VINO ATTACK to go shooting off the front over those two slopes.

Only to be caught at the line by a rampaging Belgian in practice for Classics Afterparty no.1 in a week's time.

It's a shame they're not riding the other side of the san boronto, would have been too steep for the sprinters. That being said if the pace is pushed on those 2 climbs it might be still. A good climber, with some ascending skills and the power to maintain the speed in the last 10km could win this one.
I doubt the likes of cav will make it over this. Last chance for the sprinters until the final stage anyway.
 
Yeah, Cavendish will take it easy tonight whilst Farrar, Boonen and the other sprinting climbers fight out for the win. Farrar needs to do what Boonen did and hitch on the back of the Liquigas train.

It would be nice to see Farrar actually compete in the sprint today, Boonen had it too easy yesterday.

Haha, that's pretty good. Maybe Tommke won't get busted for snorting some Bolivian Marching Powder.

i'm not overly impressed with the Eurosport main commentator, but Magnus Backstedt seems to know what he's talking about..

that crash with 5km to go seemed to reduce the peleton a bit, wonder if any of the contenders got caught up.

Bennati
petacchi
eisel
farrar
 
i loved the exchange between magnus backstedt and the other announcer who loves flecha asking if flecha might get involved in the sprint to which backstedt replied "no absolutely not"...and then flecha gets fifth in the sprint :p
