Giro d'Italia: Stage 2: Alba - Parma 244km

[Libertine Seguros]

I wish the Vuelta a Madrid stage had been televised.

 

[Ramira]

Sprint incoming, lets hope it won't be a simple train win by Cavendish.

 

[Cobblestoned]

No big crash now please !

That would be great.

 

[Tuarts]

Sopcast is down

 

[Mrs John Murphy]

Stages like this are the perfect advert as to why there should be a salary cap and a ban on race radios, and why no-needles should be enforce outside of races as well as in race.

 

[Mellow Velo]

Vorganov at least broke the monotony. He's at the back, looking a bit scuffed.
I'm surprised a few Columbians haven't taken the odd siesta and hit the deck.

 

[Tuarts]

Dodgy stuttering stream now. 4km to go!

 

[Jamsque]

The pack is strung all the way out and Petacchi is very well placed. Sky don't seem to be bothering with their usual super-early sprint train today.

 

[Publicus]

Getting feisty out there. Just saw a headbutt!

 

[Moondance]

Sigh...

Cav is going to crush the opposition.

 

[Ramira]

Seems there will be a Garmin train today, seems Cavendish is a bit back for now but I'm sure Renshaw will pilot him into position.

 

[Granville57]

C'mon Tyler!!!

 

[Ramira]

Petacchi coming on the side.

 

[Ramira]

Alejet wins it.

 

[superconfex]

fist waving cavo

 

[Moondance]

Wow... Petachi.

Cav angry though.

 

[Publicus]

AleJet shut the door on Cavendish a couple of times. He was all over the road

 

[goggalor]

Bellissimo ALE-JET!!!!!

 

[Ferminal]

Oooh Cav not happy.

 

[palmerq]

Petacchi trying to block people again

 

[spalco]

I think Cavendish is rightly complaining here.

 

[Libertine Seguros]

What's wrong, little Manx? Isn't it tradition that Ale-Jet wins the first sprint of the Giro?

 

[Hugo Koblet]

Wow Cav looks angry. Wonder what that was about? It seemed like a pretty clean sprint...

 

[Jamsque]

Cav left it just a little too late and got boxed in. I'm not sure Ale-Jet did much wrong, nice sprint from him and great lead-out from Hondo.

 

[luckyboy]

Ooh that was close
