Giro d'Italia Stage 1: Amsterdam ITT (8.4km)

[thrawn]

So far he's the best placed of the sprinters to take the MR on time bonuses

any time bonuses at any intermediate sprint points tomorrow?

Are you guys paying for the universal feed? I'm going with the flemish (sporza) feed right now, but tempted to pay just to support the sport. No, I don't understand much Flemish anymore...

Tyler farrar getting plenty of miles in on a mountain bike!

I reckon Millar will get this and a hopefully Vinokourov will fall off or hit something.

I'm just watching Universal on TV. Beats the feed.

Go Vino!!!1!

Yes.... At least that's how it's always been in the Giro. Haven't heard anything of a change to that.

If Bookwalter does win; I can only see one other day that BMC will want to be in the Maglia Rosa... the last day and Podium... they won't defend it.

I'm watching Universal free on TV. I would never pay for internet pay per view.

For the interntet: better to watch a flemish feed muted, and hear Eurosport english audio 7 seconds behind the images.

Anyone know who the two commentators are on Universal Sports?
I heard one guy referred to as GoGo?

Millar and Wiggins are being proclaimed as favourites, which means neither of them will win. Brits never win except as underdogs.

I think Vino will take it, Martinelli must have his super special secret sauce simmering nicely by now.

Is Frankie Andrieu? one of them?

 

[powderpuff]

It's not the riders, it's the fans attitude to its competition that make me care less about their favourites.

 

[knewcleardaze]

It doesn't sound like him. Maybe I'll have a look at Wiki.

I'm watching it on tv. Was tempted to get it online as well, but I don't think I can access the feed at the office so it would be a waste of dollars.

Brits are chokers. No new news there!

Tell that to your track team.

This coming from a fan of a certain Australian cyclist who can count the number 0 amongst his passel of Grand Tour firsts?

Hope that statement doesn't come back to haunt you, around stages 19 and 20.

Walked right into that one acf

 

[Francois the Postman]

Still ****ed that Vacansoleil isn't here. Just for the record.

 

[knewcleardaze]

I'm guessing GoGo is Todd Gogulski.

Wiggo has his GAME FACE ON.
