it's raining now in the Turin area, but it'll be dry by tomorrow. I did a a race, 30 years ago, as an U16 and we went over the the first KOM, Berzano. nice climb, nice hairpins at the top

Perfectly happy to: does that normally happen with individual stages? But better to @ me or PM me rather than just put a note in the middle of a thread that I might not read, or could easily scan past.Shouldn't this thread be pinned by now?
Generally we have always had every stage thread pinned as the race was going on, with the exception of the lesser race thread.Perfectly happy to: does that normally happen with individual stages?

I don't think thomas will do well tomorrow. Too explosive and he is almost 38 years old. He must start his decline this season.
I like it. It looks like it might glow under black lights like in a club.New EF jerseys for the Giro
Horner really hadn't accomplished *** by this age.Valverde was still on the rise at this age.
So, we're all going to be replaced by cyclists?! Send in the SWAT team, & I bet they find lots of illicit drugs!Spare a thought for the people of Turin who brace themselves tonight for an infestation of military aged men. Nearly all unmarried, they are completely UNVETTED and have taken up any available accommodation in the city. Reports are coming in of a tented shanty town in the outskirts.
Look, I am not Sportist at all but I simply wasn't consulted. Nobody minds a SMALL number of cyclists but most of these are not genuine cyclists, more akin to soccer players. Dozens are known to have red cards in other jurisdictions but they tear them up on the journey here.
Police say they are aware of the situation and have brought Larry and the fella' with the moustache out of retirement. Both were given batons and told 'Be sensitive, in the name of feck.'

Alaphilippe looked good in Romandie, and a junior length stage may play into his hands as well nowadays. Wouldn't be too surprised if he wins today.Alaphilippe would have been a hot favorite for this stage until three years ago.
The ideal scenario is some huge breakaway going up the road with loads of contenders on an early stage, even today would be good. UAE have a strong team but, except Pogi, it is very much their B team. Their A team is going to the Tour. Will be good to see them put under some pressure throughout the race!Man..It's so low quality startlist wtf going to happen as UAE's got that meat grinder team. Well it's saved tv-time coming I guess, if Pogi is at pink before third week already, not going to watch shooting sitting ducks.
Only something dramatic saves this one, not hoping any crashes (then again todays first 40k already great potential for that). Deffo needs some bad timing mechanical at sidewind echelons to add some spice, well there's never any good windy days like that in Giro, no?
Novak and Bjerg at normal or fresh form are already power of three men each, Felix G and Majka power of two man each compared to all other teams except big four top tier teams, to begin with..The ideal scenario is some huge breakaway going up the road with loads of contenders on an early stage, even today would be good. UAE have a strong team but, except Pogi, it is very much their B team. Their A team is going to the Tour. Will be good to see them put under some pressure throughout the race!
UAE is full of strong roullers. No chance they will be stressed until stage 15. Laengen, Oliveira, Bjerg kill every single break when they want.The ideal scenario is some huge breakaway going up the road with loads of contenders on an early stage, even today would be good.
