You've got to be joking with only 5 weeks gone since the birth of their daughter.

Now THAT is a good point.

Celebs are a different breed though. The things they do 5 weeks after giving birth boggle the mind.

here's a short film where it's shown that Cav was helped by supporters to ascend the climbs


he should have been in London by now with his daughter instead of winning that stage tomorrow

 

[profff]

that is pretty usual in any stage race
probably you never been to the tour or the giro
that happens all the time in the back of the race, tifosi pushing the sprinters and the last

i can remember cipo climbing the mortirolo sparingly pedalling in the last kms

Chapeau to Cav for finishing that stage! Shows he respects the race and the jersey.

i realise it happens all the time but normally there is a race official with the important riders who are far behind who takes note if he can't prevent it so the rider in question can be punished with a sanction (extra time which means he was out)

Hi guys! Anyone remember why the route of this stage has changed? A great climb called 'Pitino-Madonnella' was originally designed for that stage and I'm curious why organizers decided to not use this wall.

Is that a problem?
