Giro d'Italia **Spoilers**

[smutchin]

Having not been able to follow the race closely for the last few days, I was wondering what happened to Ulissi but I see he has pulled out due to illness. Shame. With a bit better luck, he could have been a good bet for a podium place in this Giro.

Quintana has showed he is definitely the strongest rider here and deserves the pink jersey - thank god. Though he took it in an unrespectable manner, it is obvious he would have taken it regardless.

As much as I'm enjoying the giro I'm missing a nibali/contador who would be really trying to run away on this descent to pressure quintana.

Any of the main contenders demon descenders?

Also if nairo did crash on the descent would/should they wait?

If I were Bongiorno I'd ride back down the mountain, rip the rainbow jersey of that clot then shove it up his arse and set fire to it.

Typical muppet in a rainbow jersey dicking things up. Loved seeing Poels throw buddie's shades away, class.

OK, as promised some pics from Stage 15, I won't bore the thread with all of them so I've just picked a few. Great to see it, nearly missed it due to traffic so scooted off down a back street and parked up yards from the route with about 20 minutes to spare.

Thought this guy was a one man break away for a minute...

Pre race entertainment provided by the guy in the red car zooming down past the traffic and trying to get round the rab, the policeman was having none of it, he was told!

Race pics...

Evans team didnt wait when all the crashes made him go into the pink.

Why would any other team wait?

Got to feel for Bongiorno. What a nobber that bloke was. And to make it worse, his idiocy handed the stage to Mick feckin' Rogers of all people...
