2011 Giro d'Italia, May 7th, Stage 1: Venaria Reale → Torino, 19.3km TTT

To be fair, didn't Petac win 9 stages there?

Well, yes, because there was little in the way of middle mountain stages (and not that many true mountain stages either), but then again Cunego didn't pop up out of nowhere at that Giro and he ended as CQ's no. 1 rider, for example.

DIDN'T YOU GUYS SEE RUJANO DOMINATE THE TTT TODAY

They were only 39 seconds down because he had to wait for his team.

He will win the Giro by at least 7 minutes and I will win €24000

It saves time when someone else already gives the answers.

 

[jens_attacks]

My velogames team is full of Colombians + Rujano so I hope Ryo is right.

you must be seeing the light like I am

Count me among the rujano-fans. I've always had a soft spot for savio's team, and think this giro is when rujano will show what he's capable of. Pleasantly surprised by their performance today.

the giro 2004 is laughable excuse to compare to 2005. it had brad mcgee being 8th, cioni 4th, gonchar 2nd! and christophe brandthout 12th right? one of the worst contested gt's ever. if it had the usual 2 itt's back then insterad of one gonchar would've won that giro... also cunego was 4th 2 years later in giro 2006 if I'm correct

PINOTTI/HTC! Euskatel-Euskadi L.R.. In 21 days, in Milan, less than 60% of starters will be alive! (Don't claim they went to Cal)

...until the etna stage...

I suspect we will have some good indications before then - stages 5, 6, and particularly stage 7.

Good performance by the shack. HTC and Garmin both went at it, good performance by Meyer. Think HTC will win 4 stages Garmin 1-2???? Can't wait till Etna and Orvieto
