Giro d'Italia 2011 - Week 1

Which reminds me, where was I when Weening won a stage and took the pink jersey? (+Kruijswijk the white jersey)

I should have spammed this topic full...

That is one part of the Crostis descent. Have a look from 2:50 onwards.

Geez it looks more like a walking path than a road.

It is a path and no road.

I hope things are better in that descent now...

I think it is doable for riders though with utmost carefulness. Pray to God Nibali won't try his crazy descending. But the cars will be by far the biggest problem here. That small white van barely 'fitted'.

I think no rider is dumb enough to descend in a crazy way in that stage, not after what happened to Wouter. Just wondering if they're going to put anything for protection?

I wonder what the organizers were thinking, are they trying to make it spectacular? I mean, I watch cycling and I love it, but on that day while I'm watching that descent I'm probably just gonna sit there and pray rather than relaxing with some amazing cycling performances. Sheesh, maybe it's just the Wouter crash that made me paranoid, but it seems that was needed to stop this madness.

There will be nets up on the most dangreous part of the descent, but this is about only thing we know so far concerning protection.

Those are sheer cliffs. Utterly ridiculous.

Hi, I just start to read you, that Crotsis its really dangerous, but, we are talking about proffesionals, i think everyone is paranoid with Wouter accident (even me).
Anyway if i'm not wrong the motorcyclist is going in wrong way, the cyclists will have that specific cliff at right, so that video is of the climb, no of the descent.

I am almost sure Nibali will try it (as he did at strade bianchi section),i hope he will not end going down the cliff headfirstCool

I have though Pfft

You won't find me cheering for, let's say a name, Pieter Weening. Even if he wins.

I only like Dutch riders if they have some kind of personality or charisma.


Fantastic weening!!!!!!

Yes yes yes yes yes

yeaaaaaaaaaaaah
