2013 Giro d'Italia

[find_bruce]

I have to pace myself this year, what do people think are the must see stages this year?

[singlespeedscott]

The ones that SBS are going to live telecast. Set up the T-box for record. Have a sleep and watch it when you get up.

Apparently they are having a lot of fun trying to open the road up to Galibier 15 days earlier than normal... Being snowing heavily for the last week or so... Winter doesn't want to finish this year

[JohnJoyner]

Stage 8 - 55km TT
Stage 10 - Steep climbs
Stage 14 - Sestriere
Stage 15 - Galibier
Stages 19 & 20
All should be cracking stages I think.

I'm l;ooking fwd to as many stages as possible.

My favourite stage from last year was the Stelvio stage !!!

Man, I want to ride that mountain some time !!!

Which side are they racing up this year? From Prato Allo Stelvio?



or Bormio?

Just checked the route for the Giro 2013. They continue over and are descending the Prato side!

Cyclingnews agree with you - their top 5 stages
Stage 8 - Gabicce Mare-Saltara, 55km. Individual time trial
Stage 10 - Cordenons-Altopiano del Montasio, 167km - Sadly not on SBS
Stage 15 - Cesana Torinese-Galibier, 150km
Stage 19 - Ponte di Legno-Val Martello, 138km
Stage 20 - Silandro-Tre Cime di Lavaredo, 202km

I particularly liked their comment on stage 8

Short of giving time bonuses for sideburns and swearing in press conferences, RCS could hardly have issued a more blatant invitation to Bradley Wiggins to come and fight for pink than this 55-kilometre time trial

Steephill.tv will always provide links to a few different streaming options.

Any idea why SBS just showed Stage Three of last year's Giro as in their nightly highlights show? Because there has to be a reason, right??

I was wondering the same thing. Perhaps they think we're all idiots and won't notice.

Thank God someone else noticed, I thought I was hallucinating.

Message scrolled at the bottom of the screen at the start - they didn't get the feed for the scheduled show in time.

The Giro actually charges more than the TDF and unfortunately their budget only streaches so far. Especially as ASO offers the larger package.

I had the opportunity to talk Mike Tomalaras in regards to this at the TDU a couple of years ago.

phew. this is what I was coming here to check out. massively confused.

[MarkG]

Yeah same here. Someone stuffed up!

[dalai47]

Wasn't unintentional. Like I already said above - Message scrolled at the bottom of the screen at the start. They didn't get the feed for the scheduled show in time...

[MarkG]

Does anyone know where I can stream live to my android tablet from?

[dalai47]

Try the steephill.tv link above?

[MarkG]

Yeah they're all flash enabled so no good for android

[dalai47]

Sorry can't help then. Hopefully someone can suggest a suitable site...

[DavidTomic]

Yeah they're all flash enabled so no good for android

Since when has flash been a problem on Android?

[snark]

Yeah they're all flash enabled so no good for android

A couple of the links from steephill work for me on my HTC One S. I can see "Adobe Flash Player 11" in the apps section of the settings, but not in the play store. Maybe it's the Adobe AIR app? I use Dolphin instead of the inbuilt browser if that matters...

Cheers,
Simon.
