Giro di Pez: To The Rooftop!

Thu, 15 May 2008 11:53:27 GMT

Message by Richard Pestes
It�s good to be back online from the press room here at the stage 6 finish in Peschici. After yesterday�s big journey clear across the country, I�m recharged and ready to join the fray, and once again today did not disappoint � starting with dinner last night, a ride along the coast this morning, and an awesome view point for today�s finish�

Giro �08 St 6: Visconti�s Big Break!

Message by Gordan Cameron
Aaah, we haven�t had one of these for a while! A Grand Tour peloton turns a blind eye as a monster escape screams up the road and rewrites the general classification. Somewhere, Claudio Chiapucci is smiling �.. as a younger Italian hero lives the dream.

Giro Di Adam: Happy High Road

Message by Edmond Hood
Whilst the rest of Scotland�s manhood watched Glasgow Rangers play Zinit Saint Petersburg in the final of the Uefa soccer Cup final, our man Ed Hood gave his cell phone account another hammering, as he interviewed High Road�s Adam Hansen on the day that Oleg Tinkoff�s dream finally came true, thanks to Pavel Brutt.

Giro'08 St.5 - Brute Force Gets It For Brutt

Wed, 14 May 2008 10:53:48 GMT

Message by Jered Gruber
It's not too terribly often that a break this early in a Grand Tour manages to go the distance, but it happened, and the finale was nothing short of spectacular as Tinkoff's Pavel Brutt managed to wrest free of his breakmates after David Millar's chain snapped just outside of the ultimo chilometro, just ahead of the ravaging field.

Giro di Pez: Expect The Unforgettable

Message by Richard Pestes
My drive from Agrigento to today�s start in Pizzo took close to 12 hours, the B&B had sketchy internet, and now I�m up the road in Cosenza, watching the stage end on tv� But chasing the Giro isn�t just about a bike race, it�s a an experience of another kind, there's always something new to be learned...

Giro'08 St.4: Cavendish Gets His First!

Tue, 13 May 2008 10:43:22 GMT

Message by Dave Aldersebaes
It looked like it would be another day for the sprinters - one of the few and proud profiles conducive to the fast twitchers - and we were not disappointed as young Mark Cavendish showed once again that he isn't the future - he's now.

Toolbox: Fatigue and Riding Styles

Mon, 12 May 2008 23:13:52 GMT

Message by Dr. Stephen Cheung, Ph.D.
Every spring it happens. After a winter of mostly solo rides either commuting or indoors on the trainer doing intervals, the first few group rides of the year are just brutal reawakenings to the realities of the highly variable nature or racing. What are the neuromuscular differences, if any, between hard constant efforts and group races?

At long last the Giro has begun and we all turn our heads daily to watch the ever entertaining rolling carnival through Italy - and life is good. We've got lots of Giro to report on and a few other tidbits worth chatting about, so grab that last donut or give it to me. Read ON!

Giro�08 St.3: Battling Bennati Beats Bruised Bunch!

Mon, 12 May 2008 11:09:01 GMT

Message by Alastair Hamilton
Today was billed as one of the few days for the sprinters and it didn�t disappoint! Names like McEwen, Cavendish and Zabel where the bookmaker�s choice for the win, Daniele Bennati wasn�t on the tip of many people�s tongues, but he showed the sprint specialist what it was all about on a day that staying upright was the hardest thing to do!

Giro Di Adam: The Joys Of Sicily

Message by Edmond Hood
As the Giro winds around Sicily, PEZ has a man right there in the heart of the peloton; Aussie Elite TT champion, High Road�s Adam Hansen. He took time to talk to Ed Hood after the Cobra had struck on Stage Two.

Giro di PEZ: In The Gods' Valley

Sun, 11 May 2008 12:37:09 GMT

Message by Richard Pestes
Last night was another late one� I made it out of the press room at 10, back to the hotel at 10:30, shower and out to dinner at 11:00, then stopped in for a night cap at a local enoteca � and next thing I know, it�s 2:30 for lights out. Needless to say, today�s start was somewhat sluggish, but I�m now in Agrigento awaiting the finish.

Giro�08 St.2: Rockin� Ricco Romps It!

Message by Gordan Cameron
He talks the talk, and today, at least, Saunier-Duval�s mouth from the south walked the walk. As the finishing hills wrecked the peloton all over the road, Riccardo Ricco staked his claim to the Giro with a ballsy win.

Giro di PEZ: Bravissimo Slipstream!

Sat, 10 May 2008 14:13:45 GMT

Message by Richard Pestes
When we heard Slipstream set the fastest time check, we knew something was up. Then the time held and history was made, but it wasn�t until I watched the team take the podium that I knew what I�d report on. Never have I seen a team so absolutely thrilled with their performance as I did today on the streets of Palermo.

Giro�08 St.1: Vande Velde Slips The Stream!

Sat, 10 May 2008 11:12:15 GMT

Message by Alastair Hamilton
It�s the first stage of the first Grand Tour of the year and it�s a team time trial to kick off in the Sicilian town of Palermo. The addition of Astana has taken the focus off of a lot of the other quality squads - but there's no question that all of these teams want a piece of that beautiful first Maglia Rosa of the 2008 Giro.

Oh it is so close to time. We here at PEZ have a special place in our hearts for the Giro, and thus we have a special place in our beating drums for the riders in Italy's finest race, and this year we'll even be treated to some of racing's finest as the Giro continues its ascension from almost purely an Italian event, to an event with all of the world's best.
