Hide the giro results!
I need to remember not to go on the site until I've at least watched the highlights. Or, to prevent spoilers, I reckon the headline for any big race should just be "today at the giro/tour/etc". Pure selfishness of course!

I repurposed a bent rear derailleur hanger into a keyring. It's very useful, and you can use it to open bottles of beer.

I've asked before for it to be a no spoiler photo and 'Giro\Tour\Veulta Stage X" headline. I can't imagine it drives traffic to the site for people wanting to know the result, but it's good to know that it's not just me who avoids this site and others until I've watched the highlights.
Side story: my twilight manager was once waiting for night manager to come in. He knew night manager would be late as he was wathcing the Euro football finals. All he asked was for night manger not to tell him the result as he was recording it and wanted to watch when he got home. At 10pm he get's a call from night manager "Brian, I'm going to be even later as it's just gone to extra time....". Poor old twilight manager went home and fast forwarded first 90 minutes of the game lol. He was fuming!
Ferking Eurosport!!?!?!?!
I recorded the highlights last night, pressed play.....
Eurosport runs a news roundup just before the program and gives away the winner. You utter tw@ts! I can't believe they did that. Saved me some time that evening I suppose.
Ouch, yes, that has caught me out as well!
Do you want to be Bob or Terry in this scenario? http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b0077jrd

I used to agree with you but it now seems the norm (not just on this site but everywhere) so it is virtually impossible to miss the result. Instead I now take the Columbo approach- you know who did it at the start, it is just the process of seeing how it was done unfold that provides the entertainment value!
Same here however i'm now subscribed to the rather excellent Cycling Podcast which has changed the Grand Tours for me. They will announce the winner at the start but then go into loads of interesting insight about riders, teams, locations, customs, food which gives you a real flavour for the country, not just the race results
It's so good this might be the first time in years i won't watch the TdF, i'll just follow it on the podcast
