    Giro virgin seeks help

    I'll be in Italy for the end of the Giro, planning to see the final two stages. I'm staying in Trieste and plan to drive to the Zoncolan stage. Can anyone advise what time the road will be closed and when it will re-open? Is there a source of stage start and expected finish times anywhere?

    Did you opinion of Lance improve after Oprah, worse, or stay the same?
