IIRC Paolo Savoldelli was the last Trek rider to win the Giro. One of Dr Ferrari’s lot.

Evanepoel is back. It’s a ballsy move to put the rest of the Wolf Pack at his disposal first race back - unless you know he’s going well…

Buongiorno!

May the best cyclist win…should be some exciting finishes…

There is a decent 1 hour highlights package on Quest HD every evening at 7.00 in the UK - available on Freesat and, presumably, Freeview. Commentary nowhere near as good as Imlach and company but worth watching if you can tolerate Sean Yates.

Today’s (Tuesday 11th) Stage 4 looks lumpy, Piacenza to Sestola (187km)

and plenty of scope for breakaway action : >

Fantastic finish to Monday’s stage which must have left the peleton more than a little miffed for miscalculating the resilience of the breakaway!

Yeswell…he means Sean “Yeswell” Kelly.

18

Yep, I did mean Sean Kelly - does he ever say anything that isn’t bleeding obvious and banal? I guess Sherwen and Liggett, and now Boulting and Miller have spoilt me.
At least Orla Chennaoui’s outfits are a nightly source of amazement, and she is a knowledgeable and entertaining presenter.

I still mourn the sad loss of David of the Duffieldisms :neutral_face:

Chapeau!

David spent more time talking Camembert than Campagnolo and Vin Rouge than Van Poppel .
Miss him…Kelly is a tool.
