/cyc/ - Giro D'Italia Stage 2

http://inrng.com/2017/05/giro-ditalia-stage-2-preview-tortoli/

The Route: 221km inland and into the hills, this is a hard day on rolling roads but without anything too spicy. The Genna Silana pass is long but gentle, 3.2% and 19.6km in the roadbook but since it climbs before the intermediate sprint the road is more like 26km at 3.2% and in fact the steepest part of the climb is a kilometre at 6% right at the start. After that it’s often 3-4% on the way up, it climbs but being sat on a wheel helps so much

>The Genna Silana pass is long but gentle

heh

I'm not familiar with english terms for the Giro or cycling in any way, I literally just know "climb".
For better future posts, are the jerseys/shirts called in a particular way or Maglia Rosa etc are fine in italian?

>sbs

>>75735652

Could be Maglia Rosa or pink jersey or just leaders jersey.

Dishonest advertising. I was in both Jerusalem and Tel Aviv and there was no gf to hold my hand.

I'll be rooting for Mikel Landa, Rui Costa and Nairo Quintana :)

tfw no pink beer in Groesbeek this year.
But cup of tea at home is comfy too.

Eurosports commentators in Portugal are based as fuck, we have a french guy and two portuguese, 50km from the finnish line they bet on the winner of the stage, french guy always loses :)

>The Eurosport tracker thinks that the feedzone is an intermediate sprint

Pierre Roland lost 18 seconds, french commentator is dissapointed

But yeah, maybe it's too hot in general

>>75738374

Kelly just said it's clear skies at the finish. I don't like that heat. Even at 10C I wear shorts. Couldn't live somewhere where 20+ is normal

Nice question, actually there are low humidity in general during summer, so it's kinda tolerable even at 40°c.
It's not nice, but generally my best will always be 40°c with low humidity

Imagine the quality and intensity of climbing and downhill stages over 3000 metres of altitude

Dammit, Sam Bennett. that's my £2 down the drain.

I spent a lot of my childhood and teen summers in the warmest places in Europe, Crete, Antalya, Mallorca, south of Spain etc., but the most unbearable ever was July in Washington DC. The thing about it being a swamp is true, plus it had record temperatures, so like 38 C and 100% humidity.
Luckily I was only there for three days.

The humidity in Denmark is quite bad too.
