First day of Rolland Garros and it's going to play havoc with Eurosport's live coverage.
Girlie tennis match just starting a 2nd set, so eons of that before any cycling.

Rai with the first tentative live shots of the break.

So last year they wanted to finish on Alpe to dedicate to Pantani
They finished on Galibier to dedicate to Pantani.

Any MTF on Mortirolo will obviously be dedicated to Pantani, San Christina probably as well.

Yesterday we had Oropa dedicated to Pantani
Today Montecampione dedicated to Pantani.

Piancavolo MTF would of course be dedicated to Pantani.

Is it Monte Grappa that has all the corners named after previous Giro winners, one of which is Pantani?

Ventoux can be dedicated to Pantani.

Zoncolan(?) mentioned always as last ever climb done by Pantani.

When the Giro has a flat stage that goes through Cesena, its dedicated to Pantani.

So in 2018 will we have an entire Giro with just finishes dedicated to Pantani?

Is there anything except the last 20k that would be worth seeing?

everyone, stop it. Now.

There are plenty of threads in the clinic about the topic. Pick one of them.

That goes also for Hitch's post.

Dunno, could be done within 20 minutes barring a choke. Unless they choose to go to another match after this one...

They could dedicate some to Ricco. He's also a tragic figure and boy he could climb.

maybe it's obvious, but I'll tell you anyway... 99% of the stages "dedicated to Pantani" are just PR bull****.
They pick a stage finish and if it has any connection with Pantani they are happy to mention it.
Ofc this year is different, being 10 years after his death.

The time it takes to finish these clay court bore fests, you'll be lucky to get that if it goes to a 3rd set.

Rai live now.:)

Quintana's last day on antibiotics was yesterday.

Cunego in break I'd like to see him do well :)

Depends if your going to wheelsuck your mates or go on an attack. :)

Yeah, because wheelsucking for an hour and a half takes much longer than attacking for an hour and a half.
