Cannondale using disk brakes

Vino'sGhost

Actually some are using disk brakes some aren't, what a pain for the mechanics

blazing_saddles

Way behind the slowest schedule, I'd say.
Still nearly 3 hours of the race left and there's a headwind.

Some are some aren't - must be down to riders' choice (or so we would hope)

I'm not sure what this is telling me.

It is showing that in recent years, the better finishers rode paris-nice rather than the Italian equivalent.

That's only based on run of last 2. I'd say the message is that you have to ride one of them, and not surprisingly would likely have won a stage.

They need to get a shift on or I'll miss the finale

Demare wants this bad after last year's err issues

The other thing is I'm going to be one of those uncool people who gets to Rapha before the Cipressa!

Least I'll be able to get a beer.

They've put a rear wiper off a JCB on the back

Right. Time to fall asleep and wake up in around an hour.

I can tell the season has started - I've grown weary of the Eurosport adverts. Anyone for a crocodile garage?

Pross

Any feeds? I found a great one for Strade but can't remember which site!

Crocodile garage? Is this some sort of weird Jimmy Nail remix?

ddraver

This seems to do weird things for the add breaks but works well enough - http://www.shadow-net.org/channels/Brit ... ort-2.html

The woman in the Tel Aviv adverts on Eurosport is worth stying awake for :shock:

What, you're going to miss the pointless attacks on the Cipressa and just after?

No_Ta_Doctor

And jumping the gun slightly, Alexis Gougeard attacks.

bobmcstuff

To be fair, I would love it if a longer attack stuck (I know it won't).

Oh of course, it's just so obviously, blatantly, Voecklerly doomed to failure.

graeme_s-2

No Sean Kelly on Eurosport? Doesn't he normally commentate on MSR?

No_Ta_Doctor

I never get the Tifosi with their flares... Just what you need to be inhaling when cycling up a hill after 250km.

smithy21

Where are they now?

Cleaned my bike and headed out for a coffee.

Heading home in 20 mins, assume that should be close enough to poggio time?

Commnetary free UCI channel on the player

And to the UCI - if you want to stop d!ckheads letting off flares and filling riders lungs with smoke after 240km riding then stop the cameramen taking lingering shots of the idiots standing waving them at the helicopter

ddraver

Meh. Italian fans without flates are just randoms on yhe side of the road....

blazing_saddles

Almost time for the better quality break to form.
