    Easy to find when you accidentally leave them with a spectator by the side of the road.

    OK, coming over all Frenchie for a minute, I appreciate the attempt by Vini Fantini to pay homage to the Giro and to 'Fight for Pink' but I'm not sure colon pink really works on a fluro-yellow helmet.

    I suspect they'll get a flouro -pink exemption, perhaps Paul Smith is already working on it

    In that case, I await a stripey fluro-yellow and pink number, to be awarded to the next person who manages to pull off the Giro-Tour double.

    1. Is it?
    2. Does snooker really have to be in HD.. I mean.. why...? :P Over a sport that is actually produced and transmitted in HD by RCS Sport from a postcardish part of the world.

    Maybe this is the technical descent the RAI commentator was talking about.

    Motorbike forces a Garmin rider off the road, going too slow down the descent.

    Shhhh it's the new tactic to disrupt the Sky train. Everyone knows trains can't run on grass. :wink:
