Yeah, I had him written down for today. Nice finish.

 

[max_powers]

It said he had 1 Giro before.

2003:
Yaroslav Popovych was on the podium at 3rd place.

nice to see no Lance based commercials on US tv for a change

This stage is just simmering.
Looks like we might have to wait until Etna, for things to really hot up!

[TourOfSardinia]

With all this work from Farenese - hope that when the end comes Gatto is able to pounce

A big group just re-joined the peloton, it doesn't look like much of a selection has been made yet. Cav might even still be in there.

An unforgettable moment for you?

 

[wirral]

The betting on Sella went crazy after Harmon tipped him. Suckers!

 

[Wiesmier]

Is Adam Blyth still in there?

 

[Tuarts]

HTC going for the Cav win today!

Nope, no sprint for Cav now

Salvodelli on the motorbike reckons VEIKKANEN in the break is saving himself best.
Plus the wind is for, not against, the break.

 

[Ferminal]

That was Porte at the back?

Visconti feeling better or are they thinking Gatto?

 

[will10]

Break has a reasonable chance here.

Who are Farnese Vini riding for if not Visconti? Visconti was just at the back fetching bottles??

Popovych by far the strongest in the break I think.

apparently he was wrong

 

[TourOfSardinia]

oops there goes VEIKKANEN ! dropped

 

[Timmy-loves-Rabo]

Visconti taking a pull.

 

[Ferminal]

Happy to see Visconti still there and working, hopefully it means he's finding his legs.

 

[Jamsque]

Now things are getting serious, and Cav is dropped.

 

[superconfex]

Get the bus ticket out Cav son

 

[Timmy-loves-Rabo]

Pirazzi, I said in the young thread he could have an ok giro. Talented kid.
