Basso abandons due to bronchitis

Ah ha. I was wondering what was happening with him yesterday - he didn't look good.

 

[Carl0880]

What's The Killer's excuse, other than just bad form?

Lack of Bullets

 

[Moncoutie]

No having a good Spring Basso is he?

No having a good Spring Basso is he?

He won in Lugano - peaking too early?
With di Luca (urgh) also out Principe Cunego remains for the tifosi today.

 

[TourOfSardinia]

Anyone work out who's in the break at 2mins?
I heard Pineau?

 

[will10]

[Dekker_Tifosi]

Why is Rabobank working? For Freire?

Why is Rabobank working? For Freire?

I guess they are, yes. This is one of two stages which could possibly end in a sprint.

 

[TourOfSardinia]

Pineau
Bellotti
Moinard

[Ferminal]

Seeldraeyers
Kolobnev
