new shorts
show us the favourites 🙁
or hurry up and catch up
Yates doesn't look great
Looking forward to the highlights later
this is rubbish
Sounds like Bernal's giving it beans!
stopped watching, only so much finish line footage you can handle, get the scores at the end.
Who in their right mind decides to take their jacket off while riding on wet cobbles 200m from winning a race. Not good for my nerves!
No idea what actually happened after Bernal and attacked but Bernal is one hell of a rider.
Total class from Egan!!
Left to pick the kids up from school with 20k to go. Couldn't wait to get back to watch everything unfold...🤦
I've never been a Sky/Ineos fan but have been enjoying this new attacking philosophy. Ganna and Bernal have been awesome.

Yes I think I would have taken it off before the cobbles. Pure class for Bernal though. Very impressed to see EF stir things up, Hugh up from 5th to 3rd.

Impressive stuff from Bernal Yesterday shame we didn't get to see it 🙁
I hadn’t appreciated how close Barnet now is to GC. With 2 more mountain stages and a TT its going to be an interesting final few days.
fantastic images, kinda heightens the disappointment :/
I love how Romain was interviewed just after the finish line and when asked "so how do you feel having finished second" he looked surprised and said "NO! did I?" - he genuinely hadn't realised that only Bernal was in front. Really good to see him back up there
This is pretty cool too

I get why they couldn't broadcast any footage from the motorbikes due to the choppers and planes not able to fly, but don't get why they couldn't have carried on capturing the action to watch later and for the record?
They did, but collating it is not a quick job.
Thanks for that nbt
Stunning, what a ride to victory. I like the ambient sound there too, you can hear the sounds of the bike with no OTT commentary.

I've wondered about this too. Should be straightforward to record locally on the bikes to put together edited highlights later. Maybe it's not considered worth the faff.

Ah. Right, they do record it then (or some of it)?

Interesting no lightweight wheels, are they proving to be a bit "noddly" on descents ?
that's going to settle this years Giro then isn't it....
I can see some big gains and losses, some will crack, some will crack badly....
I've organised all my meetings for this morning and will be on do not disturb er, "editing a document" this afternoon...
pretty as a picture...
then into the red....
stopppppppp. I'm envious !
no 😉
the climbs
mass charge start 🙂
Love the Dolomites. Stayed in Canazei in 2016, actually popped the question to the now wife on the Alpenrose chairlift that goes over the Passo Pordoi. Good times 😎
I'm a day late, but happy Froome at Sestrière anniversary.

😍
some well dodgy goings on in the peloton, 4 riders sitting up at the front in the middle of the road with the rest of peloton coming on fast !!
it's crazy day again....
love it when the "smaller" teams haven't read the script
Here's a question then.
Has this Giro been a little weak/easy in terms of competition anyway for Bernal and INEOS ? Missing some of the people like Pogacar and Roglic for example has made this one a bit easier ? Obviously it's been tough in terms of weather.... but it hasn't exactly been a Vuelta in terms of days of climbing has it ?
bike exchange chasing the break down....
remco down, going to continue.... after a hard ride to get back on
