Doing his best podge and rodge impression.
DVR failed again but from the reports I might have given up watching as well.
Seems like an opportunist win when everyone else had marked themselves out of contention. Perfectly legit way to win but seems to have been the dullest of the classics this year.

Miserable conditions today. In theory this descent off the stelvio has been neutralised but nobody seems to have told the riders.

amazing performance from ryder, I assumed quintana would've shredded him.

I went to bed in the valley after the stelvio. The confusion on the descent offers a glimpse of what it might be like with no race radios. This is turning into a proper race.

Watching the post giro show, Processo alls tappa, right now. The story is that the neutralisation was never announced on radio corsa and that's the only official source of race info. General opinion is it's Uran and everyone else's fail for not responding to Quintana getting away. Riders should thing on the road not rely on their earpieces.
― American Fear of Pranksterism (Ed), Wednesday, 28 May 2014 02:07 (ten years ago) link
really enjoy seeing quintana on the podium smiling, because on the bike he often just looks sorta robotic, with very little expression. in contrast to aru, whom i also like.

Here's a photo of him on the by sort of smiling.

Heartbreaking seeing Emma Pooley coming across the line in tears. She's retiring, in part because there aren't enough races for a a female climber/time trialist.

Pretty good assessment. Giro is also best at media and easiest to watch in the way I want to watch it. Although having said that la videotape is going through my favourite part of spam over the next week and I wish I were there.

Not sure I like the idea of the top cyclists competing in all three grand tours. I mean, I love the idea of seeing the big fish go head to head more often, but comparing the cycling calendar to sports like tennis seems a bit wrongheaded given the energy expense over such long periods of time. Am I missing something?
