surprised we dont have one of these already.

Berto threw down a little opening salvo today on stage 5. He feels good and attacks -- gotta love his style. And have to say Aru looked very good covering.   Race is getting exciting!  Loving the Giro!!!

The Giro was lost by many yesterday (surprise surprise) and today (predictable). We're down to three main contenders although Uran may be able to claw back. Jersey zippers can be telling...attacking, marking (comfortably) and hanging in there

Just like that...bike racing can be brutal. And another spectator caused crash (camera this time) after the one where a numbskull entered the peleton on a coaster bike.

Pretty sure he'll start tomorrow, finishing tomorrow is something else.

Pain like that you're situational awareness is shot which means you're bound to crash again. Any normal workplace (or sport) they'd tell you to stay home for health and safety reasons.

well -- If he drops out thats good news for Aru and Porte. Bad news for Quintana and Froome. Added motivation for AC in July
