The Giro d'Italia started today and it's an eye opener.

The opening stages are being held in Israel. From Jerusalem - Haifa - Tel Aviv - Be'er Sheva concluding at Eilat on the Sanai/Saudi border. Considering the close relations between the two nations this was inevitable - but why now?

Italy guaranteed the Israeli National Team's security by holding their games in Sardinia during the intifada. Security must be very tight for this.

Canada may have a new cycling star. Guillaume Boivin is leading Stage 3 (Haifa to Tel Aviv).

If he can’t climb the mountains and a top 10 time trialist,he will be just a domestique in the grand tours and nothing else

The next Steve Bauer?
BC's Ryder Hesjedal won the Giro in 2012. The only Canadian to win a Gran Tourismo. The Giro may be the toughest Tour to win with the heavy Italian field. The majority of the Giro's have been won by Italians with Vincenzo Nibali having the Triple Crown by winning the three major road races. Tour de France specialist Chris Froome can't make the same claim.

On Dec 7 1985, Arab terrorists attacked the El Al check in counter at Rome's Fiumicino Airport. Transworld Airlines in Vienna was attacked at the same time. 19 civilians were killed before El Al security killed three of the terrorists, the rest were later captured by the Carabinieri.

Relationships between Italy and Israel had frayed after evidence came to light of The Mossad's role in terrorism in Italy in the 70's. The Mossad financed The Red Brigade in return for information on Black September. By the end of the 80's Israel admitted and apologized to Italy for their role in the events. Since then relations between Israel and Italy have gotten much closer with The Mossad and SID sharing information on Al Qaeda and IS sleeper cells in the country. Italy has remained free of the terror attacks that have plagued the rest of Europe.

danmand knows that when in Fiumicino, behave. The Carabinieri shoot to kill....Craig Ferguson is waaay off.

Chris Froome is hanging in, he wants the magliarosa. He's fallen too far behind, this wont be his year.

Which will leave the Tour de France open, unless he juices to the max and wins it.

I eat my hat, Chris Froome is the overall leader. Slaughtering the filed at the penultimate alpine stage the Zoncolan. Unbelievable, he made up a full three minutes on the field. The legendary Lance Armstrong never won the Giro.
