Giro 2019

Not without paying

you said you had Sky.
I've had Sky and BT and received it. Now I'm on PlusNet TV which has it.

[Stagger]

Yeah we do have sky but can only get sports up to 409 says we don't subscribe to Eurosport.

If you haven't got Eurosport, hopefully you can get Quest. Highlights are on at 7.00 pm.

[Stagger]

Brilliant Pete.
Recorded series on Quest HD

Tom Dumoulin is my pick for winning.

I'm going with Roglic. Looking really hot so far this season.

Eurosport youtube channel often has catch-up has highlights. I think the GCN facebook page may as well.
Yates has a new ballsy attitude which is interesting, maybe he's been in with the sports psych. Will Il sanguinacho volante last 2 days longer this year?. Roglic the form horse, Nibs the old stager, Lopez to light it up in the mountains but too much TT for him? (strong climbing team backup.) Dumoulain playing it cagey but knows how to peak and race to his best. Should be interesting (when they hit the mountains in 13 days time!

(Last year I was doing a lot of writing at work so I watched the entirety of the Giro and Tour on Eurosportplayer. Doubt the same will be feasible this year!)

[Stagger]

3 time trials and his ability to climb are my reasons

[PeteS]

Thanks for bringing this to my attention, Pete. As an ex racing cyclist without any sports/entertainment subscription this has been much appreciated. Freeview channel 37 worked for me

No problem! 😁

None of us saw Carapaz coming. I don't thing even Nibali or Roglic did as they let him get away just over a week ago to gain a minute on a benign stage; just playing silly buggers with each other.
I think it could be quite close at the end of today and Roglic and Nibali will be looking back at that day.

It's been a good 3 weeks of racing though. My favourite stage was 18 with Cima winning 8 from the breakaway by about a bike length from the closing sprinters.
