Giro D'Italia 2013

No need to be all Hinault about it.

My prediction based on virtually nothing other than bias and misplaced loyalty is Sky will zoom up the mountains and Wiggles will crack Nibbles and be in the Magnum Rosé at the finish. Because at the end of the day it will be the end of the day for both.

Who?

Super-fantastic! thx, skinny.

Can't wait for Wiggles and Nibbles today!... that remindz me, say hai to your mums pls.

Ha. great advertisement for electronic shifting...
Someone forgot to charge Jackson Rodriguez's bike.

Was it him who crashed? Who was on the other side of the fence?

If not.. Campag.

Oh fuck, Sean's on about making callykillations again.

Drink!

Did a spectator just fall off a cliff trying to take a photo?

Best bit of the stage.

Betancour really shoulda celebrated 2nd again. Missed opportunity.

That would've been classic.

Will BW be playing domestique now?

Nah, his pockets are already full of his ego.

Good years and bad years, good races and bad races, good days and bad days are exactly what we want to see. That's how cycling used to be before the EPO era smoothed everything out in to a bland, flat, consistency.

This. I troll with suggestions of doping, spent too much time in the clinic for my sins (and have stopped, it's like watching a dog chase its tail) but always prepared to give the riders the benefit of the doubt because I recognise in cycling its easy to fall into partisan ways and simply accuse a winning rider you don't like of doing it (hence my blanket accusations). I like Nibali a lot, and Evans and they're serving up an epic Giro. If history shows we are being made fools of again then so be it, I do believe the truth will out, but until then I'll enjoy the racing.

With the occasional troll

Respect for Evans-he had no help from his team the entire stage and is still in the mix. Sky should buy him as another domestique for Uran or Froome or Porte or..

ftfy

Someone? I have a name you know.

Didn't somebody already make that joke?

Not disappointed . Epic day of racing.

Go Uran.

Well in Nibs.

Boo Bumface.

Suck it.

Where is Jimmy Fingers going to be eating his softshell? I can't wait to see this..

who cares - sports are much more fun to watch when you've got your house deposit sitting with the bookies

I know.

Personally, I reckon Wiggins is recovering from a bit of a virus.

He wouldn't have ripped out the class TT the other day and then faltered here.

He's just not as good a climber as the other GC contenders. He struggles when it's steep and struggles with pace changes. I wonder if he has considered something like track pursuiting...

Let's see that again.

What I'm getting at is that Wiggo is tall for a climber- he's a couple of cm taller than me, but his threshold power is ~450 watts and he's in the low 70kg bracket. So for him to not be performing on the climbs maybe does point to a virus/similar?

Well done Captain Pseudoscience. Chris Hoy is lighter than me and taller but rides really fast for a short amount of time when going in circles so he's probably Scottish.

Cadel is a hard bastard

This.

Basso with the cyst on his arse. Maybe he was meaning he didn't want Evans sucking his wheel all the way to the top of the Galibier on Sat...

Maybe Basso the cheating cunt overdid his gear and had to bail for fear of testing.
