It's Stelvio time!

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).

De Gendt is nearly virtual Pink jersey (why did I take him out of my Fantasy team?)

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.

Intermediate checkpoint: De Gendt 11 seconds up on Scarponi, Hesjedal 1 second up on De Gendt, Rodriguez approaching...

1) He's been having a terrible season2) The report says he's fractured his pelvis

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

what is that cool sounding melancholic, electronic (sounds like a tightly phased Fender Rhodes) incidental music snip they play at stage endings shortly before they switch to Tennis, etc.?

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.

Bola del Mundo on saturday is another leg breaker, I can't see Contador giving up even if resistance does seem to be futile.

I want to get it, but apparently the British version has been edited (because of stricter libel laws) so I want to get it from America.
