>tfw giro stream on one monitor while working on the other 2
Work becomes much comfier when GTs are on.

...

>tfw going to miss today

Chopper can't follow the race due to wind or something.

Australia's brave Esteban Chaves will win today

>mountain descents in weather where choppers can't fly

Most likely due to clouds. It didn't look too windy when we still had video

The yearly Giro stage without pictures

>Italians in charge of anything

Stream pls

italy pls

>italian broadcasting

It's to remind us all what watching the vuelta is like.

i hope this shitty weather lifts before the Alps
that year they cancelled the Stelvio and butchered three other mountain stages was horrible

anyone know which ravine team sky have slid into en masse?

guess Movistar were hoping Sky would struggle on the descent

is dumoulin elite?

He's the hero the Giro deserves, but not the one it needs right now. So we'll hunt him. Because he can take it. Because he's not our hero. He's a silent guardian. A watchful protector. A Pink Knight.

2008 called. it wants you back.

your mum called, she wants you back by 7pm

jokes on you i am with her right now.

>this Just Eat commercial

>implying i wouldnt gladly go back to better times

didnt really care for the Dark knight though

>Sastre Tour winner 2008

scratch that, dont send me back

what are the chances of Big Tom taking this stage?

The broadcast of the giro is not in charge of italian tv, we have just some exclusive cameras

3%
Should be able to hold on to the wheel of the likes of Nibbels and Valverde though, unless he really spoke the truth when he said he was a bit heavier than in the vuelta and didnt really train in the mountains this winter.

If he survives the final climb without much trouble, things are looking up for him for the rest of the giro. We will know a lot more about all the GC men and their form in the next 1,5 hours or so

Valverde vs Ulissi, innit?

Are they in the alps yet?

no buddy the mountains you see in these stages are appennini, the alps are in the north italy

Didn't know about those. I'm not really watching, just asked because of the op.

what do those lines and letter mean at the bottom of the image

the provinces they cross on the way

BN - Benevento
CE - Caserta
CB - Campobasso
IS - Isernia
AQ - L'Aquila

>7 minutes

winner is in that first group for sure

peloton is just letting them go, bunch of pussies

crazy. wellens will never get an easier grand tour stage win

(or didier)

based wellens

No one cares about the fugitives, they are meaningless for the pink, the real battle begins when the peloton reach the last climb, and it would be awesome

20 km of climbing yet to come. Ulissi's Lampre Merida will start working hard in a few minutes.

climb isn't nearly hard enough to bring the break back.

group of 60 to roll in together (IMO)

Bobridge has been such a disappointing road cyclist.

can someone who knows cycling why Astana decided to launch that danish guy?
what do they want to gain?

Wake up lads!

Go based Wellens

Based Fuglsang

explain why*

He's quite a dangerous rider.
It will make the other teams use their energy chasing him.

is it because only Astana was trying to drag the group to chase the head, so they forced other teams to swap with them?

basically it's a bait

Yes.
It also later gives Nibali the chance to attack, and for Fuglsang to be there to help him.

cool, many thanks
i love cycling strategies and teamwork
so selfless by the supporting riders, they bust their asses big time to give their captain the glory, based as fuck

Maglia rosa group on pleasant memory flashback cam.

kek i noticed that too

Fuglsang it's only 35''to the pink, if he keeps this his advantage now he could get the pink

Is cycling a sport?

based wellens better win this

He'd have to crash to lose this

unless he completely busts his leg (very unlikely this early into the race) he will

vid?

>tfw no twink speedo wearing italian bf

There's a Jimmy Saville loose in Italy

oh god, please kill those two naked idiots

fuglsang astana captain and cuckbali waterboy when

Dumoulins climbing abilities amaze me everytime

Valverde choke?

The day fuglsang gets italian nationality

>the incredible city of nibbles

italy in flames

shitty choice to attack there by Nibali
still too early to mean anything, but Doumulin is racing very well, wouldn't understimate him

Good stage, was hoping a bit more from nibbles though

i always feel very uncomfortable watching these riders post race talking to press people

what if one of them has a slight cold or some shit that ruins the race for you, maybe im just autistic

Tom Dumoulin is a fucking baller.

not yet

yeah, also, because of this, Doumulin gained some seconds, probably if Nibali didn't try to attack the pink he would not do anything

Yes, yes you are

it's weird to see a cycling fan rooting so hard for a team and not a rider
why? i mean i know it's a french team, but still
