Football replays 6 out of 8 channels showing soccer repeats over and over all day long :cursing:

Not even the biggest soccer fan can watch 6 games at a time

OK, here's your weather forecast for the big day for Tuesday (the Gavia and Stelvio):

 

Today was cloudy, light winds, max. 2 degrees C.

 

For tomorrow (Monday) expect similar conditions, except that there's a 45% chance of rain. No snow forecast.

 

But not looking too comfy for the riders on Tuesday.

 

Weather forecast for Passo di Gavia on Tuesday 27 May:

 

The weather will be slightly unstable, thunderstorms possible.

 

An "86% probability of moderate rainfall, light sleet and snowfall and showers." So raining in the valleys and lower slopes, with light sleet and snowfalls in the mountains.

 

Max temp: 4 degrees Celsius.

 

Almost no wind at all.

So nothing at this stage to indicate any chance of the passes being closed :thumbup: .

Other weather sites saying there's going to be a bit of a breeze, so wind chill effect in play.

where do you play the fantasy team game?

But you would have needed to submit your team before the Giro started, so too late for this round.

 

We'l be doing the same for the TDF, but I want to look at another Fantasy League site - one that allows rider changes during the tour. The one we've got now doesn't, which is a serious pain.

That's your day off, man.

May the weather gods play nice now.

Oom Victor to you... :lol:

It was a brilliant dummy though

I will call him Oom if he 1) beats me on a bike

2) is older than me

 

He is way off on both. Victor it is...

 

I will call him Kaptein though.

Betting odds after today's stage

 

Nairo Quintana 6/5

Rigoberto Uran 9/4

Fabio Aru 9/1

Domenico Pozzovivo 12/1

 

Cadels has disappeared.

 

 

Seems like a great number of people also believe that the young colombian is going to eat the lead of the elder.
