Yes – I saw quite a lot of the Giro. In fact on the day they finished at the top of the 22% climb I actually bunked off work, claiming I was ill ,for the afternoon to watch it live, as our video recorder is broken. My boyfriend was at home anyway and when I got back he’d done a huge salad with mozzarella cheese, olives and Italian beer. It was excellent! ( I really hate my job right now.)

As for pretty in pink – what did he look like! (lol) Did you see he’s sprayed his hair red/pink as well. There’s some cool photos on cyclingnews.com.
