To much sad news at the moment.http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/cycling/39677856
Terrible news. At the same time makes you think how fortunate the Giant riders were last year. RIP Michele.

Your right with Valverde and Kwiatkowski. Both in great form and to be fair must be the two favourites going into the race. Dan Martin can never be counted out as well.@aussiespursguy who are you lumping on tomorrow now that Gilbert's withdrawn? Hard to look past Valverde and Kwiatkowski on current form, but Dan Martin has to be in with a shout, and Orica have got a very strong squad for the race.

Orica have indeed named a very strong squad. I was actually surprised how strong! My heart would love to see Gerro get his second, but with Albasini, Kreuziger and the Yates twins I'm guessing they have multiple options depending how the race pans out.
I wouldn't count Matthews out either IF he is there at the end.
I know he has had a busy season already but surprised Sagan isn't racing. I would have thought this tailor made for him?
37 on Tuesday! Really not showing any sign of slowing down. Simply one of the greatest ever.He's something like one Ardennes victory short of Merckx now...
For the first time in years we are not getting it free to air. So disappointed. Hope you can keep things updated @nightgoat
Thanks for that. We have been very fortunate over here that SBS has been so committed to cycling over the years. All the spring classics, all 3 grand tours, California, the Dauphiné, world and Aussie champs. I'm guessing this year the rights for the Giro were to hard. Pity. One of my favourites because its always so hard!What a shitter! If it's any consolation, free to air coverage of cycling in the UK is basically restricted to the Tour, the Worlds and the three main UK events - Tour of Britain, Tour de Yorkshire and RideLondon. Pretty much everything else is only on Eurosport.
I think they post streams on /r/peloton/ on Reddit and there's usually a bunch of highlight videos on here http://www.steephill.tv/giro-d-italia/ (although the layout of that site would make it tricky to find without inadvertently finding out the results...)
Great article on "Dumpgate"
