I hadn't realized until now but the Giro is on TV this year for Canadians on Rogers Sportsnet1.
For those that see this it starts in 50 minutes.
Thanks! I had no idea, that pretty awesome!
Today on TSN they talked about Wouter at the Giro, the reporter butchered his name, but I was surprised to see them mention it. |

It's a shame Leopard is pulling out( they have a good reason), but do you think this wouldve happened had the Schlecks been there and set it as a goal? |

It is what it is.

Yes, it would have happened anyway. A team mate has died and they all feel like shit, Schlecks or not, so it's understandable that they do not feel like staying in the race.
Anyway, the race begins again today, and it should be an exciting stage. |

I'm thinking Moreno. Don't know why, his name just keeps appearing before me. |

Visconti seems a nice guess for me. |

Look out for Bakelants today. Not for the stage win, but for a top 10. |

Martin Kohler is solo in front with ~7 min now.
The Strade Bianchi sections are from
| Sector 1: km 152,1 - km 159,6 | | Sector 2: km 163,8 - km 165,8 | | Sector 3: km 166,5 - km 176,0 |
Also the 2nd mountain sprint is on this section.
Moreno is definitely a name for me today. He looked strong so far. Visconti might give it a try, too but I think he will take tomorrow`s stage. |

I think Nordhaug is going to have a shot at this stage. |

Take a look once more on his results and performance this year. He has been very strong this year.

Visconti said to the Gazzetta dello sport he had a knee problem, so I think he might not try anything today...
Team Europcar !!
RIP Wouter

Only the norwegians talk about Nordhaug. It is like how they talked about Hagen the last two years.
Nordhaug have been sick though and will probably not stand a chance today.
I dont know who i think will win today. To early to see who is in good form. Should be an exciting finish though weither a breakaway or the big group gets to that last short climb first. |

uhm 11th Place in Crit. International... wow 
ok, he has improved a bit. But still not as much that i'd call him a contender for this stage. |

It would seem that Nordhaug is the new Norwegian superstar. Poor Thor. :/  |
