It looks like Bobby Julich's chances of wearing pink were lost when he
finished in the autobus at 21:09 today. He was extremely clear that
having the leaders jersey for a day or two was one of his goals for the
race. I didn't hear his name at all in the coverage so I am not sure what
happened.

I thought that the finish was interesting. The profile that I saw made it
seem that the last few K's were pretty steep and with the exception of
Rick Verbrugghe in the last 500 meters it looked like everyone was flying.

Dang! I thought he was really clear when he said he was giving up all his
early season hopes so that he could support Basso completely in the Giro.

Um.. Well, burning a bunch of matches and getting a good placing on the
GC doesn't help his team mate. Being there on the crucial stages later
on DOES.

dumbass,

he will support basso. but wearing the pink jersey was a stated goal:

"Obviously I am a competitor and I need to have some motivations for
myself, some personal results to chase. So I am still looking forward
to trying to take the jersey, if I can; if not after the team time
trial, then after the long time trial on the stage into Pontedera."

"Ivan and I talked about it since last December, that I would keep the
jersey warm for him, and then hand it over to him once we hit the high
mountains towards the end of the race, ... with the prologue, the team
time trial and a 50 kilometre individual time trial coming in the first
11 days, I will definitely give it [chasing the maglia rosa] a shot."

Having more than one rider inthe top of the GCis a wellknown tactic.
Seldom effective though ^^

Like Bobby always said "Dumbass, If you shoot for the moon, you might
hit the stars."
