don't pick up any caps that get thrown at you

Even non-Sunweb caps?

you never know...

Rolland's to lose now dis bonjour when he passes you!

I think the race is going to get smashed to pieces tomorrow right from the start. The profile reminds me a bit of stage 9 of the 2013 TDF.

I really hope he wins it. Go on Rolland.

Ha! French commentators going predictably mental-so funny

Banger. So deserved. What a great guy.

I went for a French Swiss 'Op Op Op' instead. Now waiting for the Maglia Rosa.

Now time to ride back to the apartment in Corvara over Pordoi and Campolongo.

FYI it's spelled 'Campagnolo'

He wins a stage on a day I decide to go out instead of watch! Fuck!

Good for him and Cannondale.

The Campolongo pass isn't.

The Campolongo twice in a day? Sounds familiar...

Just seen a clip where Tom says he thinks it was the gels after all as he can't eat bars on climbs like that, so had to take in more gels than normal

I have not read the book, on the to-do-list...

No, just one Campolongo. Today's Colle collection constituted the Valparelo/Falzarego, Fedeia, Pordoi and Campolongo. Route planning courtesy of @Cycliste.

Ooff. There's some tough ones there. Presumably straight up the Falzarego from the hotel? Did you do the Pantani line on @Cycliste half up the Fedeia? (He's alleged to have asked Roberto Conti, his teammate in the 98 Giro, when the Fedeia started when they almost half way up it).

I did 6 miles between Cambridge station and the office today, am very envious of your big day out.

Flecha crying after interviewing Rolland...fucking love the pair of them

Rolland finally rewarded - happy days! Felt like we've watched him suffer like a dog for 18 months, finally a so well deserved win.

So I managed to avoid all Giro coverage and results today- watching the catch up on Eurosport and one of the adverts in the break is for tomorrows stage where they ask "can Tom Dumoulin keep the pink jersey?".

Fantastic!

Agree with tommmm though, Flecha is a great asset to the coverage.

Yeah, just emailed eurosport to say get Ashley and JA back on hosting duty, Edwards can take a hop skip and jump out of there, get the enthusiam and love of cycling back
