'Dale Posted April 24, 2012 Share Depends, often you will get a delayed broadcast after the footy, but if its a Queen stage they do often broadcast it live. Especially on weekends, where the big stages are often scheduled, football get priority in Italia. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tiny K Posted April 24, 2012 Share .....and while wasting some time on looking for the final teams and start list I found this little climb which will feature on the penultimate day "The Passo dello Stelvio" finishing on the summit for the first time in the history of the event. I expect snow, and a great day out. http://www.grassyknolltv.com/2012/giro-d-italia/stelvio2002.jpg That pic has no words to describe how amazing it looks!

GrumpyOldGuy Posted April 25, 2012 Share I cant wait, love the Giro.Basso wil flake out wil have to wat and see who steps up. Yeah, my fav as well, good tough racing, and minimal PR bull. If Basso gives it a miss, I dont see how Liquigas cant send Nibs, Italian Company, Italian Race, Italian team, Italian contender (Basso or Nibs), surely they will want to compete for a podium and the Maglia Rossa.?

Great race although some people think that 1 x TDF is worth 10 x Giro. Sad but true. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, dont understand that, far too much PR and media hype for me at the TDF, as a spectacle the Giro is, in my opinion, streets ahead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

'Dale Posted April 27, 2012 Share Spartacus crashed out of the Classics.The Schleckies not showing any threat in Ardennes Classics.Now this for the RNT team : Jakob Fuglsang will not be able to ride the Giro d'Italia 2012 due to knee problems. The RadioShack-Nissan rider did not start Friday's third stage of the Tour de Romandie because of the knee pain. He has been diagnosed with an inflammation of the articular capsule and ligament of the left knee. He first noticed it two weeks ago at an altitude camp in Sierra Nevada, Spain. "I am very disappointed," Fuglsang said. "The Giro was my big objective for this year. Yesterday I had so much pain in the last 40K, I was just miserable. At that point I realized that it might be the end of my Giro dream. Moreover I was already running behind my schedule after the scaphoid bone fracture in the Tour of Catalunya."
