So I had another look at Phinney"s foot after reading this tweet...

 

Taylor Phinney@taylorphinney

You know...for my 3 crashes, the only real damage came from the broken spoke that impaled my ankle! Otherwise, I'm quite alright.

 

To think this 21 year old is still gonna ride with this injury for 3 weeks...

So much force goes through that ankle with every pedal stroke.

 

PROs = tough

 

:blink:

Hope the 15 man breakaway sticks today.

 

5 mins from the chasing wolves.

Uhm, maybe there's something 'magical' about the Maglia Rosa.

 

Navardauskas punctures.

Somewhere else in the world, the Amgen Tour Of California is starting tomorrow.

 

Strange how this can coincide each year with a Grand Tour.

No obvious threat to the GC favourites sitting in the breakaway.

 

:thumbup:

 

Not a hellova lot of time in it though.. 150 out of the 200 riders are within 5 minutes of the leaders..

So They definately wont be letting the break get to big a gap. But 15 men are big enough to make it count.

Today's stage sees the corsa rosa return to Porto Sant’ Elpidio exactly 20 years after Mario Cipollini’s victory in 1992.
