Just a collarbone for Zakarin? Those must be the only bones in his body, which would also explain his riding style.

the Dutch disease: not having a team capable of supporting you, see also: Dumoulin and the Dutch national football team.

If there's more than one way to do a job, and one of those ways will result in disaster, then he will do it that way.
Guess I'm definitely watching tomorrow. Good thing it's going to thunderstorm here anyway.

Apparently Kruijswijk cracked a rib. I really hope he manages to finish the Giro, but most of all that Nibali doesn't win

As I predicted, Valverde will get a podium spot and the Maglia Bianca.

During that entire descent, he must have been thinking, where the hell are my dickhead teammates when I need them?

Scapula too, or so I read on cycling tips.

Such an exciting stage, it had everything. This Giro has been pretty good in general anyway, I bet the tour is lame this year.

Everyone knows moto riders are a bit weird, but there must be some who can be trusted to ride competently around a bike race?

A moving bike crashed into a stationary photographer bike, which knocked them infront of the pack. 15-20 riders down and Stig Broeckx, who was hit by a motobike at LBL is apparently in a coma.

There's an open wine cave day in Geneva, solid day drinking and patchy 4G but still able to catch the Giro. Really hope Nib doesn't win.

Chaves just looks like hes dying when climbing I guess. Following the attacks well. Dutch lad with the name I can't spell going backwards and Valverde protecting that 3rd place.

Hes been soft pedalling for like 15 minutes. He'll have at least 1 km in him.

He said he'd help him if he needed it before the race and I'm glad he actually is.
