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.

So good.

Yep, everyone should stand completely still when spectating bike races. Preferably from down a bank or better yet, on television.
134km tomorrow, this is the final 10km, love this bloody race.
@brett
Have you ever even SEEN a bike race? They're brusing up against fans - or vice versa - constantly.
*brushing
Anyway, I don't think Nibbles and Chavez did anything wrong, so we're in agreement. Boofhead.
@piwakawaka
Sweet, huh? And it looks to me like that's after 50+ km of climbing, in a 134km stage. Kruijswijk not being in racing form puts a dampener on it, but it is still all up for grabs and should be exciting racing.
@stooge
the race is about recovery now, a cracked or broken rib at 2700m? Fuck that shit. Those hurt when you take a deep breath...
@piwakawaka
Yeah, if he rides at all it'll be about finishing I guess. I didn't mean it's up for grabs Kruijswijk, but that the podium is still up for grabs. There's less than 2 minutes between Chaves, Nibali, and Valverde. I don't think Valverde. I didn't think Nibs could pull out a ride like he did before the stage last night, so I'm not writing anyone off, given the profile of this stage.
Wow. Just...wow. #sharkbites.
