Italian media are using irony to highlight new Giro d'Italia boss
Michele Acquarone's evident inclination for the English language and
the internationalization of the event. But they're ready to welcome
Ryder Hesjedal as the first Canadian winner of the corsa rosa, should
the rider from Garmin-Barracuda confirm tomorrow that he has the power
to recover his 31-second deficit from current race leader Joaquim
Rodriguez, who is not exactly a time trial specialist.

Stelvio, the highest peak of the 2012 Giro d’Italia, on the eve of the
closing 30-km individual time trial in Milan. He went away on the

he has been very familiar with for the past six years.

Thor Hushovd has flown to the US for medical examinations. It is
thought that a viral infection may be responsible for his poor
performance so far this year. The former world champion abandoned the
Giro d'Italia on the sixth stage.
CyclingNews:
At the top of the Stevlio with his Giro d'Italia bid all but over, Ivan
Basso acknowledged that his performance had fallen short his
expectations. The two-time race winner sits 3:18 down on race leader
Joaquim Rodriguez (Katusha Team) in seventh place after two difficult
stages in the mountains. With just a 30-kilometer time trial to come,
Basso has little chance of moving up the overall classification.
CyclingNews:
With just one stage remaining in this year’s Giro d’Italia, Sky’s Dave
Brailsford has plenty of reasons to be proud. Three stage wins courtesy
of Mark Cavendish and overall white jersey on the shoulders of
Rigoberto Uran, not to mention the emergence of Sergio Henao in his
first Grand Tour have given Sky their best return since debuting in the
race two years ago.
PodiumInsight:
Arm in a sling, straight out of surgery for a mid-shaft clavicle
fracture, Kristin Armstrong (Exergy Twenty12) paid a visit to watch the
finish of stage 1 of the Exergy Tour. The message was clear.
Armstrong was there to support the race, her team and to let the world
know that she is still determined to race at the Olympic Games and will
not let a pesky broken collarbone stand in her way.

Sornson: The Trans-Sylvania Epic (TSE) is consuming much of my brain
right now. Mostly with things such as "I have to remember this or
that"; "I have this to do before..."; "I can't forget to do this when I
get back..."; "I also agreed to blog, what was I thinking!"; "I'm never
this much of wreck prior to 100s"; "Am I just freaking out due to my
poor luck last weekend, duh that's only part of it...Top notch women's
field to line up for Trans-Sylvania Epic is the main part".
