    There's a very good basement taverna just a few yards from the start and I had the best dish of spaghetti ever there – served with just a bit of olive oil and parmesan cheese, but it was absolutely perfectly cooked al dente so needed nothing else.

    Yep, unlike many other pro's he can't change his chainring for something smaller (as it's elliptical) so had to go mahoosive on the rear sprocket. Looks silly though :lol:

    The last kilometre and a bit is relatively flat, so whoever can still push a high gear at that point will do well.

    Rodriguez started out on his TT bike and then swapped to his road machine. He's the only rider who has done that so far.

    So...predictions? How much time will Contador gain on his competitors? sigh. I really wish this were more of a competition but he's just killing them.

    Conty only 13th at the first time check? Maybe saving himself or others have gone off too fast? We'll see.
