2020 Giro

Rumours of a fractured hip.

Confirmed

Honestly I think it was more that he couldn't get himself into a good position until too late.

Yeah it was fairly strung out and single file due to that corner at the end and Scotson riding off the front didnt help the sprinters.

WTF???

Giro cyclist injured in accident caused by low-flying helicopter

Riders' bad luck continues at the Giro D'Italia as a low-flying helicopter blows a barrier onto the road causing a freak crash, forcing the withdrawal of Italy's Luca Wackermann.

Big day for the GC. Was Yates just having a bad day on Etna? We'll find out on the last climb. Kruijswijk, Fuglsang, Nibali, Almeida and Majka are the others to watch.

Backing Simon in.

There's only been 1 Roman who's worn the Maglia Rosa? Damn, never knew that. That's amazing

Big day for the GC

Last one until Sunday by the looks of the stage profiles

It's just nice to have it a mix and match rather than basically flat for a week and then do mountains.

Thomas pulled out. Ineos in a shambles.

Between this, Lopez, Vlasov, it’s been a weird start. Pretty action packed but pretty disappointing.

Just finished stage 3, so a little behind.

Should be able to catch up by the rest day hopefully.

With Nibali being close to best descender in the race I can't see anyone attacking on the climb. None of the teams seem too interested in wasting any energy at the moment. Debating whether watching the VandePoel V Ala show at Brabantse will be the better option.

Ganna looks like a giant on his roadie.

 

[drd23]

Is it raining or are they just riding through a cloud?

Also, this is impressive by Ganna

Looks thick for someone who is supposed to be 196cm and only 78kg

Yates dropped on a mountain again

 

[eth-dog]

Some ride from Ganna. Commentators were consistently writing him off

 

[eth-dog]

Yates back on.

 

[eth-dog]

Hmm. Nibali still for me.

 

[eth-dog]

Sagan vs Matthews vs Ulissi again tonight you'd think if Matthews actually gets in position

 

[eth-dog]

Surely Bora go to the front soon. Surely?

 

[eth-dog]

I love that the Giro have so many pointless classifications.

 

[eth-dog]

Got mentioned in the coverage. Have been mentioned in all three Grand Tours now. I was the guy that tweeted about the Ochre Jersey

 

[eth-dog]

Finally Bora go to the front.

Good sprint from Demare. Used to think he was overrated as hell but he's riding pretty well this season.

Matthews 2nd, at least he was in a good position this time. Sagan in 8th...

 

[Orange Agent]

Was a pretty powerful finish from Demare. Think I might skip tonight, profile and map looks pretty uninspiring.

Ah, but you forgot about the crosswinds.
