Thanks, i usually watch on eurosport or danish tv, not streams

Looks good for the Mountains classification for Rabottini. He is in the jersey and none of the close contenders are in the break.

 

[FellOff]

How about now.

For now I'm just pretending I don't care, playing some Irish folk on the banjo while the Giro is playing on the background, but I'm fully prepared in case I have to switch to playing blues.

Once there is blood in the water you'll all have what you want, and passo di giau will spill a little for sure.

Cavendish and 2 Sky riders setting the pace. Is that right?

Keep your friends close, but your enemies closer.

 

[Waterloo Sunrise]

sprint coming up maybe?

Nope, but rather them setting a pace that gives him an outside chance of reaching the bottom of the Duran in the peloton, than someone else getting giddy and dropping half the peloton already.

 

[Frosty]

sprint coming up maybe?

Sprint is after the Duran.

Does Seeldraeyers qualify for the young rider competition? He is nearing 26 so i guess not.

 

[Ryo Hazuki]

sprint coming up maybe?

there's 5 guys in front

 

[vcampbell]

sprint coming up maybe?

Looking at the profile, no, not really. Cavendish is going to be the next Szmyd.

Cav is a legend...he is always ready to suffer for his teammates . why are sky doing the chasing?
