Potential for some GC action today lads. Lets hope Quintana doesnt wait until the 4th week before attacking.
First climb is probably not going to provide any action, not steep enough and too far from finish. Itll get interesting from around 16:00 CET, when they start approaching the final climb.

EUROSPORT , THE HOME OF CYLING™
Eurosport get all the ads out of the way in the first 2 hours, so they can have the final hour or so completely free of adverts.
You KNOW this by now.
Of course. He knows none of the plebs in this race can beat him so he will use minimal effort. Froome is his only challenger.
Environmentally friendly coral reefs made from cages when? Automated cages mandatory on public roads when?
>thinking you can kill the skeleton king.
You only rustled his bones.
BUT sunday, they gave an ad with like 24km to go, while they promised us no ads in the last 30km's.
>i want this ride to end
>final hour
Come on, now. This is nowhere close to the truth.
Dennis might have abandoned
Let's all watch today and find out when their last ad is.
And if you're on Eurosport player they have an uninterrupted feed with no commentary.
Should we make bets on how many kms are left before their last ad?
But it is mountain finish so last 15km takes 45min
Eurosport could have all the ads they want right up until the end if only they hadn't bought exclusive rights.
Let those of us with far superior national broadcasters keep watching that and we wouldn't mind at all.
I also blame the greedy RCS in equal measure.
RIP WW!
The live data on Giro site is pretty cool desu.

>tfw new wheelset arrived yesterday
Stay mad
Shit, man. 6 years since Weylandt died. Time sure does fly.
>The Finish: the profile says plenty. This is a long climb, the equivalent of the Galibier from Valloire and a lot to contend with for the fourth stage. The slope bites right from the start in Nicolosi and then gradually becomes more exposed as they climb higher. This is the route via “Salto del Cane” and not the same they used in 2011, the road is a bit smaller and more irregular. The pitch changes along the way but there’s nothing savage, this is more a grinding test of VAM for 45 minutes. Just after 1km to go the road dips down before rising back up to the line at 3% for the last 300 metres
tfw no Valverde to destroy everyone in the last 300m
last ad will be just before the ascent of the Etna.
RIP Wouter.

How was your ride today, /cyc/? Mine was very slow and very comfy.
>being a bootlicker for a global media corporation
Doesn't get more pathetic than that.
also spotted some top tier qts
I am leaving now. Just doing an hour with some hills. Tell Nairo not to attack until I return.
Just under an hour. Four seasons was the theme
too many commercials
Said media corporation provides top-tier content from large portion of my favourite sports.
Ride to work was cold as it was still -1°C. Hopefully it's a bit warmer as I ride back home soon.
Summer when? Wasn't global warming supposed to be a thing?
STOP watching euroshit
What a weird and childish comment this was then and the same goes for a comment you made to me over the weekend.
As I wrote, your precipus Discovery Networks can show however much cycling they want, just don't muscle out local broadcasters and buy exclusive rights.
Always a lot of commercials when they air a couple hour long stage. I think it helps the commentators too.
fuck off burger , because your tv is absolute shit doesnt mean that we also have to have dogshit
What team is van rensburg from
:DDDDDD
TV here does not air the Giro.
>bum chums
This descent is so comfy.
not for losada
So who is /best boy/ at this year's Giro lads?
no ban pls
Those brakesqueals after turn-in always make me nervous.
Lovely scenery
Adam Yates strikes me as cunt.
Based Matt Stephens being an interviewer for eurosport
Quintana attack when?
it's gonna happen this year. just you wait.
Can't wait to watch another significant breakaway get swallowed by the peloton with 1750m to go
pseudo """"attack"""" on the one of the last stages so nobody asks "why did you never attack"
hes a hack desu
thats what they said last year
why is quintana at the giro?
Dumemelin whinging like always.
Man I want Big Tom/Sunweb to be good so badly, but I just don't think they have the team.
So he has an excuse for the Tour.
He realised Froome is unbeatable so he just avoids him.
It's not my fault Discovery spends a ton of money on the rights. You keep complaining about Eurosport mostly because they don't have commentators you like in your country and they have a few ads, that are run at times when there is no action.
If you want your local public broadcasting agency to show cycling to you maybe you should pay more taxes so they have enough money to pay for the rights.
he probably shouldn't bother going to the tdf
froome has it sewn up for at least another three years
Had my first ride of the year today after a winter of drinking like a fish and smoking like a chimney.
Had to borrow my housemates bike as both tyres on mine are fucked. Had a few mechanicals along the way and nearly got forced off the road by a herd of sheep fleeing an exuberant pupper.
Absolutely murdered by the big climb but the cobwebs have been thoroughly blown and the time wasn't as shit as I thought it might be. Quite a pleasing effort altogether,

Hello newfriend
Goddamn Eurosport sucks, fuck those ads. Luckily I have it in my tv player without need for a VPN, but still.
Also Etna when?
Yeah it's pretty awful.
>come back from ads
>commentators talking about some road feature we didn't see because of the ads
Now. Bit of a climb now, then a short descent and then final climb.
Yes, well.
>mfw Etna erupts.
