Blame the Giro.. Another corner close to the finish, another crash... Though I have to admit, I like it  |

That's what Pozzato meant when he said he was planning to do something today  |

Caruso has been really strong so far. Quite impressive.

This was not a good finish imo. This is the organizers fault. |

Does anybody know if anything has happend to Kreuziger? The Norwegian commentators are ssaying he's not in the top 10 after todays stage.
There's a fine line between "psychotherapist" and "psycho the rapist"

Don't think so. He was just behind Pozzovivo on the climb.

Kristoff caused the crash. He 'cut off' Pozzato before the corner (might even had shoulder contact, didn't see it clearly), causing Pozzato to hit Goss.

Also, NetApp are justifying their wildcard day by day. Daniel Schorn is on 5.

Well, when half of the sprinters are taken out and Hesjedal comes 8th, I don't think that result means much  Pretty decent but nobody will remember this result in few days/weeks imo.

Yes, thanks the brief results are up. Afaik he has a reasonable(ish) kick just suddenly found himself on the front too early. |

Not saying anything conclusive yet, but i still wouldn't have chosen them over a possible Maglia Verde winner. Also, Napolitano would have done bassicly the same in sprints, and they would have been able to put guys in the breaks aswell. (Betancur and Ginnani would have a decent chance of winning from a break).

That, but I think both Goss and Vaitkus took the corner pretty strange as well. You have a responsibility to the riders behind you when you chose your line in a sprint like that. Vaitkus should have gone through the corner and drop back on the left side. But Goss wanted to wait slowing all down behind him and Vaitkus just went straight ahead causing some other riders like Cav to fall into the fence.

Really, it would have been better for the organisers to be allowed to choose all the teams, not just wildcards as well as the WT teams. |

Ventoso hasn't been winning lately, nice for him. Have to see what happened with Goss/Cav, I can't remember a sprint stage without a fall!  |
