I see I've been beaten to be the first to ask will HTC catch BMC. But seriously from euskaltel euskadi to liquigas the TTT should be interesting with radioshack to provide some entertainment for the finish. Just for the record HTC FTW hard to pick against them in a TTT.

I put a little bit on rabo @ 26. Odds are too good to avoid, even if i do think garmin or htc (probably htc, they appear motivated) will take this.

It is finally here :)

Of the overall gc teams, this is how I think it will turn out.

Lampre
Saxo bank Sungard
Astana
Liquigas
Katusha
Geox

For the stage, HTC just over Garmin.

I think the Shack will do well tonight even if this isn't their top squad. Sky will be up there as Julich seeems to be a good coach for the riders when it comes to the ttt.

Would love to see sky up there, and although they will be well organised for this think they lack a bit of horsepower to challenge! Think with the squad they have a top 10 would be a good result!

i hope alberto will lose time to all the other contenders.we need that.
and euskaltel,colango and androni to come in one minute of the winner's time.that would be very difficult.

I think Garmin will just wait Lampre, do some wheelsucking and sprint in the last 300m. Or it's not that race?

Just had my first look at the Gazzetta TV website for this year. Oh happy days!

Anyone know when the earliest video is expected?

Joy to the World! It's Giro Day! The greatest day of the cycling year.
Indeed.
Start of Rai's morning shows. We already had a dead pan Zomegnan in "the bar".
"Who will win the Giro?" Cassani: "Contador"
"Italians???" Cassani: 2nd and 3rd.
He's just off to ride the course.
Weather is lovely.

The Gazzetta feed is supposed to start with pre-race at 1500 their time (an hour and 12 minutes fro now). The first team off is Omega Pharma Lotto at 15:50.
