Last year I became a super fan of this race. As much as I love the Tour, I think the Giro is a much harder race and less of a circus.
I am enjoying the Giro yet again this year and was on the edge of my chair
most of this morning watching Stage 14.
I am very disappointed and sad all-many of the sprinters left this race, I am not sure Cav and Petachi all deserve my respect after they bailed. Seems a half-assed approach to being a pro cyclists. You are given an opportunity to ride/race, well, grow a pair, man - and race your bike.
I still think someone is riding themselves into too much attention and will be removed from racing at the 2011 Tour. I'll give you one guess. Top level athletes can't consistently (day-to-day) ride away and I mean ride away from the rest of the pack. It's just not that possible. Additionally, Alberto is just not that smart.
The 2011 Tour of California is on this week as well, I've been glued to the TV-versus this week watching the coverage, reducing my nightly sleep. It's been great and I am super stoked for Horner to be leading. His ride 2 days ago and his TT efforts were top notch for a 40-year-old. He's always been one of the smartest Pro peloton riders and certainly deserves the overall win over RobotLevi. T.Phinney is riding himself into a top 10. Hope he's hitting the TDF this year!
On another note, 60 Minutes this Sunday will highlight some old and new information from Tyler H and Landis about the fact LA is a doper, was a doper, and asked others on his teams to be dopers. I am not a hater of LA, just a realist. He's been jingling the key's
