Just saw this and since the OP mentioned the Giro I thought it might be of interest of those of you who don't have Eurosport. It's available for £19.99 for 12 months:

Me and my luck again.

I had a nice new route planned for the weekend so decided to see if my LBS had tyres because I was warned that my rear was squared off, so was of limited lifespan. A complete fluke saw me fall arse over tit on the way. Straight down onto my old haematoma site and right hand equally. Bloke on a mobility scooter checked I was all right and offered me a lift. I smiled it off in proper agony. Swollen and bruised hand and up inside of wrist and hip is swollen and grazed. Not expecting to ride this weekend now. Oh well, at least I've got a new tyre.

A rush of blood to the head has seen me add 3 complete wildcards to my Giro lineup, purely to add another contender.
GCN's Dan Lloyd better be right about 2 of them.... ;o)

Well, as Stat clearly knows more than an ex pro ;o) I've had one last jiggle with the squad.
Much more balanced now, & a big improvement....

Thanks Stat! )

Blimey with the exception of 1.5km yesterday, so far this Giro is a race it's own mother would struggle to love.

Nah I stay off the A272 - inexplicably [MENTION=22214]banjo[/MENTION] trundles along that.

Alternatively

I didn't run [MENTION=225]Hamilton[/MENTION] off the road, merely shouted abuse at him.
Well to be more precise, shouted abuse at his right knee - there ain't a court in the land that would convict me of that (certainly not after seeing the offending knee in action)


I'd love to know what happened in the build up to that footage.
There's no way the cyclist would willingly take up such a suicidal road position.
I'd wager some tit for tat 'red mist' is involved.

Although doesn't help the fella in the report as you can comfortably get 2 riders inside him.
