Giro d' Italia 2021

What class. Takes off his rain jacket to show off the maglia rosa over the line. What a rider!

Revealing his mountain bike pedigree, he removes his Castelli cape on the wet town centre pavé and displays that beautiful leader's jersey.

What a bike racer, Bernal is.

Jeepers this has turned out to be a pretty rubbish giro day.... In many aspects

I think its a good typical Giro day

Probably the biggest losers of the day:

Yates is suffering and finishes at 2:36.

Vlasov finishes 2:12 down on Bernal

 

Well, apart from Remco. Over 20 minutes down at the top of the Giau.

Lost count how many times I fall asleep watching this today, shame that they had to ride in miserable weather and cancel the best parts of today’s stage

On that wet disrupted note, the dreaded void appears that all fans will now have to stare into - its the 2nd rest day tomorrow. ????

Such a pity we couldn't see the action for a long while !

The 'in all aspects' may have been premature.

But we lost half a great stage, and couldn't watch the biggest GC shakeup.

Mega disappointed for my viewing pleasure

The group must have all agreed to autograph a cap or something for this Eritrean if he does all the work. 

I'm going to assume you didn't mean it to be as derogatory as it unfortunately came out.

"..this Eritrean" is only 26 and is riding his 5th Grand Tour. Personally I think that marks him as a fairly seasoned professional.

Fair to say he is a very popular rider with a huge following.... the fact that he is so humble and also very articulate ( also in English) does him no harm either.
