[DVBC] Bonkers

[Dave Hartrum]

 "So as a director I would prefer it to be less hard - I think the makers of this course have lost their minds a bit," he continued. "Paolo and Tom went and previewed a lot of the Bonkers course recently, there's no road at the end: it's 5.5 km up a ski slope!" exclaimed Bruyneel. 

Above I took the liberty of some minor editing of a quote about Stage 17 of the Giro :-)

This stage 17 most be something. Team Disco is planning to outfit the bikes that day with 34-28/29 gearing. Never heard of that for the pros.

"We'll be using 34x28/29 gearing - that's not cycling. We have struggled more with making sure we have the right components and equipment than at any other race in our team's history; even at the Tour de France we know that as long as you have a 39x25 you're good, but this race..." 

Giro starts this weekend.
