No change for GC as expected, but that might come soon enough.....3 seconds loss for levi....dont spose much can be read into that

Leipheimer's struggled just slightly today...........I think with the next couple of days might see Leipheimer struggle if he's feeling bad.
Tomorrow is an up and down stage.

Pelizzotti looked good as did DiLuca.

Really looking forward to the rest of the race, it certainly isn't decided, it'd be nice to see menchov win....but diluca is looking good, did armstrong finish in the levi group???

Yeah Armstrong finished in the LL group.

You're right this race is far from over.
Menchov.
I love this guys poker face - even when the pressure is really on he never shows an expression!

Di Luca will not go down without a fight though.

LPR I think have a stronger team than Rabo - and that might just decide the outcome between DiLuca and Menchov.
Pelizzotti's looking good, it has to be said.

Very good, I'll be honest befor the race I was thinking....oh know Astana again....and not that I dislike them...there a great team...but it's great to see such an open race, might be the tour of the season, one can only hope the other two tours are as open

Nah, trying to think of something to say.

All jokes from me of course!!! great stage hey!!!

Armstrong finished 44th on the stage, 1.58 down on Gerrans and 54 seconds down on the di Luca group. Not sure if he was taking it easy or not though.

thanks guys
