Giro 2019 SPOILERS ! (provided by rich p)

[mjr]

Thanks to whoever suggested upthread going to S4C to watch this. I was just about getting used to hearing the odd word I knew e.g. peloton while the rest was totally incomprehensible. I turn on earlier today hoping to catch more and I find some kinds singing and dancing. This is apparently called Y cystadlu o Steddfod yr Urdd dydd Mawrth.
And you lot are no good at letting the rest of us know whats going on. Maybe nothing of note has happened yet?

Yes, the daffodils at S4C have decided not to show any more live coverage except the final stage.

Makes a change from the daffodils at Eurosport moving start times around for the tennis.

Is there something in the job description of scheduler that says you have to be a daffodil to cycling fans?

 

[Crackle]

Carapaz and Landa bringing Nibali back, Yates coming up with Roglic hanging on grimly

Tony dropped. Vince and Hugh push on alone, picking through the remains of the breakaway.

 

[Crackle]

Gonna be a wet descent

 

[mjr]

Raining hard. Descent will be fraught.

 

[mjr]

Vince pushing 450W since his attack. Carapaz 380.

 

[mjr]

But Carapaz has recaptured Vince and Hugh?

 

[mjr]

Roglic 70s behind.

another fan takes a belly flop

Ciccone takes a jacket just before the summit, tries to put it up his jersey, fails, throws it away... huh?

 

[mjr]

another fan takes a belly flop

Drat. I was pouring coffee and missed it. I'm enjoying the high proportion of ponchos on show...

 

[mjr]

AStanza swanny surprised to find two riders together, has to chase to give the second a jacket.

 

[Crackle]

Ciccone is a whinging git

Ciccone is a whinging git

Excitable, isn't he!

And now Hirt seems to have stuck him on the front every time I look up.
