Giro d'italia SPOILER

[Flying_Monkey]

Makes it much more unpredictable - good win for Pozzato on the line after a wickedly fast run-in. The only teams with any kind of a 'train' are HTC, Sky and Garmin and they weren't anywhere near the front on this one. It was good to see Vinokourov and Cunego right up here, and showing they aren't going to take yesterday lying down - there's a lot more to come in this race!

Evans throwing swipes if not punches at the front of the group,mmm....Millar having a go too. Has Cuddles lost the plot again?

Pressure's getting to everybody..........

Trouble is these Italians don t play fair do they? Why cant it be mapped out for everyone like the TDF its just not fair!!!!

That was a classic Cuddles spat. I wonder if they'll carry it on afterwards!

Does make you wonder though, If he carries on like that no wonder he s got no bloody teamates around him when he needs them!

It's pretty clear that his team is conspicuous by its absence. I don't recall seeing him with them even during calm days and they're straight out the back as soon as the gradient or speed goes up.

I don't know how they can be so awful. I mean, they are possibly supporting the best rider in the GC and just cannot seem to be bothered!

Looked to me like the Katousha riders deliberately boxed him in, not surprised he was p'ed off.

Miller's out, and Farrer's contemplating it - now that he's jersey-less. According to cycling news anyway. No info given on why Miller's retired.

A couple of interesting lumps near the end of today's stage in Pantani country. Could well see some more fireworks.

Another good stage, with a nice local win. Henderson was just too knackered at the end, but that was a good performance for a sprinter being in the breakaway all day. Karpets made up a few minutes too with his solo attack near the end. The mountains are just going to be great!

can someone give me a link to a site with the individual profile maps of the stages?
