Giro 2019 SPOILERS ! (provided by rich p)

Hope they fine Henao for chucking his Coke can in the bushes.

Gotta say that despite publicity from the UCI earlier this year on how they were going to be tough on litter, tough on the causes of litter, I've noticed a tremendous amount of bottle chucking on TV coverage of the Giro in particular, and generally not in areas packed with spectators and souvenir hunters.

In fact the reason I've noticed it was probably because of the publicity earlier this year which has made me look out for it.

I thought that all drinks containers are supposed to be biodegradable

All bidons have to be biodegradable, i seem to remember reading they are made from rice starch, as for henao chucking his coke can

He should get a Fine, along with his team.

How do you know there wasn't a recycling bin over the hedge and he was aiming for it ? Or maybe a kid shouted "oi henao give us your coke can,grazia !"
All of a sudden it's a good deed.

I've tried throwing things at other things while on my bike, normally some sort of rock at @Nomadski head. Bloody hard even at my speed, kudos to any pro rider that has mastered it at their speed.

What happened to Gaviria and de plus today's stage ? Roglic teamate..

 

[roadrash]

[Crackle]

Knee pain apparently

Longest stage tomorrow they said on Quest , looks like the weather has settled now so should be a good hard days riding ,

 

[brommers]

The second half of stage 10 is very lumpy and at 239km long should suit the classics-style riders - Valverde and Alaphilippe, etc. would have loved this stage.

Eurosport just said ... team lotto soudal just told them......final 3km to be neutralised today, GC times to be taken at 3km from the finish, but they haven't had it confirmed.

What's the reason for that, roadrage? Weather?

 

[roadrash]

@rich p they said due to difficult final 3km and risk of crashes

@rich p they said due to difficult final 3km and risk of crashes

They've also just said that moving the finish 3km - where there is already timing in place - back simply moves the danger, coming just after the bottom of a descent.

This seems to be the most boring weeks opening in recent years or is it just me?
