Giro d’Italia Stage 12 – Who Said The Giro Was Boring?

So I eat my words from yesterday. Cavendish wins an epic stage with the help of Renshaw’s legendary leadout and we get to see Robbie Hunter brawl with Sacha Modolo. We all know Hunter is a bad-ass mofo who grew up in the hood of Johannesburg so I have no doubt who would come out on top of this one.

If you could see a fight between any two cyclists, spanning any generation, who would it be?

The prize for the best pair-up is a Shut Up Legs t-shirt. Winner will be tallied by the number of “likes” on their comment.
