serious gaylord posted:To be fair, aside from the length of the stage he shouldn't have any real problems since its pretty flat. There are no major climbs yeah, but I am fairly sure that Astana and Sky will drill it up the two lumps at the end of the stage just to see if Bertie can handle the heat.

That arm break. Im sitting here looking at him on the ground and the initial angle just couldnt be computed by my brain. Oh, hes just propped up on his elbow, might be winded. But something doesnt look right. Why is his right elbow on his left arm because it cant work any other way unl...

Tyler Hamilton managed to ride for two weeks on the Tour with a broken collarbone (and tonnes of EPO), I'm sure Contador will be fine.

Contador has  started the stage. According to journalists hes running much lower tyre pressures and looks in a lot of pain.

I highly doubt he keeps the jersey with that injury. Pain like that distracts. Better yet, if he can't rest it he'll suffer from it for all three weeks.

Is there anywhere to watch Giro coverage online? I don't really need live coverage but a ~25m recap of each day would be awesome.

After the stage is over you can generally catch a last km video and last 10km video, along with other highlights.

My US cable package has BeIN Sports, which is fine unless the recording runs long. My Giro coverage today stopped 8k from the finish, I had to go try looking for an upload. I took a look on EuroSports' website -- how do I sign up for that?

Not sure if anyone has picked up the role yet but I usually just search something like "giro stage 6" and then limit the search to today and over 20 minutes. Usually get a hit starting an hour or so after the stage finished but sometimes longer. Worst part is there is no guarantee it is in a language you understand! Cycling fans is solid for live coverage.

It should do, but a quick google of 'Will eurosport player work in x' will answer it.

Sagans missed out on holding the jersey by 2 seconds. Time bonus for the sprints tomorrow and will win if he finishes 3rd or higher.

Its a loving horrible race that gets worse every year, the route depends on which towns they can con into paying them to host finishes, instead of what would make for good scenery and racing. It needs to die.

I think they could pull it off, In a lot of tour mountaintop finishes the riders have to ride back down after the stage to the hotel or team bus
