Josh Tarling wins the TT and stage 2 of the Giro for the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland, by one second from overall race favourite (and new leader) Primoz Roglic. Lovely Orla laying down her marker early on comms too.
It’s a work of art isn’t it (as is the mural). Looks like another sprint finish tmrw, first days racing in Italy.
Yes the mural is great, so much better than the 'wall art' over here which generally is just a tag of the 'artist'
I binned Twitter off halfway through last year and not looked back tbh. Blue skys probably a bit tame and liberal for some on here admittedly though.
Don’t go as much as I once did, too many conspiracy theorists and actors turned experts on everything everywhere. Then there’s Musk and Trump and Twitter pushing pro Moscow narratives. It’s a cesspit of hate IME. Not tried BlueSky.
Yep it’s a cesspit of hate and vitriol spawned by its utterly grim excuse of a human being of an owner (and his owner). It used to be brilliant, now it can get to absolute fuck
Casper van Uden wins stage 4. His team sponsor was going to be my next “project” before I got laid off lol. Last 10k was electric, the rest not so much.
Mads wins again on the day he signed a lifetime contract with Lidl Trek. Last 20k was decent today, much more interesting stage than yesterday by far. Couple of climbs towards the end got rid of the pure sprinters too. Pidock 3rd (In some absolutely beautiful countryside atm)
Absolute carnage on stage 6 caused by some pretty average rain but turned the roads to ice. Bora dude crashed in front of the whole peloton. Multiple DNFs including Jai Hindley and Jay Vine. Stage neutralised for ages and let go with about 40k to go. 10k to go and we’re in for a wet sprint finish Edit: Jay Vine is still in the race
Absolute drama in Napoli including an idiot protester jumping in front of the peloton. Kaden Groves for number one on an absolutely bat shit mental day/stage.
Juan Ayuso takes Stage 7 for Brutal mountain top finish that left only the GC contenders at the end. Mads loses the Maglia Rosa by well over 7 minutes. Loads of uk riders involved so far. Paul Double for Jayco with a long breakaway today sweeping up lots of lovely KOM points.
