Giro d'Italia Stage 2... LIVE!

Well, maybe. Presumably RAI will be in business today, and maybe Jens can send some more Scandinavian stream links as well. Check CyclingFans.com for options too. Because Cycling.TV doesn't work on Sundays; they punt it over to Versus, which is on from 1-3pm Pacific. Considering that the stage might be a bit mellow for a while, two hours should make for some decent coverage, if you opt for the delayed broadcast.

The finale should be great, and Slipstream will be hard-pressed to save a six-second lead from the circling pack of wolves. The last 3.7km climbs at 5.5%, a grade which will invite the Ardennes riders to the fore. Look for Joaquim Rodriguez, Davide Rebellin, Paolo Bettini, and maybe Danilo DiLuca itching to light up the road after a quiet spring. Other possibilities are any of the myriad climbers not tagged for a GC spot, and some serious breakaway attempts.

Enjoy! Oh, and happy Mother's Day!
