By the way, forgot to mention that Pantani hits the nail on the head - why put a bloody corner like that in at that point in the race, it's not funny nor clever !

Typical bloody giro finish. God knows what to do about tomorrow's stage.

Well done on Nizzolo though. He's a good rider so nice to see him come back to some form as he'd dropped off a bit.

I'm still not happy about today so going to take a step back first before looking towards tomorrows transfers. I need to take a chill pill I think after watching them highlights tonight.

It was caruso I had. Nizzolo was in my prologue team, but no longer unfortunately.

I have had Nizzolo since early in the race. About time he paid back my faith in him.

Very quick changes made for today. Don't expect to set the world alight today, but hoping week three will be immense for me.

 

[Horton's halftime iceberg]

I see Uran is second in the young riders jersey, looks like a rolling day today, poor old Cav nothing he could do again about the spanners around him with no bike handling skills.

 

[Woodchip]

Oh, the irony...

Riccardo Ricco's home town is called Bastardo.

Good old Eurosport for bringing that little gem to my attention.

 

[Horton's halftime iceberg]

Looked a tough old great looking narrow step technical dig for a finish, love the Giro for that, would love to have been there

Ryder rode a great solo end to try and stay in PINK think Roddy may have it with the win

 

[Horton's halftime iceberg]

Fantastic stage ending/setting, try and catch the highlights if you missed it.

 

[Woodchip]

I shall be watching the highlights tonight.

I'm really enjoying this grand tour. First time I've followed The Giro in any depth. The organizers are bastards for their tight corners in the run up to a sprint though.

 

[Stat Brother]

poor old Cav nothing he could do again.

Yeah that was my fault.
I will do the noble in July, and not put BW in my fantasy team.

Although I think I did today.

 

[Woodchip]

My predicted mare today seems about right. Of the top fifteen I think I only have ninth.

 

[Stat Brother]

Cav tweeted he was really looking forward to the finish, as the City looked the prettiest in Italy.
It didn't seem like he was wrong.

Of the to 8 (where are you getting the whole classification from) I have 1st 3rd and 6th.

 

[Woodchip]

Well done SB. You've opened quite a gap on me.

If you have an android phone download the Rabocycling app. It is really quick on getting the results up.

What a beautiful finish that was today in every sense.

1,4,6 & 10 for me. Dropping down that main Giro league rapid now, especially after yesterday's Pozzato affair, so currently in 22nd place. One nice thing today though, my total Giro score hit exactly 1066 points

Just discovered after watching the highlights that Pozzato had to withdraw this morning with a fractured wrist, so that's one transfer sorted. Wish he'd done the decent thing for my team and withdrawn last night - it would have saved me a transfer later down the line Fair play to him though for holding his hands up to take the blame for yesterday - perhaps that wanker Farrari can look and learn something.

Race is shaping up a treat now - absolutely loving it !

I've dropped down a bit today. Have to have a good think about transfers now.

 

[Stat Brother]

I've been so blinkered by possible stage winners and GC points, I completely forgot about [MENTION=12656]Pantani[/MENTION]'s rule #1.

Hoover up ALL the jersey points.

So that's what I'm after tomorrow, although I am expecting a bit of a reaction from Frank Schleck, not that he's in my team.

It's true, caruso has been my saviour over the last few days.

Trying to do my transfers and Pozzato has royally screwed me up here, even now. The simple transfers I had in mind for tomorrow are impossible now, and I don't just mean the obvious Cav & Goss switch over. Oh well, back to the drawing board.

For tomorrow I'm think more spring classic than outright sprint.
Hence a day for Frank, not that I could fit him in.
