Giro d' Italia 2014

In related news, Dan Martin aiming for TdF as he resets his season

I was thinking just this... Dan will surely grab a stage victory in Le Tour.

Must say I liked the technical chicane bits at final few kms of Stage 3

Far more dramatic than a 'let's line up the sprint trains and release the sprinter'.

 

How Kittel took that victory was masterful.

 

Who knew Ben Swift had sprinting talents - must be the surname then?

Ben has been very impressive all season, goodness knows where he was hiding before 2014?

These commentators are hilarious. I love them.

Agreed, and they have a serious 'man crush' on Kittel!

Dan Martin is building on his GC palmares and wants to be a regular top 10er, then eventual podium winner, I reckon.

He's certainly capable and well supported at GS.

These commentator(s) aren't the best during the stage; however they make up for it in the final 2 - 3 km

The main commentator (if I'm not mistaken) is Carlton Kirby, supported by ex-pro Dan Lloyd who retired a couple of years ago.

 

Mr. Kirby also has a twitter account, which he's very active on. I really enjoy his commentating, quite refreshing - even during those long sections where nothing is really happening - he knows how to fill the gaps with some amusing banter.

The reason I've wasted gigabytes of data over the past years to listen to great commemtary.

 

Carlton Kirby is great, pity Sean Kelly is not with him on this feed. David Harmon is another really good caller.

 

Well done SuperSport for dropping PnP.

Lingering around the bottom of fantasy mini league, I was playing the long game, but think it is going to be a very long one.

 

Kittel is continuing where he left off. Hopefully both he and Cavendish will be on top form for the Tdf.

 

The Tour of California was also exciting and never racking.
