They'll need them. I would need hiking boots.
I am watching stage 16 right now. It should be good. I love Sean Kelly's voice.Sarah

There's a local guy in Italy who has been posting photos of the road work. He tried to ride it yesterday and found that his tires were sinking a few milimeters into the new pavement. He's working on getting video posted today. You can check it out at http://igor.ustariaposta.it/.

Glad someone mentioned the Giro.
I watch all the Tours on Eurosport. (Tho' what with "life" I do not see every single minute)
Cheaper than a psychologist!
Basso was *brilliant* today
I have been looking forward to stage 17 too

Have had to upgrade my broadband account to watch the Giro online!
I can't believe that despite being a sports-mad country, New Zealand hasn't even mentioned the Giro once in it's daily half-hour sports round-up after the news!
I miss Eurosport!!
Even with a 34-27 compact combination, that's bloody impressive for a 5km climb of 20+% incline!!
Those guys are mahcheens!Life is Good!

I'm so rooting for my boy Basso to win this one
