Wow - heroic lone break in the Giro
― Pacific Trash Vortex (Nasty, Brutish & Short), Sunday, 20 May 2012 23:05 (fourteen years ago)
absolute hero. solo ride for 70km, crashed at one point, and outsprinted rodriguez after he got caught! the giro is really finely-poised, way better than last year.
i would like the farnese vini kit.
good to see robert gesink get up at the tour of cali - shame that i missed that stage finish yesterday morning, sounds like it was a good one too.

Fantastic finish. I sky+ed the Eurosport coverage (all four hours of it) and have just spent the best part of an hour watching, fast forwarding, watching some more etc. - only to discover that the recording finished with 2km left to race! Exactly the same thing happened a couple of days ago for the Passo Giau stage. Fortunately steephill had a link to some Italian coverage of the last 3km.

best bits of hesjedalia imo:
at 2km- "scarponi, i'ma dump my bottle now. i know you're looking at the back of your eyesockets, but i'm gonna take a good long drink. mmMM, that's nice."
at 800m *looks around, grins*

Very impressive by de Gendt so far. Also Cunego deserves some kind of award for time spent off the front over the last few weeks (to no good effect).
― Pacific Trash Vortex (Nasty, Brutish & Short), Saturday, 26 May 2012 14:46 (fourteen years ago)
De Gendt is nearly virtual Pink jersey (why did I take him out of my Fantasy team?)
― American Fear of Pranksterism (Ed), Saturday, 26 May 2012 14:50 (fourteen years ago)
glad that was streaming on rai. everybody decided to put it all on garmin. have no reservations in hoping hesjedal wins after that.
― chairman mayo mysteries (Hunt3r), Saturday, 26 May 2012 15:32 (fourteen years ago)
That was truly immense. Apparently DeGendt rode the Stelvio 30 times to prepare for today. If Hesjedal wins tomorrow it is well deserved.
I was only musing yesterday about Belgium not having a true GC contender, I guess I was wrong. The Uran/Henao show is pretty exciting too.

Frank is doubtful because Bruyneel is still angry over his Giro abandon.

Vuelta is awesome btw. All the mountain stages have been attack after attack after attack. So much so I'm actually warming to Contador (Valverde can still fuck off though). Best GT of the season.
― American Fear of Pranksterism (Ed), Sunday, 2 September 2012 23:42 (thirteen years ago)
Yeah, I missed the first half of the race but the last two days have been great, more GC attacks on the last climb yesterday than in the whole of the Tour.
