Hey Now!! Fun with the Giro, and a bit of rest…
Posted on May 25, 2007
I only skated once yesterday, solo. It was kind of nice, though not the hardest training. I’ll consider that a rest day. I will not be traveling to Korea, though several in the house leave on Wednesday. What’s new in TO? Does anyone have any news? How’s training going? What does the attendance look like at TISC? Is the racing group staying on form? How is the fitness group looking? Who’s coaching? How’s all that?
Who’s out there? Where are you skating? What races are coming up for you? Do you have a list of races you are doing? What’s your favorite?
Yesterday’s stage in the Giro was certainly the finest of this year’s Giro so far, seeing a Di Luca win, and his reclaiming of the Pink Jersey (Maglia Rosa). It was an incredibly tough mountain stage with nearly the first 100km all uphill. Leonardo Piepoli did a remarkable amount of work for his teammate Gilberto Simoni (Saunier Duval-Prodir) shattering the pack and leaving him to fight with Di Luca (Liquigas), Andy Schleck (CSC), Eddy Mazzoleni (Astana), and a struggling Daniano Cunego (Lampre) up the second mountain of the stage, the descent, and the last short climb into the finish. In the end it was a dog fight between Di Luca and Simoni on the last narrow and winding 1km climb into Briançon. It was a very exciting stage to watch. God bless EuroSport. We get the English feed at the house.
Today’s stage is an individual time trial, and should be exciting to watch. A few top names did not start yesterday’s stage, and the race seems to really be heating up amongst a very select few.
Things are great, just thought I should say it. Yay!
A-ski-doodle-pie.
