Giro d'Italia 2016 Rumours

[ice&fire]

Re: Re:

I don't know if someone already try this but i draw some routes for the stage 20 and i find one exactly 134 km long as reported in the rumors.
This is the profile.

so Cime de la Bonette 2772, instead of the Col? (2802)

Nope. Probably an error due to the coarse altimetry resolution of the map service on which the profile application is based. The Col is 2715 and the Cime is 2802. If I were RCS, being out of Italy, I would never go higher than Stelvio (2757).

Re: Re:

Can you watch the live streaming anywhere?

It will be live on RAI... but I don't have any links for now.

So.. geo restricted?

I have no sound, so if anybody says anything interesting/unexpected, please write it here

Even in Italian presentation you can't get rid off Kirby. Annoying sound bites with his cringy voice.

You just missed a Kirbygasm.

 

[WheelofGear]

Gilbert is there.

 

[Valv.Piti]

I have a hard time figuring if he is milf or not. Whats her name?

 

[WheelofGear]

They say something about that Landa is excepted to be Sky's captain for the 2016 Giro, but we already knew that.

 

[WheelofGear]

Cookson speaking Italian.

*trying to speak

 

[May0maniac]

Cookson on the stage right now, oh boy, his Italian is almost as great as Horner's Spanish

 

[Rollthedice]

Cookson. Maybe his son will say a few words on behalf of Sky.

 

[WheelofGear]

Basso, Alberto and Alejandro sitting next to each other. Nibali is also there.

 

[liamito]

Cookson, poor man

 

[Valv.Piti]

Hahahaha Cookson

 

[jens_attacks]

oh peter why didn't you get your netserk shirt....

 

[Valv.Piti]

Sagan, Contador, Nibali and Valv on the stage... ORGASM

 

[WheelofGear]

Do you guys think that Valverde could target the Giro next year? It looks well-balanced and good for him.

Stage 20 is murder, stage 14 actually looks nice. 10 likewise. I think it's a + that there's not many high-mountains, though Bonette is there to compensate. This route two years ago and Cadel would have won.

 

[May0maniac]

Swap stage 15 with stage 16 and we have a good Giro.

It's going to be a nervous race from stage 4 to stage 10 !
