I guess Petacchi will win tomorrow.
and to all the Edvald Boasson Hagen fans, yes he is a great rider, and maybe he can one day win a GC by using the Miguel Indorein metod, but just let him develop and dont set your expentations to high. |

At Hagen's age, Induráin had won several GCs in mountainous tours such as Murcia and AndalucĂa, and had won the Tour de l'Avenir.
Hagen will be a tremendous rider, but never a climber

that happens with almost all their sponsors (those one that didn't come with money), but it's very hard to see them, almost imposible.

Thoughts on today's stage:
- Cunego has been disappointing and doesn't deserve his wage.
- Di Luca has done what he could and managed 3rd.
- Rogers couldn't make the hat trick for Columbia.
- Edvald did 2nd easily and even looked back to see if he could bring Rogers into 3rd and to take some seconds out of Di Luca.
- Basso at one time was seen working in the front of the pack working for Pelizzotti. When will the madness end?
- Armstrong gets too much attention. Let it die. His age is no excuse, Horner and Simoni are as old as he is.
- Horner is a super rider. At 37, he shows how he's much better than some of the younger guns. Respect. |

I think Astanas Zeits is doing well so far. It's his first GT. 44th Overall.. Not that bad. Lets hope he can keep this up

And he is also the only one still riding with the Astana shirt
(Afraid of the Karzachstans maybe?) |

Lol I bet he is. I thought the same as Alex when I read that 8 of 9 Astana riders had a new kit.

Hard stage to predict tomorrow but something tells me Cunego will wake up from his graveyard and...
...no wait he will suck as always
maybe a Diquigiovanni rider will take the last hill to attack and spread havoc in the bunch!
otherwise I guess it'll be between Davis, Pozzato and... EBH
Thats harsh i think todays stage should suite him and he may try something at the end, especially as lampre are working on the front to close down the breakaway
But someone like Di luca will probably spoil my fun and take the victory xD
I like Cunego as well as you but from someone with such talent it's expectable that he accomplishes some huge results something that hasn't happened yet this year...

Well is a native from an ex-sovietic republic I think his behaviour is due to his patriotic fanatism or whatever you want to call it

My thoughts:
Hope Horillo makes a full recovery. No-one deserves that (cept Ricco, what a dick)
Horner
Levi looked to be struggling a bit on the hill.
Wish that move over the gallo had held on longer, that would have been an exciting finish.
perfect move by Svitsov

so much for Boasson can't climb. Danish people are really biased against him. hahaha Dude, it was a small climb of 3km, without any of the hilly race specialists, and he still dropped 1k before the summit
I really get annoyed by Boasson Hagen hypers now. |
