2012 Giro Del Trentino (by girdon2009)
Overview of the Giro Trentino - won by Linda Villumsen (Orica-AIS)
This is how Dan describes what we got up to this week:
Holy shit it’s been a busy week in the world of women’s cycling! We’ve got heaps to cover and we manage to have a good amount of fun along the way. In fact if you don’t laugh at least once while listening this week, I’ll give you your money back!
Let’s see, we start with Sarah being touched (inappropriately?) by the sun before discussing the Raboster race and smiley, happy (Dutch) people. I suggest that we may soon encounter a Tasmanian separatist movement and we expose a plot by Australian convicts to steal all your races. I defend the honour of American brewing and Helen Wyman launches a surprise attack. We invent a new super-extreme triathlon and Emma Pooley makes a mountain out of rolling hills.
I solve some complicated maths problems (Sarah owes me a beer). We talk about the apocalypse, NVGP and the location of the new hellmouth. I get kind of serious for almost a minute, then I do more maths and we hear a great story about the Italian national champs. Sarah starts a vicious rumour about my smoking. I pose the Zen koan riddle “Are bigger ovaries better?” and we bring the ass back to the women’s peloton. And then we end the show with a surprising visual!

There has been a huge amount of women’s racing this week, so I thought I’d update you on the results, and some other news, and then if we find more videos, we can add them to the comments - which is where any blogs, tweets and things will go too.
We’ve got results from the Netherlands, Italy, the UK and the USA, we’ve got Olympic team news, apocalyptic weather interrupting races, race video, the end of a dream and a whole load of funny faces! It’s all below the jump!

"My tour of Trentino finished after 15km today, too many difficulties for ones head, legs & bike to cope with. 2 bikes with mechanicals :-(
