Both of those guys are horrible time-trialists, can't that be the reason
but everyone of the last ones to depart is doing much worse than expected, except Pozzovivo
I think you are underestimating the effects of riding two back to back mountain stages full out compared to two days relatively easier in the gruppetto. If you look at all the other riders times who you are comparing the "favourites" to, they have all been in the gruppetto the past two days.

Holy crap Sella is doing a bad time trial, all the dope seems only to work in the mountains. Bruseghin is also, like the rest of the favourites, preforming under level
My guess, there has been some changes in the wind during the last 15 riders making it harder for them
Yes, it can only be that, or else the favourites are unbelievably tired. But it is strange that the conditions change so fast |

I don't really find it strange. Zabriskie won a giro TT and the tour stage 1 because of dramatic and sudden wind changes.
Which meant everyone overrated him from that point on  |

34:56 is the goal time for pellizotti. less and he's ahead of Menchov. more and he's behind. |

I have never experienced the wind conditions change dramatic enough to make such big time difference

34:20 is what Bruseghin needs to keep his top 3 |

Well, Contador wins the most boring giro in many years. On top of that he even not won any stage victories. God damn I hate that man :x |

Contador won. Not because he was best in the mountain, but best overall his TT skills are to good for the Italian riders. |

Stage races are won by the best overall rider, through the TT and climbing ability. Contador was simply the best all-rounder.
