That was one of the best stages I've seen, even with the crappy
reception from the weather.

Di Luca made up around 2:00.


Ricco, the irritating cobra, only about 30 sec.


DI LUCA!!

I can't predict podiums, but this reaction, I could have predicted

Di Luca opening up on the climb was awsome, but even Ricco's attack
was fun to watch if for no other reason than it showed us what
Contador could do.

I wonder what would have happened if Nibali had been given the green
to help Salvodelli and Co.

Yes, you have to wonder what he was doing there, he might as well had
dropped out and waited for Pelizotti

He was hoping his radio would stop working.

Contador should try to keep a better watch on the 2 Italians tomorrow.
On the last day Contador will hopefully gain a minute or two on Ricco
and Di Luca and secure the Giro victory.

You mean you support him? I used to but can't stand the bugger now.
Could be the Bruyneel connection.

Don't get me wrong, I'm not crazy about Contador winning. But who else
is there? I'm not going with Di Luca who is even more suspicious. Or
that Ricco, who for some reason I can't stand, (I think it's his
face). Jurgen VDB is coming close but he won't make it this year.

Yes. If Salvodelli had made more time, that would have really shaken up
the peleton.

Ricco` had some very harsh words for Sella and Pozzovivo:

http://www.gazzetta.it/Speciali/Gir...parlato19.shtml

He comes across as being one of those people who seek to convince
themselves that it's not really their fault, but someone else's. He
also went on about how he's the strongest in the hills. What a tool.

Either a salvo or a broadside.
