Stage predictably mellow thus far as they get into the final circuits. Leonardo Scarselli is trying to steal the day all by himself. No way does he get caught in the final KM or anything.
Enjoy!

"The only port of the austro-hungarian empire, now a strategic point in world petro politics"
(passing along some Universal Dude wisdom) under allied control until 1954, irritating the woud-be italian populists; when the Giro passed in the early 50’s, it was received “with joy” and many signs.

Garmin Train
I'm not Bob Dylan but I never miss a beat.
I ain't no philosopher, I dance in the street.
The Dirk Hofman guy is still here
who needs Didi?
So, Garmin is so confident
in Farrar?!!
just seeing the startlist, and besides Petacchi, Farrar Cav, and Davis no other big sprinter, a bit strange!!
Hunter, Gasparoto…
Go Farrar! :-P
I love C, not because he rocks as a cyclist, but because deep down he's a band geek! LOL!
You'd think Lampre would be trying to contest this sprint...
WIllier’s from Trieste too.
Gotta be Farrar

Race leaders should wear the pink jersey along with their regular shorts. Enough of this full-body-pink-nonsense.
unless the shorts are white...
