2014 Giro d'Italia, Stage 4: Giovinazzo - Bari (112 Km)

[Eyeballs Out]

Not even raining

 

[BigMac]

Following this tendency, we will have a neutralized Milano-SanRemo next year.

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

Seriously what a waste of TV space

 

[trevim]

I'm watching the race now and I wonder what the hell is wrong. I usually have lot of respect for guys that ride hard day in day out but today I don't understand how bad are the weather conditions that they can't race.

 

[Eyeballs Out]

I reckon it's nothing to do with weather - it's a protest about crappy stage design

 

[Bernie's eyesore]

So have the riders now set a precedent so that any wet stages in future will be neutralised? If they can't race on a pan flat stage in the rain then what will happen when they start having to descend in the wet?

 

[Arredondo]

Head of the UCI in the Giro, Guy Dobbelaere, confirmed to Sporza that times will make up at 8 km to go (begin last lap), instead of the classic 3 k.

 

[Bye Bye Bicycle]

pathetic
farce
joke
shame

Good description of this thread.

 

[manafana]

young lad races for nico roche jr team in ireland, good rider, and not liked he touched or bothered kittel, iv seen photographers do far far worse to make money this kid just wanted a memory, kittels a legend i was lucky to meet him thru a car window.

 

[Geraint Too Fast]

I didn't know everybody was looking forward to this stage so much...

 

[Butterhead]

Lotto tweets they will evaluate the stage after round 2. Bunch of girls.

 

[b3n3v3nt3]

The conditions don't seem that bad...

Anyway, it's not like anything big would happen in today's stage.

 

[jsem94]

This is an abomination.

 

[the sceptic]

I didnt know it was possible to make this stage any more boring and pathetic.

I think grand tours should be cut down to 2 weeks, just get rid of all these horse**** stages already.

 

[Lupi33]

how annoying

not a great start to Giro

Dan Martin goes out now Kittel and now a $%@#ing neutralised stage

wish they could've decided a bit later as the weather looks ok in Bari

 

[Yingge]

There is a scheduled sprint at 4 laps to go, that should tell us if anyone is interested.

 

[l.Harm]

Pffff omg it's not even raining.

 

[T-Nielsen]

Come oooooooon already...

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

 

[Lupi33]

this is where Carlton Kirby would come into his own with his anecdotes to fill space

 

[infeXio]

My god this is sad

 

[Butterhead]

And now it wouldn´t surprise me at all they will do the sprint for the stage, which is twice as dangerous to do if the roads are slippery.

 

[trevim]

They should take the peloton of today's stage and the guys from LBL and give them a life ban for being boring beyond measure.

 

[shalgo]

Is it just me or do the roads look completely dry?

 

[Lupi33]

I wonder which senior's idea in the peloton it was to call it off
