Giro d'Italia in Ireland 2014

[THE MIGHTY QUINN]

Google for it Tony. Theres a pdf giving expected times at various points on the route

Fcuk up you! 

I have it all in front of me but I was looking for some local knowledge on the best side road to get me there and parked up when the main route is closed.

Keady looks fantastic. Big effort put in obviously by all the locals

Glenarm isn't seen as catholic. Carnlough would be though which is just round the corner

57% Catholic in the 2001 census. Again, not that it matters.

Not that matters but you are both right. Majority that 43% have decided to mark their territory so someone driving through would think it is a loyalist hole.

I would say quite a few of the Catholics don't live in the village, they have had their GAA changing rooms burnt down before if memory serves me right.

Was anyone in Armagh this morning? I managed to catch it out the road a bit, as I wasn't sure how much I'd see with the expected crowds at the starting line.

Fair crowd there ok. Got to catch a number of the teams introduced to the crowd at Shambles yard  and catch a bit of racing too. Pity the rain spoiled the concert last night though.

Decent crowds all through Armagh this morning. Managed to snatch a wee photo of Cadel on his way out Lonsdale Road.

There was a great crowd out to watch it going through Keady. The peloton is some sight in full flow.

Went down to watch it at Jordanstown and as the peloton came through it was like a swarm of bees, watching it on telly doesn't  do it justice, the speed of those lads coming through was unreal, thewind that came behind it was something else. Fair play to the organisers who took the Giro to Ireland

What a crash!! Madness

What a crash!! Madness

I have seen marshalls in other races signalling a split in the peloton at similar roundabouts. Useless southen bastards

The Giro heading south at the Green Gates.

You're right. It happened at every traffic island on the way into Belfast yesterday.

Only tuned in for the last 15 mins, that was some finish!
The tight turns over the bridge was great viewing too

Haven't watched any amount of cycling since 1987 but I have watched the last two days and found it fascinating. Great coverage by Eurosport.
