Denis Menchov wins Giro Italia from Universal Sports

[NRQS]

Press 2 for: NO!!

[Nicool333]

This was actually a great Giro...every stage was awesome. These announcers really make it great to watch on TV too.

[IamAeroDynamic]

the maglia rosa is down..

LOL

[icramer]

Go Service Technician!

[DENK0FF]

МЕНЬШОВ ЛУЧШИЙ!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[mockertime]

OH NOOOOOOO!

[dirtdoggg]

No doubt, bad ass mechanic.

[MrATB990]

best mechanic Ever!

[Tomko401]

If this helps...

The maglia rose is pink because of the paper color of the Gazzetta dello Sport

And the riders wear the yellow jersey in the Tour de France because of the paper color of L'Equipe

[sjakiesnel]

lol @ bulga91, but you're kind of true anyway ^^

[slavicman09]

i would love to win this race so i could get a kiss from those beutiful women

[frankerspanker]

he wouldve won the stage if not for the crash! he rode very good TT's this Giro, but was kinda boring in the mountains

[clovismcpony]

That mechanic had a fresh bike out crazy quick. Damn!

[jushyosaha604]

go andy schlek

[Bulga91]

I follow Menchov on TV since 2008, i think that in one year i've seen him fallin like 10 times... He needs driving lessons...

[ToxicFrog]

Yeah...but he would still school you on any descent or turn.

[sjoerdcoen]

cyclists fall..

if you know how much km they ride. 10 times ain't that much

[Locr3se]

ooooooo nooo menchov its crash !!

[xaviqaz]

OH YES!!!!!

[jannisery]

The name of the mechanic is Vincent Hendrix, i guess... Rabobank team also gave him a pink jersey for his effort :)))

[EagleOfToledo]

@jannisery If you watch the Eurosport footage from behind the teamcar, the mechanic has actually jumped out the car while Denis is still sliding across the road ! He's running towards him carrying the spare bike at the same time Denis stands up - amazing wasn't it - respect to the mechanic ! The only bike change I've seen quicker was Cancellara's 2nd bike change in the 2010 Paris-Roubaix !

[Henkjandegrote]

MENCHOV! RABOKINDEREN

[hommertshommerts]

And why Yellow in Tour. Whats the point!XD

[JUanBOBO]

but why pink?

[andresisthename]

The sponsors, you can't control that and you have to wear the colors they give you. I know it sucks when it is like this but for the most part most sponsors want you to look badass, this video shows the eception. Worth to mention girls love that color and love even more to see men humiliated with it.

[SantiBotero]

It's the colour of the pages of Gazzetta Dello Sport, the creator of the Giro and still the main sponsor, 100 years affter.

[pencid]

i think it's becouse our most famous sport newspaper "gazzetta dello sport" has pink paper... but i'm not sure about that...

[folklore2]

What's wrong with pink?

[AmazingParody]

The "pink jersey" in the tour of italy signifies the current race leader, and when the pink jersey goes down everyone goes crazy.

Конградулэйшнс Деннис!

Team Rabobank fans accross the globe are very happy for you.

[Torcida021]

Really a great job Menchov to winning the Giro. Holland is proud on you.

After 2 times winning the Vuelta no the giro. This year the TOUR ? You will have a great helper ther in that team off Rabobank : Anton Geesink.

Respect foor Menchov, respect for everyone who cycles a heavy tour like Giro , Tour and Vuelta !

[winkelwagentjesdief]

I think you mean Robert Gesink, Anton is the Dutch Judoka :)

[Torcida021]

yeah u r right

[inspktr51]

you have to give credit to the s.t. he did a hell of a job getting that bike off the car

[musenatuurlijk]

Thank you Menchov, you made your team Rabobank and our small country the Netherlands very proud. Di luca, respect for you, without you it wouldn't have been such a great giro!

[weard0]

@musenatuurlijk but di luca used doping

[wanmaker]

sean kelly and dave every day,these fucking to.haha

[SAIYANLENGENDAR]

1999. Alpe d´Huez. Giuseppe Guerini gana a pesar del estúpido fotógrafo que se interpuso en su camino.

2003. Luz Ardiden. Lance Armstrong sentencia en su 5º Tour después de caer al inicio de la última subida de ese Tour.

2009. Coliseo de Roma. Denis Menchov cae inexplicablemente en el último kilómetro, pero gana el Giro.

Tres caídas, tres formas de levantarse y vencer. Tres formas de honrar a este deporte. GRACIAS.

[winkelwagentjesdief]

Denis well done! it has been a very exciting Giro can't wait till the Tour starts :)

[TheBraziliantV]

What tour starts?

[himynameisjoao]

the tour de france ;)
