    Some news on Frank Schleck.
    Initial examinations on his shoulder showed “a hematoma in both my neck and the articulation that I dislocated. These are putting pressure on the nerve system and are the cause of the pain. Besides this, I still have the inflammation in the left leg, from overcompensating the painful shoulder with a cramped position on the bike.”

    I think JB should put out a public apology. P.of.s man.

    Kinell, Rujano was my PTP pick as I thought Salvio's message might have got to him.

    Didn't anyone ever tell Gadret that pedalling with scissors is dangerous?

    Uh oh - Savio's out of the team car with a rolled-up newspaper. Rujano's going to get twatted!

    Nieve's gap to the peloton wasn't helped by that near miss. Halved the time gap.

    So this Liquigas train is just going to shutdown all attackers and exploits all the way to the Stelvio...

    Kevin must have made a super descent.

    Timings say Nieve, Serpa and the movistar have 1 min on the peloton.

    Depends on the rider. Allowing Nieve to gain a minute or two on GC would be dangerous since tomorrow is a rest day for the climbers before the real monster climbs on Fri/Sat.
