I like the subtleness of this pic. Petacchi gives Cavendish "the look" at 40+mph, one foot from the barrier.

On the other hand, I'll bet Lance can actually spell.

"Watch this, kid"

or

"I'm gonna go ahead and win this one, kay?"

:rolleyes:

Here it is fixed. I will make sure to have proper grammar in all Bikeforums.net posts.

"Lance looked ridiculous in those new glasses Oakley has."

You have been pretty grumpy lately. What's the deal?

?.

They actually had 2 hours of daily coverage while the race was going on a few weeks ago. I would strongly suggest the Tivo.

I love my TiVo. I have a season pass to "cycling" (since most every race like the tour de france, giro, ToC, tour down under ect are all under that name) and it will record anything with the keyword cycling in it too. It is very nice.

Coverage has been really great through Universal. That and my twitter feeds from SteepHill/Cyclingnews/Touredetweets. Great finish today, sprint by Petacchi was awesome. Saved a couple nice pictures of it.

Gotta ride early tomorrow to catch the start :thumb:

Stage 2 is up on their web site for us cable/satellite impaired folks.

I'm really impressed with Universal's coverage so far.

I'm going to call Farrar out as a Giro stage winner. I think we're all sick of him being the eternal 4th (or 5th).

Looked like Pettachi used Cav's leadout man to box him in when he jumped, and then at the line moved left just a bit and prevented any throw for the line. Seemed like a cagey win by Pettachi.

emphatic +1

I think you were just overjoyed that The Crybaby got nipped at the line.

that too, but the technical aspect of the course made for 3 laps of tense viewing.

CVV is o.u.t. pity.

finally getting to watch it - and this happens as soon as I had time to turn it on.

I missed it on the video - what happened?

Wheel touch, I think. It showed him on the ground holding his back.

Big catching up for a lot of guys. May not be a big sprint finish, eh?

Never mind.

oh cav

Man o man, he doesn't look good at all.

Petacchi x 2

Someone's Giro isn't going as planned.

ty movin up...i like how they skid stop to an end

yea he really needs it to be flat to do something.
