No spoiler, just wanted to start the thread.

Interesting stage today. Could be a breakaway or could a GC rider try and steal some time?

    Should be able to get one now. Eurosport is live and they are on the first climb, with a long way to go.................

    Ugh, I hate it when the cameramen stay for ages on a rider who's obviously hurt quite badly.

    Hey Dot, you going to have photos from Tour de Suisse? Any earlier ones?

    He's definitely out. Big loss for Vino.
    TV's replacement is in tears, too..

    Was going to ride the Castelli24 in Feltre, but as I'm not race fit (crashed last week), I will probably photograph 2 or 3 stages of the TdS... The new webpage will be ready by then.

    The Astana guy looked in agony - never nice to see. Must avoid the temptation to go and watch TV as I need to get some work done!!!

    So given the descent at the end is this a sprinters stage or one for someone who can climb and descend well?

    Or is this breakaway going to workout.

    Don't think this breakaway will work.
    Won't be the normal sprinters, but possibly a group (<30 riders) or a very small elite group.

    Interesting stage.

    "It's only a cheekbone. What do you need two for anyway?"

    ...says the mechanic telling poor old Masciarelli to get back on the bike.

    Ouch again. I never liked these roads.
    Not sure what Katusha are planning, especially with the breakaway over 5 minutes up the road......

    I think it's between Lloyd and Rubens B now. Peloton isn't interested.

    Lloyd going it alone.
    It's a little like wrestling a gorilla. You don't quit when you're tired. You quit when the gorilla is tired.

    This is so annoying. You won't believe me, but I had physical typed "Matt Llo" as my PTP pick before changing my mind.

    Just great! I was chewing over the PTP pick last night, Lloyd or Wegelius , Wegelius or Lloyd??

    And who did I go for..............................Wegelius !!!


    I was suprised Cadel didn't tie Lloyd into the deal to go across to BMC.
