Two big races
« on: May 10, 2015, 08:25:16 AM »
The Giro started yesterday and the Tour of California (TOC) starts today. Whose your favorite for each?

I'm watching Hesjedal for the Giro. The TTT was yesterday and he's already .53 down.

Talansky for the TOC. Of course, I'm still unhappy Horner's team didn't get an invite.

Cav and Sagan are facing off in the TOC which should be fun to watch.

Cool! I'll have to poke around and see if I can find coverage.

This is from yesterday. One of the Hincapie kids took the stage win, the overall lead, and the mountain jersey. Of course, I don't know him from adam but since he's on the Hincapie team I'll claim him as local.

That stage win was fun to watch.
I enjoy those as much as watching sprint finishes.

Lone break aways can be amazing. I'll never forget when Ben King did it her in Greenville at Nationals. I never thought he'd stay away and I was very wrong.

Contador separated his shoulder but has managed to stay in the race and hold on to the pink jersey. If he'd just ditch the pistol I'd consider rooting for him.

Kudos to the stage winner, but that was an amazing effort by Sagan.

I am so far behind.  So much else going on right now and I just can't keep up!

Great win -- but I can't get used to him not wearing lime green.

It seems the guy who pinched a podium girl inappropriately has learned a thing or two about PR and could teach his new boss.

Any chance this is a cultural difference and Tinkoff isn't really an ass?

Peter has grown up a lot since then, and I like it

He's no Cancellara or Jens yet, but he has potential to be a solid fan favorite; the wheelies help

I agree.

And Tinkoff is an ass who is used to getting his way.

I wish I could afford my own top cycling team.  I'd give way better interviews.
