The (good) morning news about Horrillo: His siuation seems to have improved a little during the night. He's not held asleep anymore, and doctors can talk with him. Also he's able to move both his arms and legs which means he isnt paralysed.
Plus his wife is on her way.  |

I really hope Columbia starts to help EBH in the sprints. Cavendish has not shown anything who can be called form. I also think that EBH with columbia in his back, could take the pointjersey.
How should EBH stats be in pcm 09?
Put down the crack pipe son. Cavendish is much better than EBH in a bunch sprint. |

11 times you mean. There's the 10th passage of the finish line on the map, but there is one more after that

At the moment they are far below the slowest calculated speed. First race hour was with 33,37 km/H 
The slowest calculated pace is 42 km/H and a finish time at around 17:27
Fastest is 46 km/H and 17:07.

Well the sun is shining. And no attack. So maybe some kind of protest? Making a third rest day.
And there will be no time taken for general classification i've heard. Just bonus seconds.

Rabobank is sporting a new jersey today, in celebration of the 100-year Giro jubilee. The jersey sports the Italian tricolour on the sleeves and collar, right along with the traditional orange, white and blue.
Another new feature is the logo of Right to Play, a world-wide children's charity. The team will auction off not only these jerseys, but also Denis Menchov's bike, signed by all the team members, in order to raise funds for this worthwhile cause.
Team Columbia-Highroad also supports Right to Play.
what?

A safety car involved in a crash and cause of that they are still showing motorspport (WTCC) instead of the cycling. About 30 minutes delay they say. I think they had their chance but since they messed up they should have just gone to cycling instead.
Guess it is cause they assume nothing will happen in the cycling yet for another hour or more. |

This means my bet won't go through, I should really start to ask who you betted on before betting ... you haven't bet on Sanchez right?
