Join us now for a spectacular final stage of Il Giro d'Abruzzo on Eurosport, Discovery Plus and Max

Fun fact.

My dream job when I was 18 and starting Uni was exactly this one but then with the Rabobank team.

Never, after four unfinished studies and some odd jobs, could I have imagined cycling would be my day job now.

Albeit not this job :-)

Patrick Lefevere publishes that apology statement and avoids UCI fine.

There is a three-year probation

I will be in Leeds next weekend. Yes.

First time back in the UK since 2019. It’s been a while.

Wonder if I still speak the language?

Anyways:

What are the hotspots in and around Leeds. We have a car.

The eyes have it, the eyes have it.

With a close second for José, just whatever and shut it up 😂

⛰️🏁 ⏱️ PRATI DI TIVO (14.55 km, 7.05 %, 1026 m) | 🇮🇹 #IlGirodAbruzzo

2012 | 38:58 | Vincenzo Nibali
2013 | 38:23 | Chris Froome
2021 | 36:07 | Tadej Pogacar
2024 | 36:02 | Alexey Lutsenko

Lutsenko set a new record climbing time of Prati di Tivo.

Not a surprise, but no Wout van Aert in the Giro d'Italia. Christophe Laporte replaces him

In researching today's stage I found the Prato di Tivo website isn't exactly up to date 😂

Blijft Jasper Philipsen toch bij Alpecin-Deceuninck?

Beide partijen groeien naar elkaar toe. De Roodhoofts zitten momenteel in polepositie om Philipsen langer aan zich te binden. Zijn management laat weten dat de beslissing binnen de maand wordt genomen.

Rider interviews with glasses on. It’s a pet peeve of mine.

What do you think?

Trying to make sense of the geology of Fucino Lake but my Geology of the Tour de France buddies are filming in France so no geology for you today

That was chaotic and challenging finale as a commentator :-)

Thanks for watching.

In the end no Chris Froome at Giro d’Abruzzo but we do have Derek Gee with some unfinished business on Italian roads!

Different bed. Different company #nurseElla

Thi That Nguyen raced in Roubaix on Saturday and was a race in Thailand today!

Wow

Wow but let’s keep hope. Glad though that team management won’t rush things.
