Sadly TGH is out with a fractured hip !
And it’s so wet in Italy atm, they’ve even cancelled the F1 GP !!!
Fingers crossed for safer racing from here on !

Will there be some firewalls tonight or will there be even more rain ????
Was hoping for a Mads and Matthews showdown but that didn’t happen

- The need for leg warmers up a steep climb
- the co-ordination to put them on while riding
- the capacity to do that whilst going up a steep climb

+1 - think it's a by-product of a very close GC and big last week. If the top5 gaps were minutes, reckon it would be different.vosadrian wrote: ↑Tue May 23, 2023 8:39 amNormally the Giro is my favourite of the GTs. Not really living up to expectation this time. I enjoyed the stage on the Amalfi coast for the scenery. Most others have just been rain... whichl would be OK if the racing was good. There have been some good battles within breakaways and between breakaway and Peleton, but nothing going on yet with GC.

But looking forward to Roglic vs Thomas (and anyone else) in the mountains. Surely the Welsh goat can't beat Primoz.

Jayco have had a great outcome so far with the Giro and should get some great points for UCI out of it.
Dunbar is riding really well for them
Looking fwd to tonight and tomorrow!!!

I'm missing your point - he rides for Jayco-AIUIa & was 3rd on stage 8 so it's not like he came out of nowhere.fat and old wrote: ↑Fri May 26, 2023 12:19 pmSome bloke named Zana won last nights stage

Or are you thinking they confused him with Fillipo Ganna who rides for Ineos, but dropped out before stage 8?

Yeah, great Tour for Jayco! Bling nearly held off all comers for a second win yesterday.
Hopefully we'll get a good finale. Gunna be hard for the champ to pull back an in-form Gerraint.

Ah that makes sense - as a never was I've always thought it must be hardest to be close but not quite there. Pinot has made a career out of it, with a career highlight of 3rd in le tour

Hepburn ride was great. Was he called back to help Dunbar at the end ?
Uphill TT will be interesting
