Giro: “Maxi-Caduta” Video from Pinerolo

For anyone who just can’t get enough of that giant slippery pile-up at the end of the 11th stage last week, here’s another video - this time from a fan leaning out a window over the finish line:


And there at the end you can even see maglia rosa Andrea Noe’ sliding over the finish line on his ass. I’m not sure a race leader has ever finished in a less dignified fashion…

Thanks to Podium Cafe for the link.

[…] The conditions today were absolute shite - pouring rain at the finish and pretty wet and cold along the whole stage. Race leader Danilo Di Luca looked positively annoyed at how cold and wet he was, even bundled in his huge rain jacket. Thankfully, the peloton’s memory is long enough to recall the slip-and-slide finish of last week - they took the corners at near-granny pace and there wasn’t the finish line pile-up there could have been. Petrov crashed on the descent, but they showed him riding over the finish line so he must not have been too badly hurt. […]
