And apparently said in interview "I can't see what's behind me and I don't care"

He's been relegated to last place in the stage.

in a way, it's surprising to me that kind of crash doesn't happen more often-- cav wanted to stay on/get on farrar, but was only just closing the gap, and it appears ferrari saw a wheel and thought it was open. i mean, when it's on and you see someone going up like farrar with nobody right on him, the temptation to be an idiot is pretty huge.

well he is british (lol, u mean. xpost)

check the replay videos and watch for the rider who does a bunny hop over the prone cav - so legit

Wow - heroic lone break in the Giro

Pacific Trash Vortex (Nasty, Brutish & Short), Sunday, 20 May 2012 23:05 (twelve years ago) link

absolute hero. solo ride for 70km, crashed at one point, and outsprinted rodriguez after he got caught! the giro is really finely-poised, way better than last year.

i would like the farnese vini kit.

good to see robert gesink get up at the tour of cali - shame that i missed that stage finish yesterday morning, sounds like it was a good one too.

Giro is v. entertaining this year, who would have thought that would happen.

Fantastic finish. I sky+ed the Eurosport coverage (all four hours of it) and have just spent the best part of an hour watching, fast forwarding, watching some more etc. - only to discover that the recording finished with 2km left to race! Exactly the same thing happened a couple of days ago for the Passo Giau stage. Fortunately steephill had a link to some Italian coverage of the last 3km.

Pacific Trash Vortex (Nasty, Brutish & Short), Friday, 25 May 2012 22:22 (twelve years ago) link

best bits of hesjedalia imo:

at 2km- "scarponi, i'ma dump my bottle now. i know you're looking at the back of your eyesockets, but i'm gonna take a good long drink. mmMM, that's nice."

at 800m *looks around, grins*

guys guys guys, the Stelvio is totally covered in snow

Gentlemen Take Instagram Photos (King Boy Pato), Saturday, 26 May 2012 14:04 (twelve years ago) link

It's Stelvio time!

Pacific Trash Vortex (Nasty, Brutish & Short), Saturday, 26 May 2012 14:15 (twelve years ago) link

Very impressive by de Gendt so far. Also Cunego deserves some kind of award for time spent off the front over the last few weeks (to no good effect).

Pacific Trash Vortex (Nasty, Brutish & Short), Saturday, 26 May 2012 14:46 (twelve years ago) link

De Gendt is nearly virtual Pink jersey (why did I take him out of my Fantasy team?)

American Fear of Pranksterism (Ed), Saturday, 26 May 2012 14:50 (twelve years ago) link

glad that was streaming on rai. everybody decided to put it all on garmin. have no reservations in hoping hesjedal wins after that.

chairman mayo mysteries (Hunt3r), Saturday, 26 May 2012 15:32 (twelve years ago) link

That was truly immense. Apparently DeGendt rode the Stelvio 30 times to prepare for today. If Hesjedal wins tomorrow it is well deserved.

I was only musing yesterday about Belgium not having a true GC contender, I guess I was wrong. The Uran/Henao show is pretty exciting too.

(why did I take him out of my Fantasy team?)

I didn't :-)

Intermediate checkpoint: De Gendt 11 seconds up on Scarponi, Hesjedal 1 second up on De Gendt, Rodriguez approaching...

Pacific Trash Vortex (Nasty, Brutish & Short), Sunday, 27 May 2012 14:54 (twelve years ago) link

Rodriguez about 30 secs down already - il vincitore sara' Canadese

I don't often go around liking Treks but I think I like that one.

wtf
course doesn't suit him but could have podiumed
team to back Frank then?

zappi, Wednesday, 13 June 2012 17:01 (twelve years ago) link

1) He's been having a terrible season
2) The report says he's fractured his pelvis

Pacific Trash Vortex (Nasty, Brutish & Short), Wednesday, 13 June 2012 17:06 (twelve years ago) link

Frank is doubtful because Bruyneel is still angry over his Giro abandon.

question for euro/brits:

what is that cool sounding melancholic, electronic (sounds like a tightly phased Fender Rhodes) incidental music snip they play at stage endings shortly before they switch to Tennis, etc.?
