Did the Giro just start?

Quoted message said:

It seems like today is the first day that there were a lot of posts on
r.b.r about the biggest race that is going on right now. Glad to see the
activity!

A cynical person would point out that many of the posts have referenced how
the form of a particular rider in the Giro will translate in July at the
Tour de France. Thus it's the encroaching proximity of the TdF that's
creating the sudden interest here in the Giro.

Dumbass,
All the trolls use the giro as a warm up/base building event for the tour.
Just like Ullrich.

Trolls using religion, guns and helmets aren't trolls, they're just
toads. rbr doesn't have any really good trolls anymore. If someone
snags Benjo or Carl, or actually gets KG upset, then we have a troll.

Get all three at once and I would be impressed. Doubt if it has ever
been done. Tossing out 'helmet' and snagging a bunch of 16 yo with
cute bike racing psuedonyms simply doesn't count. And (F)RAAM (c)
doesn't count, as its a sort of hobby troll.

So what's this Giro [censored] you're talking about. Salvodelli still
leading it?

No, Svoldelli is.

And the French thought it was bad for a U.S. rider to win the Tour:
what will the Italians do if a Transylvanian wins the Giro?

No, it didn't just start. It's already over.

Get out the garlic and crosses and/or drive a stake though his heart
(guess why a Transylvanian has never won the TDF).

Anyway most of the Transylvanian's work for WADA or the UCI, but their
union is complaining of them suffering from the bends after sampling some
riders mother in law or dogs blood.

If only Tyler knew. The vampire (vampyre?) defense.

The TdF is just the post-Giro party

Savoldelli? Doesn't he ride for some has-been colonial outfit -
Disconsolate Camel or something? They did have a rider who was some
good, once. Dumb red-neck hick called Headstrong. Bad attitude, though;
used to go postal if you waved a yellow rag in his face. Even cut off
one of his own testicles to save weight. But he was only ever up to
riding one race a year, and now he's gone, what have they left, apart
from the empty testosterone bottles?

If you're really going to troll, you have to punch /all/ the buttons.

You lost troll points for spelling Salvodelli's name right - you
should only spell it 'Savoldelli' if you are posting it in the header
and you are giving results.

My previous post aside, I'm picking Simoni to blow up trying to take
second spot on the two Days of Mayhem ahead and giving third to Salvo.

While we're in the process of trolling, I also pick the DNS/DNF list
to top 20 more on those two stages (total), just among the quitters,
not on the cutoff.

Come to think of it Chung's Mission accomplished does merit mention
in the dispatches. He rides for a French team though so I doubt if he will
be in good form in July.

And its hard to keep early form all the way into the Tour.
