Giro 2019 SPOILERS ! (provided by rich p)

[yello]

Wet again. Not sure I'd fancy that course in those conditions. They're crawling around some of those corners.

 

[rich p]

It's doomed this race. Falls, abandons, pissing rain.
Doomed I tell ya....

 

[roadrash]

I think its rained at some point every day so far

I honestly cant believe that someone came up with this route and everyone concerned said feck me that's brilliant , lets do it.

The San Marino tourist board must have been rather pleased. Plenty of time to show off the place. Shame they couldn't control the weather, though.

Still, I prefer the Giro to the TdF.... something more raw, brutish even, about it.

Listen to you all...so negative,soak up the atmosphere.Roll on the fecking mountains !

Disaster for Yates

I assume anyone watching in the UK is getting the same coverage as me here in France.

Disaster for Yates

I'm sure he nearly arsed over in the wet (hence my comment above) I dunno if was out in the worst of the weather but maybe he was being cautious.

Surely the most boring Giro -so far -of recent times .......

He was very slow up the climb apparently which suggests he either miscalculated his effort on the flat or he just had a really bad day

 

[yello]

Conti giving it his all in atrocious conditions. Top marks.

It's doomed this race. Falls, abandons, pissing rain.
Doomed I tell ya....

 

[Adam4868]

Just back from weekend away so missed or not missed much ? I saw the TT highlights last night.Shocker for Yates ! I heard he crashed ? Surely must have been hurting to be that shite.Meanwhile Roglic looked fresh still.Can he last the three weeks his team ? I'm fancying Nibali to come good in the mountains now.Its got to get exiting soon.....

Felt a bit sorry for Campenaerts (sp?) So close to winning despite a major equipment SNAFU. But on the other hand he did have the best of the conditions.
