    Adam Hansen's GT run is likely to end after today's stage. Vuelta '11 - Giro '18. That's 20 consecutive finished Grand Tours.
    :shock:

    He's not travelled to Rome. He's still in an Alpine hospital.

    Can we have a whip round and buy it for Rick. I'm sure he'd love it.

    This is the Giro, people. Home to such iconic stylists as Mario Cipollini.

    I, for one, salute Froome for paying homage to such grand traditions, at such personal cost to his dignity.

    I'm willing to be corrected, but I think this is Pinarello's first Giro victory since Indurain.

    if he wears black shorts its not that bad as long as you don't look at it for more that 3-5secs in one go. if you dye your goatee you officially jump the shark

    The team sky Instagram pic has Froome and 2 others looking at it.

    Frankly I think they re all in total agreement with us..

    That logo on the inside of the chain stay is unfortunate. I thought it said moist. Paired with the colour, that is :oops:

    It’s been a great race, the race people claim the Giro is every year when it generally isn’t.

    By my count, only the third "great" in the past 13 years, with a couple of good editions here and there.
