As far as GC contenders are concerned the Giro hasn't even started yet.
Three minutes is nothing in the mountains.

It is when they're three minutes behind Basso with another time trail
coming up.

It's not like Basso can't climb.

And Savoldelli. So far he seems the strongest. Both Cuengo and Simoni
have showed that they are likely going to lose signifigant time in the
next time trial and Basso, couldn't hang on the only real climb so far.
However, Savoldelli hung strong in both instances.

Strikes me as a rather weak excuse. Ofcourse, the big climbs are different
from this one, so there really isn't any reason to believe Basso is going to
climb badly.

The thing is that SImoni is supposed to be the Giro leader, since he
is not doing the tour, and Cunego is slated for the Tour.
