I wouldn't say menchov's performance was a result from fatigue (from giro) I'd sooner suggest the fact he hasn't raced in over a month, made it hard for him to get any rhytm goin, that and i doubht he prepared very well for the stage 1 ITT, is the reason for his poor time.

There is chaos to come in the mountains this year i feel. I think by stage 7 he will be riding like his normal self, Should be an interesting stage. (edit, just realised you said today's stage, my bad)
the Rabo TTT should be interesting to. After yesterday I'm almost expecting Contador to be at least 2 mins ahead of all his (excluding his team mates, which should add an interesting Astana war aspect on stage 7 also) rivals. It might be a very good thing though (for us, the viewers), at the very least it will result in a very aggresive battle in the mountains![]()
