Eccoci di nuovo al nostro usuale appuntamento con il ciclismo bizantino, il più amato anche dagli infedeli.
Settimana ricca di gare e di risultati per i nostri ragazzi che finalmente sembrano trovare una forma degna dei notevoli emolumenti che i lanisti pagano annualmente per annoverarli tra le loro fila.
Come sempre gli eunuchi sono stati sguinzagliati tra le varie province dell' Impero Romano di Occidente per riportare fedelmente i fatti più interessanti, eccovi perciò i resoconti appena estratti dalle buste di pergamena ( e abbelliti nella forma poetica dal vostro augusto patriarca).
Tour de Picardie
Allegro French tour which takes place in Picardie, the land known mainly for being the birthplace of Eddy Seigneur, Alexandre Dumas and Jean Racine, and therefore naturally fond of melodrama granguignoleschi.
Our remaining faithful to local tastes have decided to stage a mock kidnapping of mass before the start (with Amorison in the Iron Mask) going to lose their punch in time. Result: none of our approaching to any worthy place! Piovosissima be noted that during the third stage of the mussel Steven Cozza fell decisively in a stream where remained to filter Beat until help arrives. A few weeks stop for him.
International Rheinland-Pfalz Rundfahrt
A race where there are practically all our boys fighting for a place in the sun (or wind considering the weather conditions): Goths, Gauls, Brittany Franks and gave battle on the streets to snatch a possible renewal of contract with the grim lanista.
We see step by step
1Tappa: Festival sprint strapaesana vedeve that our right at the foot of the podium: Steven Caethoven the 4th, 5th and 6th Harald André Greipel Starzengruber. Close but no points.
Step 2: volatone still confusing and even a medal of wood for us with the fourth place of André Greipel.
Step 4: Bad luck continues to pour on our cyclists such as showers of this charming (?) Area of \u200b\u200bGermany. In this case we place a 5 th place with Harald Starzengruber (free of Shakespearean Matzenbacher)
Step 5: The apotropaic gestures while useless eunuchs (useless for lack of substance ...) are used instead of something with Steven Caethoven gill that a good 3rd place and offers three points to his risicatissimi lanista. Nothing to do in the final standings Starzengruber with 24 ° of our best (but they are sprinters ..) followed far enough from Greipel, O'Loughlin and mysterious Stubbe.
Tour of Japan (Cipango)
We get very far fragmentary information from this race that sees running slant-eyed devils and heretics of every kind and sort. However, patriarchy is never without resources and, thanks to the willing eunuchs and a bit 'of good old epatomamnzia, Photius once again can show the progress of our heroes.
First, the Tour of Japan does not have the precise locations because much depends on the permissions of both local and from the events of the Shogun various Oni who often haunt the streets.
For this reason, all stages have the same name Akataka-Ataka (from here to here).
Step 1: Sinuosissimo path between the local lords of the manor that only cyclists Indians could decipher. The wily Zak Dempster (sent into the fray with a bowl of rice and a bottle of sake from his paron) was put to the ribs of two yellow devils could recuparare third place is worth 2 points. Not bad, if only for the effort.
Step 2: Climb a mountain harsh indeed that at the end turned out to be a volcano in full operation by deleting the middle to follow the caravan of runners. A young Kazakhstan won the stage, but immediately behind him came the genial Aurelien Passeron that thanks to his bike with wheels to avoid the effect of asbestos could Pompeii. First points for the annual new Marco Polo cycling.
Step 3: Escape five brave (including the indefatigable Passeron!) Siena realizing acceleration forced by a gang of Pachinko players in protest against any sports activity on land that is not the Japanese Pachinko itself. The protest turned into a brawl when the group met with a mob of extremists tamagochi. In the confused Passeron sprint took the 5th place, leaving the victory all'Italiano Masciarelli.
Intanto il giro continua...
Giro d'Italia
Il giro dell'Impero Romano di Occidente è una gara che occupa gli alti prelati del ciclismo e generalmente non riserva molte soddisfazioni ai giovani che si spaccano la schiena per fare un po' di esperienza, ma quest'anno le cose sembrano differenti ( a partire dal fatto che Naibò non è maglia nerama tranquillamente 66°).

Fino a questo momento si sono messi in luce principalmente Ariel Richeze e Andy Schleck con prestazioni davvero notevoli.
L'argentino volante si è piazzato: 5° nella seconda tappa e 3° nella terza stage, delivering his viziatissimo manager with 13 points. Then not happy with the good impression he tried to put the icing on the cake Petacchi slammed into the barricade, the task remained unfinished, unfortunately, also thanks to the protection of the other sprinters who love the generosity of the break nell'elargire victories.
Andy Schleck is doing instead of feeling!
In the first stage of climb (well say slight slope uphill ... but given the stuff listed in the Tour this year who made the selection ...) good Andy has taken the plunge: get 5th in the group of the best but then not happy with what he did, he attacked like a madman to the Shrine of the Guard!
Good Photius could not believe his eyes after the thrust upward against the odious Di Luca! At the end of this stage the young fool (defined as one that says "I knew the climb but I felt good ....") arrived exhausted but the 3rd (13 points total spoils) and with an enviable position in the standings. We'll see how far resists ...
