[The Hitch]

Leopard trek should not be here.

 

[Publicus]

.........
what?

Updated with further thoughts. Gained time on all of his rivals for GC. Need to see where Lampre and Liquigas finish.

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

BMC riding a very good TTT with this piece of crap team.

Impressive, only slightly slower than Sky

 

[Jamsque]

Here come the Swiss, and they have dropped a bunch of time in the second half.

 

[Moondance]

Lotto 21:21
Rabobank 21:25
Saxo 21:29

Good ride by BMC, 6th!

 

[Ferminal]

Cadel would have liked that time last year.

 

[Libertine Seguros]

BMC fall away in the second half, but a thoroughly respectable time.

 

[Mellow Velo]

BMC not bad.

 

[on3m@n@rmy]

Jeez... i need a new feed... i'm just seeing BMC finish now!!!!

 

[superconfex]

Would be ****ty to give it to Cav imo. He's winning so much why not give it to someone else on the team?

Agree with that

 

[Ferminal]

ffs, Lampre fail

Edit: Nvm its an ok time, in with the rest. Forgot HTC had the best time.

 

[Francois the Postman]

Leopard trek should not be here.

I don't know, I've heard the night-life in Torino is pretty good.

 

[roundabout]

Garmin are probably down to 4 as Le Mevel is just hangin on

 

[auscyclefan94]

hTC are dropping riders!

 

[superconfex]

HTC falling apart

 

[Moondance]

I'm surprised by the narrowness of the gaps. HTC will ride about 21:10, which will only be a minute or so faster than the Basques.

EDIT: HTC look like they're falling apart. Lotto could be in for a shock.

 

[Libertine Seguros]

HTC down to 5!

 

[Mellow Velo]

Rabon puncture.
5 v 5 for the US super squads.

 

[Ferminal]

biggest fail of the Giro could be happening right now.

 

[Jamsque]

Mechanical for one of the HTCs! And another drops! They are down to just five, this could be a disaster.

 

[spalco]

uhoh, it's HTC that's failing today. Will be close with Garmin now for sure.

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

HTC is going to win. 21:00

 

[Ferminal]

Nope, good stuff. Happy for Marco if he gets pink.

 

[The Hitch]

Pinnoti in pink.
