LeoTard Prut sucks as expected

 

[Jamsque]

Leopard ****ting the bed.

 

[on3m@n@rmy]

Garmin seem to like to finish with the minimum amount of riders.

garmin + htc just about made a whole team

LeoTard Prut sucks as expected

That means you can't say #LeopardFail

 

[The Hitch]

Vacan sighting. Just makes me sad that Ricco isnt here.

 

[Ferminal]

Scarponi has to be happy with this... #1 of the GC favourites.

 

[Publicus]

Lampre road a great second half.

[Dekker_Tifosi]

Lampre 4th time

 

[on3m@n@rmy]

not bad for Lampre
looking forward to AleJet in coming days

 

[Jamsque]

Lampre turned it on in the second half.

 

[Moondance]

If Lampre hadn't been forced to sub out Adriano Malori they might've been very close to HTC.

 

[spalco]

I ****ing love the Liquigas Cannondales. Still the prettiest bikes in the peloton imo.

 

[Sasquatch]

Why are people surprised by Garmin?

Garmin haven't performed in a TTT for a while and they had 2 skinny climbers on their team.

 

[superconfex]

[Jamsque]

Garmin have won the opening TTT at the Giro before, so expectations were always going to be high. They put in a solid ride today.

Liquigas best of the GC teams as expected.

 

[Mellow Velo]

Shack smack!

 

[Moondance]

There goes the Shack.

 

[auscyclefan94]

3rd for liquigas, favourites are all quite close other than JRod and Kreuziger

 

[Libertine Seguros]

God's sake. Liquigas, you were my last hope. You failed.

 

[thrawn]

Nibali has picked up a decisive 8 seconds over Contador!

 

[Jamsque]

Rovny with a big mechanical, can that stop the Shack Attack?

 

[on3m@n@rmy]

shack lost Rovny so soon

 

[killswitch]

So no big gaps between the GC contenders (except for Anton).
