[Bexon30]

ok I guess this is enough.
This will now be the official thread for the Giro, so I'll close the Field thread...
Thread open

Any members aware of how to watch the Giro in France on the 20-25th. Will it be on free to air tv or would I need to find a bar? Many thanks.
Edit: will find that bar regardless
Eshnar thanks.

Find a bar regardless of the Giro.

I've added the TV schedule on the third post

Tomorrow I'll add other things... Now I gotta go

 

[Dazed and Confused]

Very nice build up (all along), Eshnar.

Solid GC field.

 

[trevim]

I want Hitch to make stages previews again. I miss that

 

[SafeBet]

Great thread, in perfect Eshnar fashion.
I've been waiting for this for so long and now we're only two days from the start.
The most exciting part of the year is coming.

Any news about Moser?

 

[SafeBet]

Any news about Moser?

Last thing I heard on this forum is that he couldn't be selected because he wasn't on the original pre-selection shortlist but maybe Eshnar knows more.

 

[Ferminal]

THE CONTENDERS

Boots knows it is his.

 

[whittashau]

In the press-conference skinny-off it's pretty close between Nibali, Wiggins, and Scarponi. I think that's the thinnest i've ever seen Nibbles or Scarponi.

 

[kukiniloa]

Cyclingnews gets funny points for their:
"The Giro d'Italia countdown begins in 2h 57m 55s....54s...53s...52..."

 

[Ferminal]

It must be a pretty special countdown if they are counting down to it.

 

[spalco]

Will there be those awesome Gazzetta streams again or have they stopped doing that?

Only outside of Europe

 

[theyoungest]

I didn't know they were going to. They should have had a countdown to the countdown to the countdown.

 

[spalco]

That sucks, I'd rather use the reliable Gazzetta stream than some dodgy unofficial stream at work during the week, but what can you do...

 

[SafeBet]

I think Netserk suggested using an american proxy. That would do it.

 

[spalco]

Yeah, I'll find a way, but nothing beats simply going to the official Gazzetta website and watching it, especially like I said, at work.

 

[manafana]

Hoping I can catch some of the mid week action too. Sanchez looking bit strange in that photo. Really do think nibbles can snap the twig.
