    First riders starting to come in, times around 1.15.

    This is a tough bastard, and no mistake.

    Not sure Viviani is even going to have to turn the pedals once to get to the top. Lots of helping hands...

    Think you're a little behind there, he was beaten by a couple of minutes a while back.

    They do drag it out these tennis boys...

    They could have at least put the Giro on one of the channels, even the biggest tennis head can only look at one screen at a time...

    Guess what!? @josvanemden just pauzed his @giroditalia TT to ask his girlfriend @kherpelinck to marry him! She said yes! Congratulations!


    How bizarre.

    I'm watching RAI.
    just checked on that tennis: a minimum of 2 sets to play?
    Folks will be lucky to get one hour, if that, by my reckoning.
    Appalling when you think it's day long coverage on both channels.

    Glad it's not just me. Also that Salice advert, makes me want to do a dance every time I hear it, it's like something off Eurotrash...

    Federer match will finish on Eurosport 2, #giro on as soon as Djokovic ends (on that channel at the mo) & we can switch Fed over.

    Anyone seen/heard anything regarding the gearing of choice?

    I am watching that link you posted before and I watched the previous few stages with it and will watch the rest with it as it is quite possibly the best one I've ever used apart from the official Rai one on their website.

    If you're on Monte Grappa for the TT today, please stand back and 'enjoy the action' - don't 'be a part of it'. #giro14

    Kenny de Haes snapped his chain during the TT, didn't have a support vehicle, and has finished with 1:27:00, 14:41 down on.

    Looking at the MTT at last year's Giro which was not so long and not quite so hard, Majka finished best of the current GC crop just ahead of Uran.

    I'm glad it's still working. Tried it the other day and it was off air.

    Kenny Dehaas will be OTT, almost certainly after that mechanical.

    Good effort from Swift, second place at the mo, by a couple of seconds.

    Swift really is climbing well. Comes in 2nd, only 10 seconds down.

    Just had a peep at ES 2.
    If Djokovic loses this set, both matches will be in exactly the same boat. :oops:

    Sporza on my tv has the Belgium ITT, not the Giro.

    Spent 5 minutes watching on that link, thinking wow they're bombing it, then asked when did Tony Martin tag in, then realised it was the Belgium tour.

    There's a commentary free feed on the eurosport player. That climb is a brute!
