But signing up, showing up, and THEN complaining about the conditions is screwed up. You're right - a lot of money changes hand in this business. A hell of a lot more than I'll ever lay hands on. If it wasn't important enough to check out before they got there, then I'm sorry - it sure as heck makes them look like a bunch of primadonnas when they figure it out the day of.
you gotta be effing sh***ing me, you think these riders have enough time on their hands to check out every single stage to make sure it's not dangerous as ****?? i can't believe you are siding with the giro director... did you see that picture with the tram lines??? they are practically parallel to the riders direction!! just admit you are wrong.
