 ;D.  years ago the balloon placed at the various markers at the end of Procycling races were stuffed into a transit van.  Now each 1 has a motor home of it's own  ;D.  What a job.  Lovely scenery.  Getting to the site the evening B4, cooking, enjoying the view, sleeping - blowing up the appropriate balloon about an hour B4 the racers arrive .......... OK unless it rains of course  ::)

I do wonder where the technicians sleep if the balloons have the motorhome  ;)

I didn’t watch much of the Giro but I kept up to date with the leader, if Geraint is in good form this week I hope he makes to TDF team 🙂

Well it's begun.  WHOA what crashes too.  Stupid bl***dy woman, facing away from the peloton approaching her at over 35 mph: was hit by a cyclist 🚴‍♀️  which caused a domino effect  :o :o followed later by another crash with more 🚴‍♀️ s being tumbled ...........

It will be interesting 2 C how many being in the morning  :-\.  I suppose the positive is that the weather was dry!

Day 11 will be interesting  ;)

More news on Froome tomorrow, I’m sure a lot of the riders will be sore after coming off today, they were nasty crashes.  Shame Porte was caught up in it but at least Geraint wasn’t  :)
