Who will win?

I think Team Sky will be in the mood to do some serious drinking after the pitiful display over the last two days. I cannot see any other teams beating them other than the Astana, where the celebratory vodka will be flowing.

I feel like the tdt(team drinking train) should be strong on Astana, especially after getting into the maglia rosa. The main rival of Gorilla Griepel is down with the ****s too, so HTC wont pose that much of a threat. Id keep an eye on BMC though, they've been riding like their drunk already.

Yaa good one. I think I hear ACF's purse whistling through the air.........

He's been AWFULLY quiet the last couple of days. I wonder if he got grounded or something.

OK, That WAS a classic

But Back on topic

Sky for me, Garmin, did have had a chance... before Van der Velde+Stage 3+road=badness

You know that Saxo and HTC will be pretty good as well, they both have some good power riders and the short distance will suit that

Astana will have to be careful. A positive test to vodka would be a disaster.

I've heard Sky were going to spend the day writing blogs on the race but all their computers crashed at the same time.

Andre Greipel is spending the day in Holland trying to find the wheel he lost during the sprint yesterday.

Didn't they do 3 stages on a Mediterranean island and then a rest-day transfer to the mainland not too long ago?

Considering how many riders were whinging about the transfer yesterday, could the decision to visit the USA backfire and lead to riders skipping the Giro altogether?

Well it is one of the more entertaining rest days ever. Between the BMC and Sky jokes, it's been almost as good as some of the photos in the clinic! :p

Also a fine line.

Perhaps a top 10, were it in another thread!
