2014 Giro d'Italia: Stage 3: Armagh - Dublin, 187km

[b3n3v3nt3]

That looks like a tough finish for a mass sprint
Just hope no one gets hurt on those turns, especially that last S.

Ben Swift for ftw.

Anything can happen in those last Km's.

I'm glad the Giro is passing my house today but this is basically just a direct route to the airport

 

[Arredondo]

So we have 5 leaders up front:

Tjallingi (strong Maarten!) (BEL), Rubiano (COL), Godoy (AND), Dockx (LBL) and Cecchinel (FNS)

Last time difference with the peloton was 3 min.

Tjallingi wants to keep his mountains jersey.

 

[Roderick]

Today The Legend will step up and take another 4th place

I know, and i like it. He's a fantastic rider.

 

[Midrider]

Yes he is, and tough as nails.

Rojas is not riding.

There is already a new legend in town, who goes by the name Sonny Colbrelli

I'm quite sure Ruffoni will do the sprint and not Colbrelli.

 

[Carols]

Sorry but this one looks like a snoozer.....will come back for the last 10km

 

[rainman]

I'm going to make it the last 50/60k's. There are quite a few exposed stretches and should be some fairly hefty crosswinds.

[SafeBet]

Stunning crowds.
Hats off to the Irish people, they're really the only good thing about Giro being here.

Kelderman down with Belletti.

 

[Rollthedice]

It doesn't matter in what country Giro is taking place, the TV coverage sucks. Again texhnical problems.

 

[Better Call Saul]

No crosswinds today either... Feeling abit ripped off w this 2 week grand tour!

 

[Oltean_RO]

Kelderman down with Belletti.

Are they fine? Is anyone hurt?

Kelderman looked fine. Belletti had troubles moving his elbow. I'm not sure he made it back to the peloton.

 

[spalco]

What a shame that the weather didn't work out better for the Giro in Norther Ireland/Ireland. The people there seem to be supporting the race very impressively.

To bad for Belletti. I think he had a chance today...

doesn't matter to us if it's lashing. We're well up for it. Let me tell u the bend and the surface water at 300m makes it a super sketchy finish

Yeah, but the tourism value probably isn't what the organisers hoped.
