Giro d'Italia Stage 2: Amsterdam-Utrecht (209km)

[Mellow Velo]

Huge crash. Should normally wait. This isn't 2004.
The pace is off........

 

[Moondance]

Martin Kohler (BMC) out...

There goes Cadel's TTT hopes. They were already weak, but now they've only got 8 men to boot.

 

[Eyjafjallajokull]

Wiggins drafts the Garmin team car.....ironic.

 

[Eyjafjallajokull]

Well it seems they've eased off at the front as good sportsmanship.

Still, without these road furniture, cycling in the Netherlands, as a hobby, would be impossible, just like in other European countries, and lots of cyclists would get hurt or killed by cars.
So the 'road furniture' is good for something. Just not very suited for racing

The crowds are unbelievable!

The front of the peloton was bunched up like a sorority girl's panties. They waited.

Now that image will haunt me all day.

 

[Cobblestones]

It says 'Chasing Group" on the screen, but I read 'Crashing Group'.

Commentators said the volcano could affect the transfer day.

 

[Potomac]

Paul Voss thinks he's Spartacus.

 

[trompe le monde]

Go Paul Voss go! If he wins this then he will have been out front pretty much the entire day.

Do sorority girls own panties??

 

[Potomac]

The US commentators keep referring to BRAD wiggins

Flens blasts past him like he doesn't exist....

Flens passed him like he is nothing

 

[trompe le monde]

I missed that. I'm toggling between this and the stream.

 

[Moondance]

Flens passed him like he is nothing

Double post... INSTA-BAN

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

You are too fast Moondance.

 

[Cobblestones]

It's down to 15"

 

[Jamsque]

Have I mentioned how much I love this hip-hop Skoda ad. Because I do.

EstaTHE need to record a new one, though, they've been rocking the current one for at least two years now.

 

[Moondance]

You are too fast Moondance.

Funny, sprinting was always my least strong point.

 

[dgodave]

Penalize the moto for hanging on the the car!

 

[Kender]

Norwegian commentator, former pro atle pedersen just said that as a tourist, holland is a wonderful country for cycling, but racing, he hated it. And after all, there are more everyday cyclists than pros.

Kozontchouk falls, he already fell in the prologue. He seems to have the riding skills of Menchov
