    It's a thing of beauty compared to the Footon kit.

    14 km to go in the stage. Bit of a relief that this stage is quite dull. Too much madness already.

    Well, OK, boring until Garzelli, Pinotti and Scarponi start attacking.

    They've only got 10 seconds though, with 10 km left to go.

    They are up to around 20 now, more people in the front group, including a certain mr Vino.


    Cuddles got a bit pissed off with someone just then :O

    Only if they can ensure Michael is there, and they employ Allen Lim.

    those intermediate stages are going to be nightmares...

    he has no team to move him from the back to the front of the peloton...

    WhereTF are his team?

    Evans' team? Not sure. They could benefit from rehiring Landis as a consultant though. It appears as if he had the whole team fooled into thinking he was clean.

    Havn't seen the Giro-Italians put a foreigner in his place for many a day.
    I remember Indurain waving his arm at a group he was in, as Bugno went off down the road.
    Whatever expletive is Spanish but it must have been "bugger you" as he just changed gear and sorted the problem for himself.
    He seemed to get used to them attacking him at every chance and thrive on it without bitching, publicly.

    Oh well, guess who decided nothing much would happen so went and did a chore? :oops:
    Seen it now and all I can say is: there will not be a dull day in this Giro.

    I thought the favourites would sit until tomorrow, at least, probably Monte Grappa.

    Now, I'd bet the lot, it'll be the same tomorrow.

    Evans? He needs to concentrate on 2 things:
    1) The race
    2) His right cross! :lol:

    "The only dangerous customer from that breakaway was Carlos Sastre,” Basso said after the stage, according to Het Laatste Nieuws. “If anybody deserved the break to work, it was the Spaniard. After his bad luck the first week he is now tactically sharp.”

    Basso thinks that none of the other riders who managed to leapfrog the rest of the big race contenders will be able to hang on to their new positions once the race hits the tough Italian Dolomites. “The rest will blow up in the final week,” he concluded.

    Sat down to watch the highlights last night only to find it bumped for the women's Champions League final going to penalties. I've defended ES on their cycling before and can see how adevrtising etc. means that they probably have to follow the WTA events to the end but the women's UCL final WTF, I can't imagine it was a big draw on their schedule :x
