Laurent Fignon - Giro
Ladies and gentlemen, prepare for the Giro, 2016, starting in Apeldoorn, the Netherlands and finishing in Torino, Italy. Here is a provisional start list. The riders make the race so it should be fantastic racing, a race up the whole of the country, for three weeks, what’s not to love? The Giro usually has a crazy stage and we are unsure what this year’s edition holds in that category, maybe more racing at night, or on dirt, bring it on. The Shark, Landa, Malmerde, Uran Uran, even Red Ryder, and more, each have a decent shot at the over all.
We all know the drill, this race starts on Friday so keep your delgado monkey on a tight leash. Consult your personal oracles; there are bike frames, carbon wheels, V-kit and more for the winners of the season-long overall VSP. Further details can be found on the VSP page. Bon chance.

A-Merckx, Brother! A-Merckx!
What a race!! Stoked Nibbles is baring his teeth, but bummed my countryman Kruiswijk went down. Looks painful!
Looks like he had one moment of hesitation, stopped pushing on his inside drop, went vertical...then it was a drift into the bank. Amazing he hopped up that quickly after a pretty theatrical crash.
Amazing race! With Nibbles's ride today the podium is up for grabs tomorrow. Mind you, I think Stevie Shoulderpads is done (physically and mentally) and Bob deLux is too far down to hit the top 5. Nibs could win it tomorrow.
Why wasn't the Lotto team car near Kruijswijk? If you have your man in pink with no teammates near him, wouldn't you have one team car nearby?
I hope Zakarin is ok. He looked in a bad way lying there.

DNFucked!
My first and third pick are now second and fourth (like a lot of us here), @45 seconds back of their bogeys. Take your "vitamins" tonight, boys!
@wiscot
They said that he was talking and making sense. "Only" a collarbone fracture.
@xyxax
Perfetto!!! You, my friend, should be the The Keeper of the Lexicon!
@xyxax
Hold as you are boys. My best chance of rescuing something from this one!
@Buck Rogers
He's a lucky guy. Could have been WAY worse. Same for Stevie K - with shoulders like his, I'm surprised his collarbone didn't snap like a twig when he hit the wall o' snow.
Should be pretty epic tomorrow! My prediction: Nibs, the Chav, and Piti on the podium. Stevie K will have an awful day mores the pity, as without that crash I think he'd be in with a shout of victory.
Damn. One cool dude. He really pulled out an epic comeback ride. That was racing today.
