Giro d'Italia 2013, 4th-26th May - [Spoilers]

I'm all Euro sported up now. Between that, ITV4 and Radio 5 extra, It's gonna be a great Summer!!

Right, so who's going to buy themselves a pair of Giro pink tyres?

That reminds me of the Pro Race Giro Limited edition tyres I once had. Green red and white. They looked ace on my Ribble in the same colours !

Giro Colours now though !!

A warning - up until a couple of weeks ago, the Eurosport Player app for phones and tablets worked really well but they killed it with a recent upgrade with a bug in it that they haven't fixed yet!

The version of the Player that runs in their website still works but the picture quality isn't as lovely as the app's was. I hope they fix it soon.

My tablet automatically downloaded an update for the Player app yesterday. The 'bonus' channels showing snooker and tennis are working, but British Eurosport 1/2 are not!

It is very frustrating because the technology worked before and is working now on channels that I am not interested in.

It must surely be a fairly straightforward problem (what did we change, where did we go wrong?) so why is it taking weeks to sort out, and why is the Eurosport Player support so bloody awful! (So many people are complaining about lack of support that I haven't bothered to try and contact them.)

The Player still works on my laptop so I will be able to get my daily Giro fix, just not in 720p quality.

I just ordered Directv's (satellite service here in US) sports pack extra so I can watch the Giro, now I just have to set my alarm to make sure I get out of bed on time in the morning. I will cancel this service after 30 days then I have to upgrade my entire package next month to watch the TDF. I probably haven't watched TV much more than 2 or three hours this entire year. After the TDF my Directv contract time runs out and I will get rid of everything and just go back to good old over the air !

Wish I was back here today - would be bike race and pizzas, a perfect holiday. Just pizza in 2011 (waterfront near start point).

Amalfi coast stage 3 should be stunning.

yep, also a decent stream here boys.

cheers

Wurf looks very very smooth, doesn't he?

Some of these riders need stabilizers.

I expect he uses Veet.

I wanted to watch it without fighting 300 pop ups per hour.

I wanted to watch it without fighting 300 pop ups per hour.

I've taken the plunge & spent £4-95 to subscribe to Europsport Player for the month
Nice to get a consistent feed, without buffering or pop ups !!!
