Tirreno -Adriatico Stage 4: 243km San Gemini - Chieti

Hmm, looks like they changed the original stage, the 15% climb is still in, but many of the route has been changed to what was planned before.
On the CN main site, the old profile is still there, but on the main site of Tirreno itself, it's this:

Still hard, but not as hard as the previous one. Although Sasso Tetto is hard

Hmmmm... Indeed, far less exciting than the original plans. CN still has the old profile on the site.

He don't follow Cadel, He backed Gesink to beat him today

My thinking is, tip gesink and then he will be cursed! Then evans will win or do well!

Tomorrow is defintely the Queen Stage. 200km+ again, and the last 100k are almost continuously up or down. Right before the finish there is also a nice ramp of about 1km with an av. of 15% or so....

Scarponi owns the peleton again most likely

nah gesink! It will be a mini muur de huuy by the sounds of what your saying moondance

You can't go to bed yet.. still 18km to go in pAris Nice

Too tiring...

lelangue says that the final stage won't be too descisive.

And I believe that is Savoldelli next to DDL, he was either a client of Ferrari or Cecchini. Shame, Savoldelli was one of my favourite riders.

...and I'm just the opposite--I'm throwing flowers and cheering!

Greg Van Avermaet comes in 14th. Nice ride too by Rigoberto Uran.

Uran a name to look for in the future. Really impressed me in this Tirreno.
