Giro D'Iljo

Bold trouser choice from Ashley House this morning.

Nice one, Dario.

Leo we love you!! And your neckwarmer chic!

The UCI really need to work on their sense of humour.

That chase for the intermediate sprint was pretty lovely just then. Burgy and another BMC leading out Phil, and then Phil gave a tiny thumbs up! LOVE.

And now they're all laughing and joking together beautifully.

Reaaaalll classy Bertie, insisting this is his 9th Grand Tour win. Gnome it's not.

Phil's calling to somebody. What's going on?

Elia riding by Heinrich. Lovely.

Awwww Elia's favourite athlete is Cokey Tom! How cute!

Awesome. This is the best on-board footage yet, what a party!

An abundance of nature breaks at the moment:
In the meantime, that's something we didn't need to see...
Has to be done.

Oh heyyyy Bernie. Little snack time there.

Yeah, what's this, has Luca had a stylish haircut for the occasion?? Looks trendy.

Woah talking of trendy, nice hair Bernie.

Juan Antonio just called him the brains of the operation and he laughed so brilliantly.

In the end it was a beautiful Giro, says Bernie.

ILJO out front!!!!

Wowzers what's gone on there. Alafaci is just holding a bike frame. No wheels.

Burgy chillin' near the front with some Giants.

That shitty little section of cobbles and tram lines in the finishing straight is a bit terrible.

Bossin' on the front: The Team Sky story.

All in for the stage win!!

Some pushing and shoving going here-- mostly from Trek to Lampre.  Starting a bit early, commentators note.

Oh shit, Giant are literally running down the road. There's wheels on the road, Ludvigsson is somewhere there. Awww Luka Mezgec taken down somehow. He was very pleasant in the pre-stage interview. Sad face.

Shite, Bernie pulling off, trying to give Leo his bike! NIGHTMARE.

Good christ well they're all getting back on but that's not helpful for Elia!

Though I feel like he did really well without a structured train before, but...

It's helped Iljo's lead go out though.

My heart is being torn so many different ways.

An issue for Phil now??????? NOOOOOOO!

These punctures are like sniper shots to my heart!!!

And now Heinrich too!!!! This is insanity.

This is worse than tack-gate a few years ago.

HOLD ON ILJO HOLD ON

BELL LAP!!!!!!!!

34 second advantage as the group comes through the line!

This is fucking cray, they think Iljo and Luke will stay away!!!

GO ON ILJO FUCKING TAKE IT!!!

Now Giant is driving on the front. Luka is doing a Kiel!

Burgy still hanging out front.

1.5k and 25 seconds.

Iljo is on the game now. Last K and making Luke work.

Swinging all over the road!!!!!

Iljo checking behind.

They're like barely riding. I love it.

Swinging swinging

The group is coming hot on them!

FUCK HERE THEY GO

HE'S PULLING AHEAD.

ILJO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

HE WONNNNNNNNNNNNN!!!!!

Oh my god hugging Luke and all!

Come on let's see it again!

He looks so chill. He's like wandering around giving thumbs ups!

Christ he was FAR ahead in the end.

Yes it was beautiful, I was so emotional watching it, says Juan Antonio.

It's the best sport in the world when it's like this.

I've seen a lot of course from Cavendish how he does it, so I take experience from that. I LOVE ILJO!!

Big ol' swig of the prosec there.

Aww so cute, I thought of doing something maybe in the last lap, but I felt good with six to go...

Let's make this official: #GiroDIljo
