The conclusion is - very predictable TT.
What I want to know is what do you think how much time Di Luca will lose on LL and Menchov. That is real question for tomorrow.
I say 1:20 on Leipheimer and little less than a minute on Menchov.
A tough one. Yesterday I would've said 3-4mins but after looking at the stage profile more and thinking about it I'd say 1-2mins.

I have a hunch that LL will not win this stage. He fell today. Hogstana came to the front during the climb and the decent, likely to avoid a repeat of yesterday. Maybe LL is a little bit more injured than he's letting everybody know.

Agreed. Armstrong by 38 seconds over LL. He'll then work for LL the rest of the Giro.

You know there is this thing called the Internet, where you can go to a site such as weather.com, and get weather updates for anywhere in the world. Such as where the Giro is racing. Give it a try!

But he hasn't scouted the course, compared others who have.

Menchov, Leipheimer, should feature.

I think Mick Rogers could well win this.

My nap selection is..................................................Damiano Cunego.

You know there is this phrase called 'get ****ed', which is often used when dealing with unfunny cockheads.

Could be one for Satstre.
I'm favouring Menchov for top 3.

Might have picked Bruseghin for the TT but he hasn't really been going as well as I thought he would this year.

Velonews is betting Armstrong for second place after Leipheimer. My bet is he can make the top10 but certainly not a second place finish. Besides why would Astana let him waste all his energy on the TT when they need him to help LL in the mountains.
My bet is still Leipheimer but we'll see about that in a few hours.

Lance looks very fidgety on his bike.

Siutsou is going to be Columbia's GC man with the failure of Lovkvist and Rogers (he was their leader anyway). They may aswell focus on Boasson-Hagen for the points jersey now.

Menchov looking unbeatable.
