Giro d'Italia 2015 *spoilers*

[Crackle]

What do we know about Amador. Not a lot on my part, apart from the fact he was mugged in 2010 in Colombia and had his team bike nicked and was left in a bad way. He's snuck up on the GC in this one, previous best GT was 30th at the Vuelta last year. Apart from that, I know nothing?

I seem to recall that he did some pretty outstanding rides at the Giro a few years back but it's only a vague memory.

I picked him in punditry today. That's about as much as I know about him.

Just checked and he won stage 14 in the 2012 Giro

Why are the commentators not questioning the ease which Astana are riding - perfect opportunity what with it being the same finishing location as Pantani's failed "health test"

Maybe they're going downhill! Gravity can't be injected.

Probably not a great career move to accuse them on live TV without any evidence.
I assumed it was Robbie Hatch's reference to how well the old Tiralongo was going every day, was a veiled reference.

Some of them have even taken a newspaper to read on the descent, that's taking the píss

Poor excuse, the "no evidence" one. They have, in my mind, a duty to challenge rather than just sit in wonder. That's Liggett's and Sherwen's job.

Hmmm, Let's see how much Greg Henderson gets done for!

Is that Armstrong in white behind the USP train?

Astana out skying Sky.

Betancur still in the lead group on the final climb? Blimey.

I wish he'd stop banging on about Pantani

Is he? Didn't he fall off?
