94th Giro d'Italia May 7 - 29

[The Hitch]

It was exactly the same descent

Well its amazing that they can make that 5 minute descent so important, but I count that the descent finishes 1000m above from where the climb starts.

Its just a shame we dont really have a stage which finishes on a descent of a hc climb.

C'mon, it's at least 10 minutes, not 5

agreed

Its 5km and they go at about 80-100km per hour dont they so even with turns they should do it in 5.

He is the italian champion, and RCS gave him 150 in order to celebrate the 150th of Italian state.

Nice touch.

Pretty good feed too.
Don't know why I'm bothered as I'm recording it on tv.

Huge crowds in the square.

[The Hitch]

[jens_attacks]

Oh its in Italian

What did Savio say about Rujano?

it's a great comeback of the man who made a crazy giro finishing on the podium and winning the stage to sestrieres.

 

[Mellow Velo]

Oh its in Italian

What did Savio say about Rujano?

Huh?
What did you expect them to speak in Italy?

Eurosport don't cover this.

Actually, If we even follow a teampresentation (or record it) we can be sure that things can't go worse when it comes to beeing cycling addicted.

[DenisMenchov]

You can delete my posts but don`t won`t change the fact Contador used something illegal on the the Tour. Is this the way i can put it on this forum???

DenisMenchov: If you wish to discuss that topic, go to the Clinic. There are multiple threads on the topic there, or you can open a new one. This is "a doping discussion free forum."

Frank and Tschopp are the only ones that will finsih the race for BMC. Sorry to say it but if Beyer, Butler, Barton, Kristoff and Wyss finish the race I will be surprised. Zahner and Kohler may hold on. I see you finishing with no more than 4 riders.

I think Wyss will also finish but that is a fair comment.

 

[The Hitch]

No video of presentation? the pre presentation marching band and planes looked quite nice. I had to go though so a shame i missed it.

Oh gods, an Italian flag? This whole 150th anniversary nationalistic thing is going to be unbearable.
