Let's start this, hoping to listening some good music...

If I remember well, in 2014 the European Games was boardcasted by Sky Italia

Some news... Pozzovivo suffered a serious injury and fractured his wrist, tomorrow's departure is at risk, Dani Navarro will miss the tomorrow's stage too after a muscle injury. Not any injuries for Kotchekov and Haller after the crash. Landa called Yates retarded and say that he pushed him during a roundabout making him fall

FIL sent me the prizes after months... probabily you need just to wait

I watched the game and Italy continue to play a bad hockey Bernal was just amazing, but he can't win alone...

Dumoulin will lost 3 minutes...
