Sadly MAL isn‘t there any more. He is always the man for the epic shows - a pure showman.
Imagine MAL in the third week of Giro, standing somewhere at the side of the road high up in the Dolomites: shaking of anger, crying, and screaming because he cannot feel his fingers any more. „Oh no, I quit this f*cking bike race now and here. Where is the team car?!“…![]()

Nibali versus a load of young fellas. Sounds like myself and Greg battling it out in this forum.
We're a chance tonight mate. We're from the dodgy 90's era, and we're coming off a rest day.

Why the silence at the (late) start?
Stefano Martolini, the ds of Viris Vigevano, died 2 days ago when a rider crashed into him (he was standing at the side of the road) with around 400m to go at an Italian one day race.Why the silence at the (late) start?
I think you can do exercise on basically every stage, and especially a stage such as todays that has limitless opportunities with all the different sides of Mortirolo and the opportunity to go Padrio/Trivigno in the final. Sure, most likely the big guns will only attack with 10-15 km left, but its the first big mountain stage in this block of stages, so I wouldn't have expected much more.The number of better ways to mix it up than this stage is greater than the number of Colombians Ryo claimed to be better than Nibali.
