Pippo fantastico! Didn't see it unfortunatly...

Did Cancellara change his bike in P-R? We all know he did in RVV.

Esto and his trusty calculator!

Arroyo
Tondo +2:12
Sastre +5:27
Vino +8:16
Evans +9:28
Nibali +9:46
Basso +10:07
Garzelli +11:00
Cunego +11:21
Scarponi +11:22

Matchpoint Sastre? Or Arroyo? God this is so awesome now.

Holy moly...
Have to analyse stuff now...

Aren't there any precise user statistics? Making changes out of the blue without any numbers to back them up is... gutsy.

He's ok for the white jersey, but he can't compete with the big guys. Yesterday Larsson dragged him to the line, today he couldn't go with the maglia rosa group, even though they were riding very tactically. He should keep an eye on Mollema.

Ok, it's time to reduce my eight-gc-men finally... Vino Evans +1:12 Nibali +1:33 Basso +1:51 Garzelli +2:47 Cunego +3:08 Scarponi +3:09 The contenders of the big group today, minus Gadret, Mollema and Tondo which are already more than 6 minutes down. Honestly, I can't pick someone out of those seven...

Terminillo is of course 1000m lower than the Gavia and much further south, but who knows...
And maybe we will also have snow on the Gavia when the Giro gets there.

This first week is madness, 7 stages and the 20th on GC is 6 minutes down. I've never seen something like that before. Let's focus on what happened today, because the GC might look different tomorrow when we get the first real climb. GC won't change much between Terminillo and Monte Grappa, plenty o...

I don't understand Lampre and Katusha today, maybe they misjudged the parcours or something. I was convinced this was a nice stage for either Petacchi or Pozzato, selective enough to get rid of fat assed sprinters and placed before difficult stages so the GC-men would relax. They proved me right, th...

3rd posting, Aix started it, Aix est nul!

BMC much better than I expected, they took almost a minute out of CSF and they still have the best split time.

Dario Cataldo!

Ah, well, you know, one of the big teams will win.

Oh, I just found something beautiful! Trofeo Fast Team 1 TEAM SAXO BANK 30:22:06 0:00 ... 19 BMC RACING TEAM 30:39:21 17:15 20 FOOTON - SERVETTO 30:41:23 19:17 21 COLNAGO - CSF INOX 30:45:44 23:38 22 COFIDIS, LE CREDIT EN LIGNE 30:48:10 26:04 They don't even need mountains to suck!

Oh boy, this is getting worse every day. I consider everyone in the 8 minute group out of GC, Masciarelli, Pozzovivo, Caruso, Uran... too many to name all of them. Vino Nibali +5 Garzelli +15 Scarponi +16 Karpets +17 Basso +18 Evans +43 Sastre +1:40 Mascia+Pozzo out, Karpets+Garzelli in. I'm not con...

Hmpf.

Martin Kohler from BMC is a DNF today. We'll see how the other crash victims do tomorrow. BMC-1 is a bummer for Evan's TTT, that can easily be +30 seconds on wednesday.

Crashfestival...

GC:

Evans
Vino +3
Nibali +8
Scarponi +19
Basso +21
Sastre +57
Masciarelli +1:24
Pozzovivo +1:34

Really bad start for some of the climbers.
