to go, Visconti has a minute on Rabottini and 2.5 mins to the main group. I reckon he can do this.

I'm not convinced but would love it to be the case.

looks like Visconti could sneak it... well in that man. weather looks miserable.
