  I have been so busy with homeschooling tasks this year that I haven’t been able to catch much (if any) of the Giro d’Italia. I tried posting some of the live coverage transcripts from the Journal of Competitive Cycling through my Google Reader feeds; lately, I haven’t even had time to do that, so I decided to do this instead. Here are the links to everything that I found interesting about the race thus far. It has not all been smooth sailing, but what else is new. I just hope I have more time in my schedule come July so I can watch the Tour de France! Live coverages and/or stage reports: - Stage 1 - Stage 2 - Stage 3 - Stage 4 - Stage 5 - Stage 6 - Stage 7 - Stage 8 - Stage 9 - Stage 10 - Stage 11 Articles: - Giro jury rules against Leipheimer - Contador vows to ride despite fracture And, finally, not directly related to the Giro d’Italia but interesting nonetheless: a look into the mind of a cyclist during a five-hour race. Probably more information than you wanted about cycling, but I found it entertaining. What would you think about on a five-hour bike ride?

  Today's stage was somewhat quiet. The coverage on ctv was probably close to an hour delayed which was not pleasant. I had RAI on to view until it was up. The breakaway was out a good portion of the day and part of me was hoping that Adam Hansen from HighRoad (read his interview from PEZ) could've made it to the end but he got caught. He was really going for it and watching him just prior to them getting him, it was easy to feel for his efforts. Once the catch was made small attacks were made all the way to the finish. When DiLuca flew up from pretty far back I have to say I was a bit impressed by the move. He too got caught but to watch him fly up and past everyone gave for some great viewing. Ricco won the stage with Bettini right at his heals.
