This Giro has been entertaining so far, even in the flat stages. Something interesting is bound to happen. Meteorite strike, sudden parade of elephants, something like that.

A borefest is impossible in this Giro.

I predict 4 flat tires for Aru, a collision between König and Uran, 2 surprising attacks from Contador, hailstones as big as meat balls, 22 crashes and Cheng Ji as winner of the stage after a sick solo.

Bring it on! :)

Good. :)

Earthquake that splits the peloton at the front. AST was chasing the break when it happened.
T-10 after the stage:
Aru
Landa + 38
Cataldo + 1.13
Tiralongo + 13.25
Kangert + 13.35
Rosa + 18.52
LLSanchez + 33.13
Contador + 43.07
Kreuziger + 45.02
Uran + 45.26

Aru and landa to wait 40 minutes on the next stage due to tidal wave to make it fair

Doesnt help either. Then Cataldo, Tiralongo, and Kangert podium...

If I calculated correctly, its not possible that jesolo is only 2 meters over sea level.
We know that Montecchio Maggiore is 55 meters over sea level, that this stage is 147 km long and that the average elevation gain is 14,05 %. That means we have to calculate (147 000 x 14,05)/100 + 55. That means Jesolo is 20 708 meters high.

Now I see why people have been predicting Uran to beat Contador.

Maybe someday there will be a Giro di Mars, climbing http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Olympus_Mons. A Zomegnan clone can be race director..

Meanwhile, we have reached the Venetian Lagoon. If the break makes it today there will be no flat stages next year.

Really enjoyed that you factored the starting elevation in. Because going up to 20,653m would've been childs' play. :D
