Giro d' Italia 2014

One for the doctors out there in hubland... How can inhaling a noble gas stimulate the growth of EPO and testosterone?

 

Xenon and Argon are both banned. Seems bizarre that a gas that does not react with anything causes a reaction in the body....

It must cause thinning of the oxygen and stimulation of EPO production in the body, kind of an altitude effect, I presume.

Uran for the win, if the road dries up.

 

Doubt it unless he gets favourable weather. Evans will take it.

lots of rain, course still wet, all taking the technical switchbacks very very slowly...

we've had our first crash of the day

 

Tobias Ludvigsson has crashed. Wet descent and he's gone over the barriers. He was pushing it and was well placed but that's really sad to see. We'll bring you more once we know the situation.

he still down and flew a long way over the barriers

 

 

He's about 20 metres from the road and at least 10 metres from his bike

Yoh!!

 

He was also far from medical support.

Eish.

The road looked straight though.

The roads are dry in some places but really wet in others and Tobias Ludvigsson came into the corner with too much speed. He tried to rescue the situation by running wide but he clipped the barrier and went over the side of the road. There's a bit of a drop too.
