Those pink shorts are horrific.
As are the socks.
He looks like a phallus with that helmet on.
Also: he needs a haircut. That’s at least 4W poking out of his “aero” lid. May as well attach one of those rubber punk rocker strips to it
Maybe finally; forks didn’t get the pink treatment. they left them red. Rookie error.

The shorts are awful and don’t go with the jersey.
They look like a closer match to the points jersey, which Pog was also leading. Not sure if that was a deliberate statement

Oh. Yeah.
What’s today’s parcours?
Although I don’t suppose it matters.
Pog for the win.

There’s a bit of a lump in the middle and then it’s very flat to the finish.
It “should” be a day for the sprinters

The intermediate before the climb could be interesting, but cresting the top should have the winners group.
Who is the best descender?
Not sure after yesterday it will be a sprint finish…

We he was wearing ciclamino shorts with the Maglia Rosa?
That’s definitely a red card

Looks like the whole peloton was demoralised by that, very tentative break away…

Let’s all copy the pros yeah?
Oh. Wait.
It’s like bikes are spec Ed with 172.5mm cranks only for us to be told to go buy 165mm ones instead.
More keeping people in business conspiracies.

Well that finish wasn’t a repeat of yesterday but something in the water on the buses I think.

Today’s stage had “breakaway win” written all over it
Apparently Pog’s mismatched shorts and jersey were provided by Castelli and the UCI objected, which is why he was in black shorts yesterday and pink shorts today

Was shouting for Valgren there, that would’ve been a fairytale finish.

Cor, glad I caught the last ten minutes of the highlights tonight.
For a few years now, is the Giro better entertainment than le Tour?

Man it looked nice riding through Tuscany, maybe my goals are shifting from racing to riding in nice places…
Good result too, new talent incoming!

Cav won in Hungary today against Welsford, Viviani & Groenewegen. Perhaps not the depth of sprinters that’s at the Giro, but heartening to see.

What is it with the Italians and TTs with a big climb at the end?
What’s wrong with a good old dual carriageway course with lots of HGVs?
