Giro 2014 Stage 2 - Marcel More-So

For the Giro's second stage in Ireland, the Emerald Isle once again proved that it can rival anywhere in Europe when it comes to putting on a good rain shower - although I'm sure Yorkshire will put them to shame when the Tour rolls through in July.

Considering how wet it was, there weren't as many crashes as you might expect from the early days of a grand Tour and things looked to have dried out a little by the finish.  There was a reason Marcel Kittel cost 16 points - he's quick and he won today by a fair distance.

So today's antics favoured the Kittel pickers.  And if you managed to get another guy into the Pink Jersey, like Mungo did with Micheal Matthews, then you were probably pretty happy.
