If somebody wants great authentic italian commentary here you go Rai2:

Not really good picture but,better than listen ES or dutch (which has great commentators but I dont understand single word)

Pirazzi to kill them all with 1000 attacks!

Love the Rui Costa Merida comercial on Eurosport.

"more aerodynamics, more stiffness" haha

It really does make u laugh

 

[auscyclefan94]

Basso looks strong imo

 

[Butterhead]

Matthews drifting back

Hope you didnt expect him to be with the GC guys after this climb?

"more aerodynamics, more stiffness" haha

I hear the ladies dig his stiffness.

 

[Arredondo]

The Basso show starts in 5, 4, 3,....

 

[Ferminal]

Basso uber tranquillo!

 

[saneguy]

Movistar rocking it at the front now

 

[Armchair Cyclist]

Does the first over this climb become hot favourite for the Blue jersey at the end of the race?

 

[burning]

Rolland looks great

 

[Ferminal]

aliens lining up!

For the host broadcaster's sold-on English commentary, so he'll be on whoever picks it up. e.g. BBC Northern Ireland covered stages 1-3 and used the Kirby/Lloyd commentary.

I wondered about that,i have been using your extremely useful posts from the Eurosport commentary thread showing the commentators that are covering each race,i knew it was Hatch and not Kirby for the Giro from checking that.Auscyclefan just said the commentary had changed and i was trying to work out why it had.

Thanks Argyllflyer/Auscyclefan.

Rolland looking good

 

[Broth3r]

Hmm, Matthews must be blown, because he has climbed better than this in the last few days.

Still a trooper. *salute*

 

[Netserk]

Let's get the meme from last year up and running again.

Can Nairo save Movistar's Giro?

 

[Butterhead]

This is going to slow. Congrats with another gt win Ewans.

 

[Bushman]

Last 300-400m looks very hard. Good for Evans to really push the gap open with a sprint to the line.

If he is not dropped before.

 

[auscyclefan94]

If he is not dropped before.

Unlikely imo. The final Cat 1 is not hard enough imo. Quite rolling in sections.

 

[saneguy]

All over for Matthews..

 

[Broth3r]

 

[Arredondo]

Niemiec flat, so he has to chase back.

 

[jens_attacks]

Lol and we didn't even hit cippo

 

[Hugo87]

He looks like a stone, still a dream week for him.

Obviously no injuries for Quintana, despite the noises made in that direction.
