Thanks for posting all those pics!

The Giro Rosa is a great race and the daily highlight packages put out by the UCI are really good.

It was so great to see Ruth Winder with that stage win!!!!

Needs more coverage.

Or maybe the organizers could just start by not running the biggest women's race of the year during the biggest men's spectacle.

That's actually on purpose: by mixing the coverage of the Giro Rosa with the coverage of the TdF the Italian television hopes to attract viewers who otherwise would not tune in for just the women.

The right answer, of course, is for ASO to run a women's race right alongside the men's race through France. But that would make too much sense.

Great pics, good to see so many smiles. And Fassa Bortolo is still sponsoring cycling...I had no idea. Cool!

Great photos! Good to see young cyclocrosser Arzuffi take 3rd today.

Hmm . . . OK.

And for the rest of the world, the cycling journalists/pubs, the podcasts, etc?

Overhere in The Netherlands there's a 1hr report on the open Eurosport channel every night.

Nice pictures. Too bad that helmets keep getting uglier and uglier.

I finally managed to catch the last 15 km of the stage live today from the PMG facebook page, it was a pretty exciting finish.

The first 4 stages I kept getting confused as to what time the stages would be and how to translate that to US Central time zone so I kept missing it. This was not helped by the absolute paucity of coverage by the normal cycling websties. Even the Ella Cyclingtips website hasn't had much beyond a preview before the race.
