    What we need are more races in warm and sunny countries....

    .... I rode up Holme Moss and Woodhead pass yesterday in blazing sunshine, should have a GT here, oh wait.... :roll:

    (though both are mere pimples compared with this!!)

    We've had lovely weather these last few weeks for the most part in the Netherlands. Now we should definitely have a GT, maybe we could share it with Belgium and Luxembourg so we could have some hills and maybe we could get it sponsored by an oil company.

    According to Rai:

    Cataldo leads

    Dupont, Vuillermoz, Pantano at 46 secs

    Chaplaud at 1.18

    Quintana, Hesjedal, Rolland, Sicard, Rambo, Izaguirre at 2.02

    Geniez and Landa at 2.27

    Uran at 3.4

    No idea if they are accurate.

    If Uran was told it was neutralised, they can't make it stick.

    Uran thought the descent was neutralised?

    Were the teams definitely told it was neutralised and, if so, how comes only Uran seems to have listened? If the neutralisation was never confirmed or officially cancelled then Uran / OPQS can have no complaints.

    You would think not. It will become a matter of proving he was told it was.

    Cataldo got rid of his jacket and gloves a few minutes ago, definitely giving this a go

    With this confusion evident on the road will they just neutralise the stage?

    They took a wrong turn and ended up in the Sachertorte official shop in Bozen/Bolzano.

    I'd be astounded. I hope they don't.
    It's only a bit of sport, Mun. Relax and enjoy the racing.

    Quite a farce this..

    Wrong communication: no neutralization for the descent from the Passo dello Stelvio. Sorry for the wrong information. #giro

    I think there is no chance of neutralising the results and no chance of them adjusting anything. Cycling is pretty much always about crossing the line first with the single exception being the 3km rule.

    Hope so but if Quintana goes I guess he has to go with him.

    Luckily Uran has Majka's boys to ride as well.
