Re: Giro D'italia
I'm expecting to develop some varicose veins after having some grim DVT this year. I wonder if I'll be able to claim that I'm as tough as Dan Martin because of them

Hi,
Just found it and managed to see stage 3.
Is it me or was the lip sync out..........................with the video or was it just the riders interviews?

Re: Giro D'italia
The sound was out of sync. But did anyone notice the high standard of cycle paths, running beside the road. The UK could learn a lot from Hungary. There was a fleeting glimpse of what looked like a ferry crossing on a huge lake. Anyone have any information on this.
At the last count:- Peugeot 531 pro, Dawes Discovery Tandem, Dawes Kingpin X3, Raleigh 20 stowaway X2, 1965 Moulton deluxe, Falcon K2 MTB dropped bar tourer, Rudge Bi frame folder, Longstaff trike conversion on a Giant XTC 840
Re: Giro D'italia
It looked great ... until they reached a side-road, and then it looked like bikes would waste a lot of time at the junction.
Pretty though, and nice if you're just pootling between villages.
Re: Giro D'italia
How would it waste much time? They looked pretty ordinary to me. Although the priorities painted seem wrong, Hungary is a "presumed liability" country like most of Europe, and corners look tight enough to slow most motorists:

Because it looked like riders would have to stop and Give Way, whereas on the main carriage-way they would not. Also the path weaved around (through some trees?) approaching the junctions, which again would slow you down.mjr wrote: ↑11 May 2022, 10:52amHow would it waste much time?

It didn't look anything like the junction you've cited above - but the TV Helithopter may not have given me the best of views,

There's probably some old crap on the route, too. Google coverage appears to be limited and I've not checked where the race went... but I didn't spot anything nearly as bad as UK average on TV live and I've watched Sunday's highlights, so they'll have been deleted to free space by now so I can't easily check.

Re: Giro D'italia
Oh what a shame! Luckily my recollection is perfect, so I suggest you take my word for it, and save yourself a lot of angst.
(even if it was just one junction ... )
