    Had a punt on Basso at 25/1. Good odds given the course.

    I'm thinking Levi is the main one to beat?

    Oooof. DZ riding like a sack of spuds.

    Big time loses and these are the early guys.

    Not the same guy as in 05 Giro, eh?

    Andriotto fastest at the finish so far with a time of 1.42.12. He was quick up the second climb.

    He's a very different rider these days. But you don't have to step out Riis's shadow to lose your touch, look at Swiss Fabian who left last night. You'd think the Olympic TT champ would be keen to test his performance, if not against others at least for the SRM data.

    comedy again from velonews :

    CPelkey: "Spectacle? I'm not sure. I certainly think this course qualifies as pure racing. It surely provides no place to hide. I actually like this course and the Giro is quite challenging - the clusterf... er... uh.... muddle in Milan, notwithstanding."

    Millar second fastest at third check point (44.5km).

    Krivtsov is now fastest at the finish in 1.41.27.

    Two 6 foot blonde Russian clones playing tennis on Eurosport. What a surprise.

    There must be some kind of factory on the outskirts of Vladivostok pumping out identikit tennis players at the rate of one per week or something. Scary thought.

    He also started one and a half minutes late! :shock:

    Looks like most, if not all riders are using road bikes with clip-on aero bars.

    Funny - 'cause they all look like club cyclists!

    I really hope in 35 minutes he's nowhere.

    I have a feeling he won't be though :(

    His Lordship seems to have a resonably high cadence again today. He's not riding that horrific paint job bike so is he on his TT rig?
