If they feel like working for it then i think SKY and/or Orica can keep this together and win with Swift/Matthews. I do think the winner will come from the break though. |

I say a break gets it with the TT to follow the next day, guess it all depends on what team misses out on the break but don't see this ending in a mass sprint

Melbourne Hill Rd Warrandyte
Colby Drive Belgrave South
William Rd The Patch

Unless the forecast changes, a cursory glance at weather forecasts for the cities\towns along the parcours suggests that echelons are a no go. So, correct.

EBH looked awesome in todays leadout, if he can get into the break and get people to work with him he should have tomorrows stage in the bag. |

He went on "Maintain Position 0" except there are harsher consequences in real life.

So, it seems Matthews will go home sooner... weird as he got a 3rd place today. Just saw it on greenedge facebook:
"Team statement on the decision to withdraw Michael:
After consulting with our medical staff, we have decided that it was the most prudent decision to take Michael out of the Giro. He fought hard to get a result today and it was extremely impressive, knowing that he had a lot of pain after his crash the day before yesterday. He has a substantial contusion and is generally quite bruised, so everything taken into consideration, it was the right thing to do.
He’s had a huge break-through here winning a stage and carrying the pink jersey and he has definitely also learned a lot. The team has worked hard for him and we’re all proud to have been able to bring a young talent this far in his first Giro d’Italia. This year’s Giro has given us unforgettable moments already, but the race is still long and we’re going to work hard to try and get more success in the second part." |

I was going to say something but after today I realize that even if Nizzolo, Bouhanni, Viviani, Appollonio, Ferrari and Mezgec all abandoned as well, Farrar would still crash before he would win anything.

He was planned to withdraw in 2nd week since he'll be doing Tour anyway. Statement nicely played for the press though.
