LOL.

Well, apparently he is coming back into form.

Excellent.

He has definitely been looking better. Might have three wins if not closed off the other day. Today he may not have been super explosive, but after such a long stage the strength and stamina he showed was pretty impressive. Napolitano, I think it was, was coming on impressively. Some bumping and bad positioning got him started to late to catch Petacchi it looked like.

Yes, I saw that too. Napolitano was finishing very strong, but had to go around a rider that was leading some of the big guys.

Hushovd. Picking Petacchi is too easy.

How about Haedo?
That's a long shot.

I thought about him but I am not sure he has it. He lost time today.

Napolitano's due. I'll go with him.

Now that was a great finish. I was hoping for Brutt (he deserves a win), but a smart move by Arvesen.

Whoa. What a stage finish.

That was a heck of a sprint by Arvesen and Grillo.

What of Ricco being in the break and then 'abandoning' it early on?

Arvesen! Finally! He doesn't win that often, so even better when he does.

Well deserved.
