Ditto.

If you want to support cancer charities, which are a worthy cause, why not UK ones? Certainly where any of my money or support would go.

Lance in Yellow. No chance. Tony Martin has a far better chance of moving to the top spot. Team Columbia are going to be hard to beat today but is the course long enough to make up 33 seconds? We shall see.

How awesome were they yesterday in demolishing the field, brilliant stage and a fantastic result again for Cav.

[quote="Sean Hogan - 何祥"]What are the chances of Lance being in yellow today? Can Astana make 40secs on Saxo Bank?
Sean


IF you believe all the hype about a split team, I don't think so. It wil be entertaining to see if Astana all work as hard they could/should :lol:

I am with Ant on this with Tony Martin. However Garmin have been targetting this stage so we shall see.

I know who I'll be shouting for :wink:

This course is a shocker...narrow lanes, tight bends, pot holes, nasty little lumps, speed bumps....hey we'd do well, sounds just like a club run... :lol:


plus they should have a reward to any team that finished without at least one rider falling off :shock:

[quote="Sean Hogan - 何祥"]I'm looking forward to watching the ITV4 highlights ;-)

They only have time to show highlights; most of the hour-long programme is adverts.

Let's just face the facts, as trendy as the Giro may be at the moment, it will never, ever, be THE Tour!

I'm hoping it comes down to Lance v Albert on the Ventoux, and it results in an actuall rolling fist fight to decide it!!

I watched my etape stage of last year's TdF on viddy last night, Stage 10, Pau-Hautacam with Tourmalet in the middle.

Quite sobering to see it ridden properly. And in half the time.

Now they're saying Cancellara keeps the jersey by less than a second!

Have to agree, only the first week and already its turning into a classic. I watched the highlights this evening and it was edge of your seat stuff. :shock:

It's more the routes chosen and that the Giro is often a more challenging race, just look at some of the recent Giro stages for brutal climbs.


The riders make the race, not the parcours.
