[Waterloo Sunrise]

DQ is really ****ing me off.

Every single team is doing a 'really impressive time'. It's like he hasn't yet noticed the clock comes up with 800m to go.

Strange tactics by OPQS, bringing the full team into the finish.

So Sky in Maglia Rosa
They really smashed the 2nd part.

Astana worse than I expected,but still good @3.place
Now its time for Nibali to gain couple of seconds in hilly stages

[Moviefan1203]

Well done by Sky. They were clearly the best.

 

[SafeBet]

Puccio saying they didn't even know the rules and thought cataldo was gonna take the jersey.

So when is the first hilly stage? Let's check...

 

[staubsauger]

I don't know what you are hesitating about? It was pretty clear that Wiggins after the ttt and the tt will have an advantage over his contrahents. But that's part of the scenario that might make him lose the giro.

He will have a big time gap before the first mountains. He will give some climber a long line in the mountains and controlling the main field and hopefully will have a weak moment in the last week or will do a totally wrong calculation like Discovery (& Astana) did with Rasmussen in 2007 and 2005. Or like the big teams with Rujano in 2005.


Big winners today imho Vini Fantini & Moviestar. Good ride of them.

 

[Jelantik]

wiggin won phisologycal war. Comes ITT he's going to kill everyone . 14' advantage from Nibles and further down for Ryder.

Disappointed with saxo performance. Even moviestar, katusha, lampre were much better TTT than them.

5 Vini Fantini 22:27

Hahaha, seriously, this is going to be so silly.

 

[Libertine Seguros]

Lol at the sunglasses on the podium - Wiggins is just too cool for this TTT.

 

[rainman]

vini fantini and movistar to surprise big time

sky most likely the winners

lend us your crystal ball mate, I need some lotto numbers.

 

[Ferminal]

There should be 100 guys fighting to get into the break tomorrow.

 

[ILovecycling]

Puccio? I thought Cataldo
