I'm still annoyed I didn't pick Ganna - nearly did as he'd just won the Worlds TT but then forgot to.
Am waiting for time trial. We only really need to watch the final two, don't we?

Could be the second non-dull time trial this year!

We dont have access to Eurosport- can we hear the time trial on the radio? Otherwise what's the best website for updates as they ride?

@Walkingtheplank would the 7 day free trial for Eurosport player on amazon work for you?

@Walkingtheplank It's live streaming for free on youtube

I actually started watching it on S4C online but my Italian is better than my Welsh so I'll watch it on YouTube - thanks!

Anyone else watching through their fingers, such a technical course with lots of painted on road signs, stay safe boys!

Love that you've been watching it on S4C, even I rarely do that and I DO understand Welsh bet Italian is a lot more emotional and entertaining.

I ended up watch S4C but with the Italian audio!

Good to have a British winner of a GT this year. Brailsford could not have looked happier

What an amazing GT year so far. I fear the Vuelta can only disappoint!

I do like a surprise winner. Much more fun.

Looking at the way things are going in Spain I can see the Vuelta not making it to the end. Mind you, I said that about the Giro and was wrong there! But I think the timing is very much against the Vuelta, both in terms of the rising Covid cases and the weather. I know it would have been difficult, but once the new timing was agreed I really think they should have changed the route and headed further South in search of better weather. L'Angliru in November is positively insane.

Congratulations to @EndoplasmicReticulum for winning the MN league and taking the maglia rosa as well. A whopping 800 points ahead of the person in second place as well me which is quite a feat.

That Brailsford interview I get the feeling that this Giro has meant a lot to him.

Yes, congrats EndoplasmicReticulum - a resounding victory.
I'm pretty pleased to take the bottom step on the podium mind you as having lost half my team I thought I was doomed. Tao saved the day for me though! Now if only I hadn't replaced Arnaud Demare with Michael Matthews at the last minute.....

Not bad considering I lost 4 riders (1 crash, 2 corona, 1 team withdrew)
Did anyone finish with a full team?

Endo just flicks her hair and explains stupendous lead by saying she lost 4 team members over the course of the Giro

I think I was 3 down by the end, I can't believe anyone managed a full team, carnage!

Well done to those on the podium. My team was just a shambles by the end. Only 7 months to go before we do it all again!

Ooh, thanks. I shall endeavour to do it tonight. I've been a bit occupied organising some real life bike races and had actually forgotten the Giro started this weekend!
