HappyMartin Posted May 10, 2016 Posted May 10, 2016 I'm sitting in my office supposed to be working. Instead I'm on the Hub and in the background I can hear the Giro on the TV in the lounge. Going to take willpower to keep working.
ScottCM Posted May 10, 2016 Posted May 10, 2016 One of the riders that could be in contention today is Arnaud Demare. Despite not yet winning a stage, the Frenchman has been making headlines in the past few days with the news that his Milan-San Remo victory is under investigation. His team manager Marc Madiot has responded to the news, saying that he's not worried about the investigation at all.
Bonus Posted May 10, 2016 Posted May 10, 2016 My tv commentary is in Spanish so I can only type what I see!
ScottCM Posted May 10, 2016 Posted May 10, 2016 Fabian Cancellara and Matteo Tosatto having fun out on course with Cancellara giving Tosatto a gift of a pine cone. Well, it's the thought that counts. For those whom don't follow Fabian on twitter, yesterday he said he's finally over the flu, now he just needs to get the power back in his body
tombeej Posted May 10, 2016 Posted May 10, 2016 Nippo are desperate to close down the attack or at least get a rider in it. Their case has made for a fast start to the stage. Yip, as I mentioned, the smaller teams like to target these types of stages. I can only imagine how their DS is screaming in their ear pieces about the fact that they missed the break!

Bonus Posted May 10, 2016 Posted May 10, 2016 Now it is Rosskopf that has a go but Boem sails past him. Rosskopf is second over the KOM with Mohoric in third. Brandle couldn't keep up with his breakaway companions and sets his own pace to the top.
ScottCM Posted May 10, 2016 Posted May 10, 2016 15:20:58 CESTMikel Landa is making his way back to the peloton with the help of Mikel Nieve. He must have had a mechanical problem. There's no panic for the Spanish rider and he easily makes it back.
