Giro d'Italia Stage 8... Live!!

Interesting stage today, as far as guessing the outcome. It's largely a downhill run, after some early ciimbs, dropping into a long valley gallop. But the last 4km have some sort of incline to them. CN says it's gradual... then predicts Ricco or Bettini to win. Only half of that sentence can be right. I'd say watch out for Bennati, if the ramps don't get too severe. Otherwise, the usual Classics suspects. Maybe J-Rod can reel off one last win, before the hills turn to flats, then to mountains. Enjoy!
