    Saw some big men cry just now. All are frozen corpses.

    Sounds like me after riding in North Yorkshire this winter.

    Surely this has to be the best opportunity for an out and out sprinter to win it.

    85km. Fresh riders. 7:10 gap. Definitely not a foregone conclusion.


    Oh! Only 85km....

    Eurosport coverage just started...

    Just watching Eurosport.. one of the Lotto guys in the break looked like he was using a makeshift bum-guard sticking out the back of his saddle?! Is that UCI legal?

    Okay switch up again according to reports in Italy. Situation evolving and instead there will be 131km to go from the restart in Cogoleto. So a longer distance but no ascent of Le Manie.

    Will 85kmm be far enough for me to get through this ironing basket?

    To cap it all off, when it does eventually start, Eurosport have found some guy from the pub to do the commentary with Maggie. :(

    Now they say #MRS will start in Cogoleto at 131km to go... but they will skip Le Manie and race along the coast without using this climb

    Commentary H, when will Maggy commentate instead of reeling of his experiences about climbing (I think) mountains.

    This weather is starting to annoy me now - I can live with my race this morning being abandoned after 20 miles due to snow but not MSR too.
