And if the Giro is penal servitude, it is also great adventure, a game of kings; it is also war, an outing in the country, an exam, madness, all those things that greatly remind us of our youth. And so I ask you: You, the racers, if someone gives you a purse full of millions, saying to you, "forget it, here is the money, just give up and stay safely at home, no mud, no cramps," what would you reply?
- Dino Buzzati (thanks NRS5000!)

Oh, that's nice!
If you're not laughing, you're crying in the Giro. Every team leaves [for the start] hours before the race starts, because you never know. Maybe they decided to strike on the road today. Maybe somebody decided not to come to work that day. Maybe the signs to the race are backwards.--Christian Vande Velde

Quote of the day
Gianni Savvio, manager of Serramenti PVC Diquigiovanni-Androni Giocattoli has picked up a new sponsor, Sigma. But as he said to CN “We’ve got no more space for new sponsors on our jerseys”
by Monty. on May 9, 2009 5:01 AM EDT reply actions 0 recs
This headline at CN baffled my brain just now:
“Sastre targets missing Giro podium”…..huh? You mean Sastre is going to try and miss the podium on purpose?! But no, a closer reading reveals that this podium is ‘missing’ as it’s the only grand tour podium Sastre has never reached. Talk about confusing headlines…!

What is it….a flat trip to the corner shop and back on ridiculously over-self-indulgent pieces of semi useless machinery?? I’d rather the bike companies to spend more on making frames out of more sustainable products such as bamboo or hemp….bollocks…i can’t wait, after a 5000km trip around a little corner of Australia with Pommie relatives and NO RIDING for over a week I’ll watch any shit with wheels….I’ll calm down soon!!!

Evening folks! And two questions-
1) How are we at >40 comments when the action is still 3-4 hours away? Scary stuff.
2) I am staying at my Mum’s, ‘cat-sitting’, at the moment. Live streamage ain’t gonna happen here (old machine, crap ISP). My place is only a 10 minute drive away… but am I really gonna drag my tired arse out into the cold* at midnight to drive home and play ‘live stream lottery’…? I am kind of torn about this :-(
*13C/55F. Yes, in my world that qualifies as ‘cold’. …and it will be even colder at midnight ;-)

I'm only considering it
…because it’s a TTT! Wouldn’t be on the agenda otherwise.
Thank god I’ll be done cat-sitting, and be back at my place, for stage 12.

I've been waiting for the Giro for 11 months
so even the test pattern gets me excited.

If we all chant together

would they hear us?
I’m not saying test patterns are a bad thing……

You Garmin-people are all the same
dissing the Giro by only caring about the TTT. There are 20 more stages you know. Don’t you care about those, huh?

There's more than 1 stage?
