I surely hope that Hesjedal will keep his current form up, even though the Italians in particular should be much better than today.
It will be quite a show, especially that last mountain stage!

I will only be seeing 3 more stages live, at best, but I am excited for the outcome of the race.
If you-know-who were to you-know-what, I would literally be the happiest person on the forum.
I dont want to jynx anything

I'll miss Nibbles so much in stage 17. It should be awesome anyway, being Basso a crap descender who makes Andrew look like Savol... oh well, maybe not that much. But still crap.

I hope we see more attacks from the likes of Schleck, Pozzo etc. this week. Today's stage had so much potential but unsurprisingly failed to live up to it  |

Great ride of the sky boys. I wonder if Gustav Larsson is still thinking he can achieve top 10. I hope there would be a Miracle and Rujano is going to have a great third week for my fantasy team. |

Today will be interesting I think. I reckon the stage win will go to a break again. Without time bonuses, the favourites wont really care about the stage wins. At least I get that feeling.
Also think Pozzovivo will gain some time on the other favourites. Scarponi, Basso and Rodriguez doesn't look great to me at all.

Sporza already reported the shoulder problems yesterday. He was suffering from them since stage 12 (the flat stage where he got dropped).

I find that so stupid, what's wrong with winning a stage?

honestly think that Rodriguez/Pozzo is a sure banker for stage16, it seems made for them |

Given that it is just Bonnafond and Rabottini up there, I wouldn't count on it anymore

In that case, I withdraw my previous statement.

Danish Television (TV2) received a MASSIVE complaint from me today.
I am paying for 4 of their channels, and despite of advertising to follow the Giro this year, they have decided to not show todays stage on the regular TV2 because of a baptism of a secondary prince's 3rd or 4th child. The TV2 sportschannel is showing a secondary division soccer match, while the "Youth Channel" is showing non stop failure-comedy-soap-serie "Joey". The mature channel (Charlie) is showing the little doctor on the priary, which aired sometime in the early 70's.
On the website they announced that the stage could be watched online, on their Sputnik Channel. But they demanded money to watch that, despite that they are capable of making a specific episode, TV show or sporting event available for free.
Amateurism as it's very high! And I bet they will come out, after the race and say "We tried following the race, but it wasn't as succesful, as we hoped so we cannot show it nex year".
So if you're danish, and agree. Give them a complaint!
Eurosport again. Pff!
