Yeah thats why I think Contador will win the giro, even though he rode much more impressive and fun in the Tour last year...

And he was quite suprising as a cycler, taking short cuts no one else dared taking.

How can you get afraid that the guy rooting for Contador is gonna make a post about cycling?

Ricco said after the stage that he hopes to form an alliance with Di Luca on the next stage to once and for all crush Contador. He also said that he's very disappointed to hear that Sella and Pozzovivo helped Contador whereas they should just have been sitting on his wheel. |

Great performance of Di Luca, and impressive riding from Ricco. It will be interesting to watch them tomorrow, because they know they have to get time on Contador before the time trial. |

Yeah but it was clear that they were not going to get away and that they were never going to catch ricco or simoni in the GC so there wasnt really any point |

not for Italians..and specialy no in Giro. I was looking few day's back TdF 1999 race's. There was 6 riders breakaway group with 3 italians , 2 frensh..and someone else. What they did...changed tour structure. Italians started to work together has team mates..then one italian atacked..and rest of two started to mess up group chase. |

I know that is not why most hate bruyneel but that is why i do - i need proof of some sort to convict someone and, despite his shady nature, i still think that i'd rather watch an interesting doper than a boring clean rider
