Trying to wind me up? Nothings up. Who's in Pink? Bettini's had two close 2nd's recently & a fifth today.

If anyone wants to watch short highlights or the last kilometer try ~

LPR have two good candidates up top who I wouldn't bet against!

And what about Cav today! A metre longer and he would have had it! He was flying!

Maybe someone, at last, for British Cycling to really get behind??? I hope so.

I havent seen any interviews with him because Im not getting live stage coverage down here - how is his handling of the press these days? Better than in the TDF last year?

Whatever Emanuele Sella is on I want some. Incredible rides the last three days.

Today's T/T was brutal. 24% in places. More what I'm used to. Plenty of compact gearing & I even heard 34/28 mentioned a few times. If you can find highlights to see just how steep it was, I recommend you to do so. Excellent stuff, although I read that a lot of the riders are complaining about the route this year.

Those pics are out of control. God, that looks kinda fun.

At this point, gotta throw my weight behind Kloden (1) DiLuca (2) , Bettini (3) , and Contador (4). I can't wait to see it play out....

I was watching on cycling tv and it was taking these guys over four mins to finish the last 1KM. A couple of guys just fell to the ground crossing the line....IT WAS GREAT

Cars weren't allowed up the last third which was non tarmac. Riders were followed by two motorcycles, a mechanic with a spare bike the other with two spare wheels.

Seems that the strange three wheeled affairs (motortrikes!) were having trouble getting up.

Yesterday's stage was crazy, hardcore and fun! I am a Contador's fan (just love the way he climbs) and I would like him to win just as a FU to the TDF, but it will be very tough cosidering his lack of fitness. Also that guy Sella is cruising up the mountains in a very impressive way... So far the Giro is been exciting to follow

I think tomorrow's stage will be pretty exciting as well.  Everyone's within serious striking distance, and they need to get set up for the TT on Sunday.

FUN!
