One last round of Cavendish vs. Bennati. High Road will have to chase down any long breakaways if they want the faceoff to happen; Liquigas have too many other things to attend to. Presumably Bennati doesn't need to win to secure the maglia ciclamena. He just needs top points, and Ricco's remaining exploits probably won't quite catch him up. Bettini is another rider to watch, and he might be highly motivated to try for a breakaway as well (why not?). Anyway, almost nothing has been settled in this Giro, besides the KOM jersey, so there should be plenty of action. Enjoy!
