Er...no, why make such a stupid comment ?

And as a result of the stage, Garate and Caucchioli launch themselves
into 5th and 6th, and Scarponi launches himself out of the top 10...

Speaking of which, how in the hell is Bruseghin holding on to the top
10??? Fassa has had a few surprise GC performances, but I would never
have pegged him for it.

-Sonarrat.

He's doing well isn't he.
Cristi Anderson did say on Eurosport a few days ago that Bruseghin had been
told by FB that he'd be on his own as they would not be supporting him on
the GC preferring to get Pettachi to stage wins.

I think "collapse" isn't the right word. When I think collapse, I think
Cadel Evans in the 2002 Giro.

I was surprised to see DiLuca hang so tough and finish with Simoni. Good
on him.

Rujano wasn't happy when Garate took the points on Passo delle Erbe.

When Basso didn't chase Cunego and Simoni and they got brought back by
CSC, I thought that was evidence of level-headedness. In retrospect, maybe
it was an early sign of something more ominous.

I wonder how many riders keep little things to show the world if and when
they win a stage.

Payback for not taking a pull on the climb.

Glad to hear it. That's what makes cycling so much fun--there's always
room for a grudge.

Who is Salvodelli?

He should get an asterisk by his name in the records. Not for the usual
"done on dope" thing, but "did it with no team support".

cut'n pasted from cyclingnews.com today:

< Someone who clearly suffered today was Ivan Basso, who had stomach trouble
all day and vomited after the stage. Although Basso was too indisposed to
talk to the media, his CSC team director Bjarne Riis explained after the
stage that, "Ivan doesn't feel good...he had a bad stomach all day, so I can
say that we were lucky today because the team was strong. We managed to keep
the pace high for him so (Ivan) didn't have to worry about attacks. In the
end he didn't lose that much. And we hope that he's OK tomorrow...if not, it
will be tough for him." >

I guess he'll be suffering again tomorrow. Pity. He's a fine rider.

correct, when I typed that he really looked like he was going to lose
a lot more time. That will probably happen tomorrow since he appears
to be having "stomach problems" according to Mr. 60%. Like PDM in 1991
and Once in 1996 (1997 maybe ?)...

Just ask for "squozen pannini". There used to be this middle eastern
dude that walked up and down the beach selling that stuff. He wore gold
plated Ray Ban Aviators since about 2 or 3 years after they went
totally out of fashion. Maybe he has Wafarers by now.

BTW, that question would never have been asked if USPS was still the
sponsor.

One more tangent; Armstrong's crew sure has been doing a good job with
finding and developing talent. I was a bit worried about that back when
Armstrong was working on his first few Tours but happily I was wrong.

dumbass,

that was ken being a nerd because of salvodelli vs. savoldelli. other
favorites are columbia vs. colombia and peloton vs. peleton.

He was a painter with a ridiculous moustache. Did some pretty
interesting stuff with drooping clocks but I didn't know he rode a bike.

The guy was a fascist to the day he died, too. He couldn't understand
why people in Spain hated Gen. Franco.

Ehem!

Colombia, Savoldelli, peloton.

I live in British Columbia, and my house is several hours' drive from
the Columbia River Valley. Shall I have them fix the name, or simply
refer to the packs in local races as peletons?

BTW, he dropped out today, but there was one (British) Columbian in the
Giro, Ryder Hesjedal.
