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

I gave up when Eurosport started showing adverts for their Giro coverage when they should have been doing their Giro coverage. I put it back on in time to hear the last 4 km and see the last 0.4 km!

There is a showing today at 11:30am on Eurosport 2. Hopefully it's not a repeat of yesterdays nonsense.

Inner Ring is saying that the conditions look okay, which means that the first climb will not be neutralized, although the stage will still finish at the Pantani monument. We should have a race... and maybe even TV coverage.

Failing that we will get some good footage of the finish line for a few hours.

It's at times like these that you almost miss Duffield's extensive knowledge of local food and wine, or at least descriptions of what he had for dinner the previous night. Almost.

I quite like his voice too. I can happily listen to it whilst staring at the finish line. Sean Kelly's on the other hand..............................

My better half can just about handle me watching cycling "all the f*cking time"" but as soon as Kelly starts talking she leaves the room. So he does have his good points.

Did they forget about Liggett and Sherwen?

Ligget the legend? Surely not.

I do think it's a personal preference but i really do struggle with Kelly.​

"This one is a really technical and fast decent". IT'S DESCENT MAN!!!!! ​

 

[Noodley]

Ligget the legend? Surely not.

No, that must be his cousin. The one I am referring to is Liggett the bell-end.

Not a fan then? Who's doing the TDF?

Failing that we will get some good footage of the finish line for a few hours.

And failing that, we will get endless clips of skiers falling over to the accompaniment of oompah band music.

 

[yello]

I like oompah music, I may just watch.

The epg is promising 15 mins of "WATTS" between this morning's ToC and Giro highlights programmes on Eurosport 2, so tune in at 11.15 if that's your thing.
