That'll take almost a whole climb to make back, Quintana has no chance

Can't help but see evans blowing big time in the third week

Ale-Jet was awesome.

 

[jsem94]

Petacchi in pink in a few days? Classic

 

[luckyboy]

Wow OPQS. Didn't expect that

 

[Geraint Too Fast]

Realistically, Ale Jet is the only guy who could take pink from Greenedge before the hills.

 

[Guybrush]

Nice Rigooooo

 

[Hugo87]

This is awesome for Uran.

 

[Jspear]

If Petachhi can get a couple of podiums in the sprints, he could take pink!

 

[GuyIncognito]

I love how the TV guys are completely ignoring Neri Sottoli and already announcing who is getting what jersey

 

[rainman]

What if Dan Martin just wanted to straighten his teeth.

I'm bumping this unbelievably moronic post

 

[JRanton]

Purito.

 

[Rollthedice]

This is awesome for Uran.

Too bad he recently sucks on the climbs. Nevertheless a very good start. Now looking back Movi did bad.

Yea, they told us they were sending it over to beIN spanish so they could show some English Premier League stuff. I don't think I even get that without subscribing to a Spanish language package which I have never considered since I don't speak the language. I really HATE beIN more by the minute!

Fully agree, if you are covering a live event stick with at and go late to the one which has actually yet to start...

It's quite fitting that a tough guy like Tuft gets to wear the pink jersey. Not many riders deserve more than him in my book.
Congrats!

OGE has Bling though. Ale could pull it off though, and would be fun to see.

 

[Afrank]

Not too bad by Astana.

 

[Vino attacks everyone]

Astana coming in with all 9

well, i think rigo was holding back and not showing too much...he will be flying in the mountains. And moviestar, bad luck on the weather (same with katusha), Nairo and Purito will have to be very aggressive to make up time.

Good time by Astana too.
These first stages will be entertaining,looks like a good fight for maglia rosa

Stage win and pink, Very nice birthday present.

 

[jsem94]

So it's Matthews vs Petacchi battle for pink over the next few days.

 

[Carols]

Anyone have a stream? beIN just dropped their coverage. And I pay for this type of abuse

Ain't that the truth They just dump us....

 

[Hugo87]

Congratulations to Orica and to Svein Tuft for being the first maglia rosa of 2014 Giro's.

A Canadian in pink is always fitting!
