Stage 19: Vesuvius

[Zoncolan]

Will Sastre or Di Luca erupt? Or will the lava flow from the big diesel's Basso and Menchov.
Does Pellizotti still believe he can win the overall? Will he go for it again today?

Another poll: how many volcano puns will be made during this stage?

If I choose from the list then Di Luca will attack Menchov, who will respond with Basso as company...clear as mud.

 

[Zoncolan]

I think it will be Basso that attacks first. He might even win the stage if they allow him to get a gap.

Di Luca. He has to, and I think the sight of Menchov cracking on Blockhaus has given him an extra boost.

Is no one watching? Lance has crashed.
See for yourselves.

Rolled into the wall at the side there (just getting up, bike in middle of road, in shadow)
Back in the bunch now. Seems OK.
Does this count as informative or a dig, 53?

Lance crash may be sign of fatigue. He REALLY looks beat up/fatigued in his LiveStrong site videos. Mind you, most of his guest interviewees do too.

Not getting any younger, though, recovery-wise, it must be.
