Giro 2020 SPOILERS !!

Ganna wow...just watched the end of that stage now.Really wouldn't of expected that today ! Unbelievable climbing from him.Two stage wins allready.

Whilst it's good that his team withdrew him cycling really needs to get its house in order re Head Injury Assessments. You can't have people banging their heads, feeling dizzy (and thus having suffered some sort of brain injury) and being allowed to carry on riding their bike. Being dizzy and riding a bike don't make good bedfellows

He hit the ground and his head hard yesterday,the medics should have pulled him from the race...maybe not as bad looking,wobbly as Bardet was, but all the same shouldn't be taking any risks.

Should let them switch to a recumbent trike for a few days.

Sorry but I think this is an absurd comment. Men and women all do all kind of sports but in this case, it just adds a bit of glamour and is in no way derogatery to women.

I don’t have a problem with it either Gavroche. Just a bit of harmless glamour.

My understanding of the job these ladies do is that they work really hard behind the scenes doing all the sorting out of having the jerseys ready for each winner, along with other prizes, getting the winners in place on time, getting rid of them after each presentation and I think that the clothing they are wearing this year is more like a smart business suit rather than a skimpy dress, they don’t just stand there looking pretty.

Podium girls really....
It's fecking embarrassing,I sometimes watch cycling with a teenage daughter.Its a outdated concept and bollox to tradition.
Should be in a thread of its own as it's got little to do with this race for me.

Back to the race I'm going with Sagan for tommorows stage....he got to win sometime and this looks as good as any 😁

You forgot that Eurosport will start and end playback at different times to that shown in the EPG and they often don't send the correct schedule-modification signals (recently they've a spate of showing overlapping programmes in the schedule...), so unless you tell the recorder to add time to both ends, you often get half a recording of tennis or motor racing and miss the finish (or slightly less unlucky, the start)!

I’ve recorded these shows and it never catches the start!
Then, on average, you get 10 minutes of content and 5 minutes of adverts in each section. Dreadful ratio. Gotta love my FFWD button.

To redeem it they had Pippa York on the sofa and in commentary yesterday. Brilliant contributions.

That’s you two dinosaurs off my Christmas List, then.
Glad to see the majority of men in here have a bit more awareness/empathy.

And De Gendt is doing what he does best. Chasing down the break on his own.

Spat his dummy out in the end
Although even if he caught him he wasn't beating Ganna

I kind of hope he does, if only to stop the commentators going on about the 'gap' in his palmares!
Ullissi will fancy this one too

Bling looks like Sagan-lite these days...
So I suggest you put your shirt on him for today's stage

But then it was back to Wiggo yesterday and why did he have a beermat stuck to his jumper?

 

[Dave Davenport]

He is 6' 4" but even so, very impressive, they' should stand him next to Tom Pidcock in next year's team photo!
