Typing with mobile is not easy(for me), especially when the wifi sucks. |

Looked like a good stage though, only watched the last 4 kms 
You didn't miss much. The final 12-13km were interesting, the rest was dull as hell.

One of two things.
1) Tinkoff hit him in the face because he lost a second to Aru
or
2) He was hit by the champagne cork that Tiralongo shot into the air.

Interesting that Amador and Visconti still is able to hold on. I know that the mountains so far havent been big, but one of them have a chance of getting a top-10 I feel. Maybe Amador more so than Visconti.
Same can be said about Izaguirre, after the hard stage in Liguria I thought he would focus on stage wins, but he seems to be going fine and will surely pass some rider in the ITT. He should try to catch a break in the next week and get higher up tho, unless he somehow shows he is one of the 5-8 best on Mortiroli, Finestre etc. which I doubt. |

Aru with Astana (seems like at least they take Giro seriously..and Tinkoff wasted at first week he's team) has been scary strong .
Contador is just waring 3rd week and one specific stage to go..so far he will just follow and will ignore screaming Tinkoff |

Paolo Tiralongo is the oldest stage winner ever at il Gir.
He's 188 days older then Ale Jet was when he won the opening stage in 2011.

Just wondered, after 8 stages, to be 2 hours and 38 minutes behind the leader must be some sort of record at least the last 10 years? |

I think you're right. It's a quite astonishing considering the fact that the Lantern Rouge usually ends up about 4 hours behind the leader in the end and we've just finished week one. |

Skip ahead to Saturday (or at least Berico), por favor!
The big questions: How much time can Uran get back and how far between eachother are Aru, Porte and Contador? I say no more than 1.30 between Aru and Porte, I think Porte has lost a step due to his weightloss and Italians (also climbers) have always done relatively well in ITTs in the Giro. I dont know what to make of Contador tho, its kinda bold, but I think Aru will do better than him. |
