Did anyone hear that chainsaw? "I'm gonna watch the Giro roadside this afternoon, what shall I bring? Some water, a can of beer, something to eat, and my chainsaw."

They're in Acre, the one from Assassin's Creed?

Belgians are mad and jealous Translated: "Now that they have a lack of football heroes, half the Dutch are walking around with a huge Tom Dumoulin erection."

Russian national team boycotts the KHL champions or what's going on there?

Sander Armee was stung by a wasp before the start. You almost don't see anything about it

Young German Anna Fernstädt has retired

Anna Fernstädt (skeleton), only 21 years and the reigning world junior champion.. https://www.facebook.com/annafernstaedt/posts/987957661363589

I'm still expecting Froome or, if he is indeed injured, Lopez to attack like madmen in the mountains, too much for Dumoulin.

For those interested: here it's 'Death Remembrance Day' today (where at 20:00 everyone is silent for two minutes), followed by 'Liberation Day' tomorrow on 5 May https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Remembrance_of_the_Dead https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liberation_Day_(Netherlands)

And another Astana win, this time in the second stage of the Tour de Yorkshire. Astana is not normal this year Superman Lopez is gonna win the Giro by 5 minutes.

Nah, Sunweb is clean #CreatingMemories #Hipsters

Hard to say...honestly I think the one week stage races are his best thing, but I'm very curious what he'll do in France this year.

Preparing for the Tour de France.

Not enough salbutamol for Froome.

Karsten Kroon is on fire: "I once had an Israeli teammate. He wasn't so good." The end.

I'm expecting LuLu Sanchez to go at least two minutes faster than Dennis

Bilbao Told you, Astana is gonna fly like crazy

He should be, nobody but the Giro organization wants to see him there, but he's there. It's absolutely shitty for the sport, but alright, enough has been said about it in recent weeks

Sioutsou fell as well and is on his way to the hospital.. Edit: And he's out

Superman has already crashed as well in the recon. That's already two of the three, four or maybe five main candidates down before the first stage (hopefully they're both ok)

That is Team Sky being Team Sky. They represent the worst of the worst in cycling and those are the people that are breaking the sport. I'm not gonna hope for crashes and injuries of course, but let's just say I hope they get some flat tyres or someone steals their bikes while they're sleeping

Rohan Dennis, Jos van Emden, Mads Pedersen, Tom Dumoulin....one of those

Arguments 1 and 6 The rest is rather serious allegations about the bribing. It'd be better to have stayed with that as arguments..
