If it's May, it's the Giro d'Italia. Started in Jerusalem this year, but now back in Italy. They are going up Etna tomorrow, which ought to be ... steep. Three Canadians riding this year: Michael Woods, who stepped forward in the Vuelta last year, is among the contenders. Guillaume Boivin from Quebec and the iron man Svein Tuft, doing his last Grand Tour at age 41, are the others. Follow via Steephill if you are not up for the expensive cable package.
