Giro 2012 Stage 16 mapGiro d'Italia 2012: Stage 16 Preview - Limone sul Garda to Falzes/Pfalzen 173 km
A gentler day in prospect after two tough days in the high mountains, and one on which the riders who have emerged as contenders for the GC will be happy to let others enjoy the limelight.
It’s the kind of stage on which those who harboured hopes of getting a high place overall but are no longer in contention for whatever reason might look to salvage something from the Giro, while the DSs of teams that haven’t managed to get their sponsors much camera time in the race to date will have ordered riders to make sure they get into the expected early break.
GT: It’s one of those that could be a sprint with a group of maybe 40 or 50 guys going to the line again. For us it could be Rigo (Uran) or Henao if they went in the move, it’s a day for that sort of climber with a bit of a kick.

Simon joined road.cc as news editor in 2009 and is now the site’s community editor, acting as a link between the team producing the content and our readers. A law and languages graduate, published translator and former retail analyst, he has reported on issues as diverse as cycling-related court cases, anti-doping investigations, the latest developments in the bike industry and the sport’s biggest races. Now back in London full-time after 15 years living in Oxford and Cambridge, he loves cycling along the Thames but misses having his former riding buddy, Elodie the miniature schnauzer, in the basket in front of him.
Obviously we need to improve flow for drivers! One more lane should fix it......

I have one of these and it's a nice bike. It went together well and was of good quality (as far as one can tell such things). It was all faced...
As I understand it, "immigrant" is "a foreigner coming to live in the UK" whereas "a Brit moving overseas to live" is an "expat"
Unless it's in a block of flats, IIRC.
I think it is time to start a thread about what other Fantasy Cycling Games are out there.
Does ISP mean integrated seat post? Surely the stiffness is irrelevant when the bike is on gravel with fat low pressure rubber? Not that aero...
And some of us have been cycling for 60 years, and are surprised by the number of electric motorcycles on the city streets and pavements. I still...
No - they're a more recent American import. We (UK) got them in 1876 and Europe waited until 1948 to get them (more specifically, in Stupinigi,...
