Actually I feel very sorry for Jrod, he always loses a GT when in a winning situation due to the TT.

Where to start... none of this would be thought of as incompetence or fraud in italy. That's the curious facct about cultural differnece. Dont get me wrong I love Italy and Italians ... .

...go spend time there and you will ubderstand a little better.

T
My image of Italians is that they are wonderfully competent at all sorts of things.
.
But if going off course in the Giro finale is not just a mistake, but in fact is indicative of the cultural character.... well....?

Then he should look to take more time before the TTs or look to improve his TT.

EDIT: Or he could have hired Contador to race the TTs as sort of a stunt double.

I think he actually has done so. He did a decent TT in the opening stage.
But I fear 31s is too small a gap.

that Moto was redicilously close to Pinotti

He was towed for the first 25kms! Marco was in danger of rear ending him a couple of times.:eek:
When they got close to the finish, he pulled ahead.
Even Harmon, who is a Pinotti fan, said that his police escort must be a fan, too.
Blatant bit of Italian cheating.

Maybe Scaponi will be allowed to ride two up?:rolleyes::D

i don't, if your itt sucks you should gain enough time on the mountains to keep your lead. if you can't do that, then you are not a worthy GT winner
