    Cadel is AC/DC.
    Garzelli, uuuummmm astonishing. Must have been saving it for this.

    Garzelli's time would have got him 7th in 2008

    He is good on those steep ones - recent example would be at TA

    He's got a good chance (Garzelli) but I think Evans is gonna put the hammer down.

    Hmm, pink bike? It's not big and it certainly isn't clever...

    I think that Garzelli time means that Cappelli of Footon will be packing his bags.

    Why is Evans using such a huge gear? Didn't he learn from Zoncolan? Even he acknowledged the too large gear on his diary!

    I dunno, maybe as an experienced professional bike rider he knows what works for him better than we do.

    Basso's split time? Eurosport's usual immaculate timing.

    I think that was a bit of lung hanging out of Scarpo's gob.
