Agreed. That green crane the most exciting thing I’ve seen recently on the coverage - you wouldn’t get me watching from up there!!

Well at least the Spanish lad had a good try seeing as he looked cooked.

The unofficial 6th Monument of the season tomorrow, the race of the white roads, Strade Bianche, from 1pm Eurosport/Discovery. Generally an exciting race this, and if the weather plays it’s part it looks spectacular too.

Will be my first chance to watch Pogacar race this season, and boy does he need to be good bearing in mind what we’ve already seen from Visma in general and Vingegaard in particular.
Looking forward to watching Del Toro too, as well as Pidcock, Thomas & Alaphilippe.
A shame the likes of MvdP, Remco, Van Aert not there, but still.

Looks like there’s been a fair bit of rain this morning, so no dust clouds today - which I’m sure the riders will prefer.

Ridiculous attack from Pog, some effort to see this home from 80k out

What a rider he is. We are so lucky to see him in action.
Are you watching Jonas?! ;-)

Pidcock said it was like riding in the grupetto trying to chase him.
What a ride.
What a rider.
Beautiful race.

What’s it on? On Eurosport2, where they have been showing it all week, they are showing some ITA cycling stage six.

Thanks, I have been out and I think it was a shorter stage and I’ve missed it:(
