F.ex. that's great for a change! 
Although, I don't hope my comment had any effect on this update.
ok let me just tell you then:
this is the gazilionth time this happens
Flat terrain --> alex will do great
Mountainous terrain --> alex may have a chance. he might do great he might do terrible...
Not with Kirchen this season - and the results I referred to was almost all GC's in stageraces containing up to several mountainous stages (whereof he won a sizeable bit)
And people don't get all upset about this, I love this story too - I'd just hate to see Kirchen taking a podium in all PT stageraces and Rogers too. You completely misinterpet my intentions - I am trying to help keep this story as interesting as it is now, not ditch it
But let's not do this anymore, it's ruining the thread.
Great updates, btw alex

I must say that I love the picture with Sella winning, even though he's a doper. The picture is really beautiful

I love when you can catch it like that. Also, when you do, you have so many angles to deal with

Giro d'Italia Stage 10
Boom is in the breakway.
But after some attacks on the last climb the situation in the race was...
Cunego and Gesink were first to pass the mountain
Pellizotti and Boom were after them
Pellizotti is caught by a favourites group on the downhill. The same will happen with the other 3 riders that were still in front, Boom, Gesink and Cunego
Gesink makes an attack on the flat section and only a few riders can ago after him
Though the one who is leading before the last kilometre is Garzelli
Schleck, Gesink and Sella are in the chasing group. No Cunego there and he could lose his jersey
Sella is coming really fast in the last metres
But Garzelli takes his second stage in a row. Still Sella won something, he's the new pink jersey wearer!
Rogers couldn't make an attack on the climb, he did that on the last flat section of the stage and lost his top10 place overallfor only one second

I still could lose it as there more mountain stages than flat stages I think and another chance is that Cavendish or Van Emden crack in the mountains and be disqualifed. |

Lopez is easy to beat I think but Schleck and Pozzovivo who felt in a previous stage can take that away from me as they are way better climbers.

With 30km to go after the escapes were caught because of the strong wind the pack was split into 2 main groups
And soon the first group had more than 1 minute advantage over the second one
Gerdemann tries to place Eisel in the final sprint but it looks like he has no chance
7 riders are in front...
Gerdemann tries to catch them but Eisel isn't in his slipstream
The Austrian Champs is lost in the first pack group lead by Tankink
Though that they had 2 men there CSC is looking now like going to lose the stage win

The second pack group came 1 minute 56 behind the winner and 1 minute 16 minutes behind the first 'pack'

Talking about unrealistic transfers. |

Not impresive stats for Sella. I don't think he will really count for the final overall rankings in Giro but we will see
And if we are talking about stats take a look at Team Columbia stats now in the middle of the Giro and Volta a Catalunya
