On a shorter course, the early TV coverage should focus on one or two key riders round the entire course rather than jumping forward and back to every starter and finisher.

Do they have Daylight Saving Time in Italy? Clocks have just gone back an hour in the UK and I'm concerned I'm going to miss out by an hour.RichN95. said:Start times (Italian time)
Ganna at 14.52, Dennis at 15.17
We're now on GMT.

In homage to Tao, though with full knowledge that the job is NOT done yet, here's Hackney, my home borough.
The first surviving records of the place name are as Hakney (1231) and Hakeneye (1242 and 1294). The Romans built the Roman road, Ermine Street, which runs through the modern borough under the names Shoreditch High Street and Kingsland Road amongst others. In the Tudor period, the lands of religious orders were seized by the Crown and put up for sale. Thus Hackney became a retreat for the nobility around Hackney Central and Homerton. Henry VIII's Palace was by Lea Bridge roundabout, where BSix Sixth Form College stands today. Sutton House, on Homerton High Street, is the oldest surviving dwelling in Hackney, originally built in 1535 as Bryck Place for Sir Ralph Sadleir, a diplomat. The village of Hackney flourished from the Tudor to late Georgian periods as a rural retreat.
The first documented "hackney coach"—the forerunner of the more generic "hackney carriage"—operated in London in 1621. Current opinion is that the name "hackney," to refer to a London taxi, is derived from the village name.
The modern Hackney Carriage looks somewhat different.
Hackney ranked as inner London's 'greenest borough' and London Transport's 'best bike borough 2006', with 62 parks and open spaces, covering 815 acres (3.3 km2).

Abney Park Cemetery
Geology (for @ddraver )
The Lea and Hackney Marshes are underlain by alluvium soils; and the higher ground between Homerton and Stamford Hill is formed on a widening bed of London Clay. Brickearth deposits are within tongues of clay extending beneath Clapton Common, Stamford Hill and Stoke Newington High Street. The centre and south western districts lie on river terrace deposits of Taplow Gravel. Victoria Park and Well Street Common lie on flood plain gravel.
Hackney Marshes has the largest number or density (or something like that) of football pitches in the world. They can get pretty muddy because of those alluvium soils.
Hackney has a wide variety of local food, a benefit of its "melting pot" of immigrant cultures

Hackney has a huge variety of pubs, and several breweries

The Maglia Nera leaves the start ramp and we are underway.
How are the nerves, everyone?

First couple of hundred metres a bit technical and dodgy surface. Anyone going out with a bit too much adrenaline could have an issue.0
-
In the Maglia Nera competition btw, Jonathan Dibben wears the black jersey with nearly three minutes in hand. Just needs to soft pedal it around the course within a sensible cut off and the jersey is his.0

Theres no mention of any cycling on the front page of the BBC sport mobile site"Unfortunately these days a lot of people don’t understand the real quality of a bike" Ernesto Colnago0

We really seem to be in an era of exciting young GT contenders now. I know we've had a few false dawns on that front but 3 of the last 4 GTs will have been won by white jersey riders barring a miracle today then there are quite a few others that are tipped to do big things but haven't quite got there yet.0
-
Sagiv takes nearly a minute back on Dibben, but the Brit has taken the Maglia Nera - impossible now for anyone to overtake him without missing the time cut.2

Not the Tour - so it doesn't matter.......Same as their cycling podcast; a TdF preview and nothing since.gsk82 said:Theres no mention of any cycling on the front page of the BBC sport mobile site

A decent clubbie would be beating these times on a 10 mile TT (better add a
!) 0 -
Brandle took an interesting line on the one roundabout quite early on. A bit risky cutting the cobbled over-run then through the central reserve gap but looked a slightly quicker option. Possibly one for those chasing the stage rather than GC.0
-
Dowsett quickest by 5" with a strong second half. Demare very good, currently third.0

Scotson could challenge here. 3 minutes to do 2.3k0

He's going to smash this I reckon.0

17:57!0

I don't see anyone beating that until Ganna.0

Sub-17:30 for the stage winner is possible, I think.0

Masnada got a lot of mentions due to supporting Almeida so Pernsteiner I should think although even he got a shout out occasionally. No-one has quite mastered the full Zubeldia yet.TheBigBean said:Who gets this GT's

The odds on favourite Pello Bilbao has put in a shocking performance. Far too visible.Pross said:

Maybe it was a team ploy to take the race radar off Pernsteiner. He's only registered a blip on two stages."Science is a tool for cheaters". An anonymous French PE teacher.0
