Disagree.
He's better in the 3rd weeks, imo and this was just a bad day.
That said, its doubtful he will keep a Top 5, although I hope he can.

Great win by Pozzovivo. He made it look so simple. Hope he has a great last week.

Let's see for how long Hesjedal can keep that lead.

Decent stage, Liqui controlled Basso's losses well.

Hesjedal has a stomach bug. American telivision talked with Vaughters.
Does he actually? That seems like a common excuse for him.
If so, he's gotta get used to European food

Yep.

How would you feel if you had to take a crap or puke for six hours but couldn't?

Eh... guys... I just thought of something...
Where's Kreuziger?
Ah, nevermind, there he is.

People say "stomach bug" when what they really mean is "had a really bad day".

Apart from watching Pozzo domination, a really boring final climb.
We need the Alps.

If he really had this, then his performance was very good today. I'll wait for his interview to have more reliable source though

No, we need people attacking. The Dolomites are a plus, though.

Who was that Saxo Bank-rider who looked pretty pissed? Beating his fists in the air as he crossed the line just now.
And why shouldn't he? I mean, he was sooo close to winning the stage...

Pozzo moves closer to the other favourites now. He could very well be a serious contender for the overall victory if he keeps this form all the way out.
The new main favourites' overall table:
| Rodriguez | | Kreuziger | + 26 | | Basso | + 31 | | Schleck | + 39 | | Scarponi | + 45 | | Pozzovivo | + 46 | | Gadret | + 2'29 | | Rujano | + 2'30 |

Hesjedal said nothing about sickness in his interview so I doubt 'stomach bug' was true.

Too bad for him, then. If that simply was him at his best then he's going to die when we hit the actual climbs.

Sorry to all his fans, but Hesjedal wil suck bad in the real mountains, when he had such problems on this easier one.
Great attack by Pozzovivo, still i dont see him as the overall favourite, he was never consistent for three weeks, maybe this will change.
Also Scarponi,Basso,Kreuziger,Rodriguez were looking great, always in the first ten places i cant see far than these riders for the podium.
