just had a look at the last week, tues, wed flat with a bump at the end , thurs mountain TT, Fri and Sat big mountain finishes. i can understand why the main GC riders didn't attack too much today...

this has break away written all over it.

Fabio Sabatini

Garmin and Cannondale need to take something away from this race so pressure is on.

thanks

GT's are getting a bit boring now a days (having been for a long time) GC riders not attacking until the last 2 or 3 kms.

organisers are saying the stage will go ahead as planned just finishing 4.5km short of the summit of the Col du Galibier

there seems to be a virus or something going through the peloton just hope he doesn't catch it and i've nopt looked at next weeks profile but it's said to be tough, so yes there is a long way to go....

ok what are you going to do Mr Barilsford? plenty more mountains to come and not flat ITT, you've got one rider who is climbing well and another not so.

give rain out for this week in Italy

Gesink
Scarponi

thanks

OK I got a bit excited saying Nibali has won it already although i still think he'll take some beating. I think the rider to watch is Scarponi, think Nibali can stick with most of the other GC guys,...

Garzelli
Fabio Sabatini

Well done Alex Dowsett but massive performace from Nibali, surely just won the giro (baring accidents) with that ride.
