Velominati Super Prestige: Giro d’Italia 2016

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.

    Every time you google something an angel gets kicked in the nards. Back when I was a kid, doctors had to study Latin in order to be erudite healers. "Alicui tamen faciendum est."

    Jesus, back to not saying anything and only appearing stupid.

    @Steampunk

    Angels don't have nards.  Didn't you learn anything in anatomy class?

    And erudite?  Yes, I am dite, thank you very much.

    @stooge Chavez? He’s no sprinter, he just rolled in as part of the bunch like the other GC guys.

     

    I’m calling it now, at some point in this Giro Kittel is going to take time on the rest of the bunch in a sprint cos the gap back to 2nd is so big.

    Damn, I meant Ewan. I was half asleep and got my wires crossed. Maybe Kittel will do it on 5?

    @Minnesota Expat

    Dude. How do you fall asleep 5-minutes before the finish of a flat stage?! Cheese and crackers. That’s when all the action happens. You must have small children at home and be sleep deprived.

    Anyway, the Etixx train was solid, unlike yesterday, it was fast and tight coming into the finish, and Kittel killed it. No one else was close. He has way bigger gears or something.

    Yep, I do have small children at home and yep, I've been sleep deprived for 3 1/2 years. Not the first time I've been confused, though it seems to be happening more frequently. Sent my eldest to Kindy with his pants on backwards and shoes on the wrong feet the other day. To top it off I put the handlbars on his little specialized hotrock on backwards that afternoon, though fortunately caught that one before he left the house.

    Changed them again? You'll never recover from -75 points.
