    I reckon this stage might just turn out to be anti-climatic. Leaky-gas all together at front on descent, Basso to extend lead in GC on final climb??

    The Cima Coppi prize is a fair amount of euros and Tschopp is not likely getting a huge salary. Maybe he is also schopping for a place on BMC given his Swiss nationality.

    I can't wait until BMC bring out the black and white kits - these red ones are awful.

    Could do with a bit of rain to liven things up.

    I had a feeling it might. Dull. Nobody prepared to risk it. Too many Liquigas spoil the broth.

    At least the final climb is 12km.

    I often wish they had a moto with the guys all the way behind, the grupetto etc. It would be another interesting view of the race.

    Already a min on Simoni, although Simoni is likely taking zero risks and not even pushing.

    Well, I'd hardly call this stage animated.
    65kms of climbing, but other than the first climb, under a 6% average.
    Diesel attrition.
    Maybe something will happen in the last 7kms........

    This makes me wonder who is winning in the tennis.

    A Vino win would cap off an exciting day's racing.

    Is Nadal playing? Does he still scratch his arse after every... single... point...?

    yes, but only when he serves!!!

    He has just taken the first set 6-3 against Hewitt...

    Righi wheelsucking. Gosh, how sorry I feel for Vino.

    Love it. Vino now knows how Arroyo felt yesterday. Maybe Vino shouldn't attack him.

    I'm quite sad watching Gibo... he's only got 10km left as a professional now. I need a new favourite rider!

    Great last hurrah for him today though.

    Hope Basso doesn't fall off tomorrow and lose a minute. He might regret this.
