No you are completely misunderstanding.

When we say 'not using it' we mean that the teams don't ride a hard pace to make a selection. They are currently riding soft pace on the Agnello, so they are not using the climb to make a selection.

It's a matter of saying

Yeah, I understood what you meant. There was talk earlier that they might not use the Galibier due to weather, so I was concerned that might be the case.

Well as usual us here in Oz are being subject to Tommo's idiocy instead of getting coverage of today's stage. :(

Still,watching Matt Keenan explaining some of the intricacies of the stage,and racing in general,as Mike nods his head (like he's about to fall asleep) is amusing-you can see that Tommo doesn't understand any of what Matt's just said. :rolleyes: :p
At least you don't have the cooking show beforehand this time...

seriously did any of you REALLY expect anything to happen on the agnello?

of course. they need good pace on angello to attack on izoard. galibier is full of wind. but I think contador might be injured and schelcks are swcared

the only bad thing about nibali stepping up to be a main GT rider is that the fearful liqui train is now split in 2 and isn't nearly as powerful :eek:

In the giro 2010 Szmyd would reduce the peloton to like 10 guys on the agnel alone

Fixed it for you.

Samu said they'll be trying for the stage win... :)

Does that include Contador winning?
