That we don't have the same guy winning all the sprints this time. Not that Fassa has had a bad tour so far, at all - a prestigious prologue win and two days in yellow has got to be a nice change of pace for a team which has had so little variety in their victories. But the victors - Jaan Kirsipuu and now Robbie McEwen! I couldn't be happier for the both of them.
Question - will tomorrow, Waterloo-Wasquehal, be a sprinter's stage? Is there a significant precedent to this?

-Sonarrat.
Hey, c'mon, unlike the Giro he's got a lot more competition and you bet they've paid attention to how they set up their train and how to disrupt it.

And the fact that Fassa doesn't care as much about the Tour as they do the Giro. One of the strongest guys in the leadout, Cioni, is resting at home.

Oh, they care about it alright, but they're doubtless not as hungry for wins as others. 9 wins at the Giro... people will talk about that for years... Petacchi could hang up his bike now and his season would be superb.
