    Apparently there have been quite a few crashes out on the course. Reports say someone (unnamed) has broken their collarbone

    Plus Ciccone broke his hand a couple of days ago, but is a starter.

    If Froome crashes on first day, he's bound to win.
    Fckin' Quintana … that creep can roll, man.

    I know lots of you love the Spring Classics, but for me this is where it all starts. Hope it's a good one

    Fabio Sabatini, 18th GT, no wins in his whole pro career. Its a tough sport.

    Dennis takes a huge chunk out of Cavagna's time.

    Jerusalem has more madness per square meter than anywhere else I have been. going to boil out there.

    Time to have lunch or sort those little jobs that have to be done.
    Cliche Kirby has arrived in the commentary box to ruin most folks enjoyment.

    That's the worst news. Sporza were priced out last year, now Rai has gone behind the paywall.
    All of which means the only non- Kirby option is to switch off, or watch Yorkshire
    I've opted for the latter.
    He never did the Giro when he had his Italian contract.
    I swear he's been on flipping everything this year.
    It's like Eurosport have decided to give the big middle finger to all those complaining.
    Monopolies....

    Sounds as though Kirby is sharing commentating duties with Rob Hatch. So at least that's something.

    Although I think Kirby will be on air for the important parts of a stage :roll:
