Absolutely, stunning part of the world. We honeymooned in the area 23 years ago (how time flies). Can safely say Rivello is the most serene and stunning place I've ever been. Always said we'd go back but never havemididoctors said:Hope it's not raining

GC teams to drill it on the early climbs to test out Remco's injuries? SQS reporting he's quite stiff with a bruised hip, would have thought they'd have said he was fine.0

Chase re ignited by bardiani for a few secs"If I was a 38 year old man, I definitely wouldn't be riding a bright yellow bike with Hello Kitty disc wheels, put it that way. What we're witnessing here is the world's most high profile mid-life crisis" Afx237vi Mon Jul 20, 2009 2:43 pm0

There's a potato chaser in between and Bardiani appear to have been told they need someone in the break. Feels like they've left it too late though and are just going to annoy everyone.0

OK so Hatch has just just the term "chasing potatoes".Pross said:There's a potato chaser in between and Bardiani appear to have been told they need someone in the break. Feels like they've left it too late though and are just going to annoy everyone.
Anyone able to enlighten the permanently bewildered as to its origin?0 -
Chasse patat. Dutch. Chasse being french for chase, and patat being dutch for chips ('cos the Flemish like to mix it up).JimD666 said:

Comes from 6 days, something to do with the kind of races they'd have immediately after dinner when they'd have afternoon and evening sessions, which were not consequential, so the favourites would try to race slow (as they were full of chips).
If someone went off on a flyer, the favourites would work together and hang them out to dry to punish them for making them chase in an inconsequential race when they were still digesting.
It then evolved to mean what it does now.

Serre must be getting fed up, I assume the DS is punishing him for missing the move initially0

Is 1 minute per 10k still a thing? Watching on PCS the gap has only come down by 30 seconds in 15 k or so0
