Bwaa ha ha ha ha. Astana 29 secs down on Slipstream. They must be saving their blood for the last week.

They probably like this situation: they don't have to defend the jersey for the first week and their three leaders already have for example 35 secs on Menchov. Let's see how LPR does.

Millar must be in good shape. He'll have a good shot at the first and third ITTs.
Slipstream is likely to have a successful first GT.

Too much uphill in the first ITT I think for Millar, hopefully he'll be in a position to take the last (slightly downhill) one.

Wow. That was close. CSC must have lost a shitload of time on the last half.

 but who cares, they beat Astana. now the discatana will either: - say that their poor team was unprepared - immediately start saying that Barloworld is full of dopers - using the history of the riders forgetting about the astana riders & staff history |

Euskaltel can already call it a successful GT. They beat a team in a TTT.

Yep, I just thought, Barloworld?? wtf. But then again, I voted for Soler on this board's poll because it would be so cool.
ETA: Highroad's coming in .... |

A pure climber winning a GT...reminds me of the last TdF. Astana need not worry, if Soler looks like winning the Giro I'm sure information about Soler's questionable whereabouts surface

Well, I thought he maybe has improved his TT ability using a higher cadence or something. Seems I was right. ETA: Cadel Evans' team looks really great Last edited by Cobblestones : 11-05.-2008 at 01:39 AM. |
