Giro 2018 "contains spoilers"

[Crackle]

Dumoulin's options are limited today but I think the real danger comes from Pozzovivo. He looked very strong yesterday. If Sky stress the peloton and Pozzovivo climbs aboard, I can see Yates blowing.

Unfortunately, Yates is the only one I can see blowing from the top four. Pozzovivo is well motivated. He made being captain for the Giro part of his contract deal, so he's going to go for it as is Froome. Dumoulin is strong but I think he'll lose time on the next two days.

It's going to be exciting, I'm off to the shops now before it all kicks off.

Dishwash tabs, milk, humus, and other assorted necessities, nothing exciting.

Humus! And you say it's 'nothing exciting'! Or is the 'nothing exciting' only relating to the other unnamed items on your shopping list?

Hummus is a staple for me. Just had half a toasted panino topped with hummus and smoked salmon. The other half of the panino was Roquefort topped with hummus. And the last of my coffee.....

Roquefort and humus is a new one on me. Sounds intriguing. Might try it.

Just a little Roquefort and you end up with a rather luscious rich cream cheese. Now there's a recipe tip that you won't hear on Eurosport.

Hummus and cycling.Living the dream !

Smaller frames are stiffer and lighter, apparently.

I once rode Elia Viviani's bike (stop me if you've heard this one before) and it was very strange - smaller frame than I would normally ride but with a stupidly long stem and seatpost to make it fit.

 

[smutchin]

What did he think of your bike?

He said "La tua bici e molto bella!" but I don't speak Italian so I don't know what that means.

I think it means "Have you got any hummus?"
