Imagine if Bertie caught Aru on TT tomorrow. What are the starting gaps 2' or 3'? |

Good for Aru, this is they only way he will win Giro. Like Nibali in TdF last year. |

He'll ride the course so fast that the space-time-continum implodes.
By the way, whos bike did Contador get? It couldn't be Kreuziger since he's about 1:30 behind Aru?

Contador got Juul Jensens bike. Kreuziger was in the firs group. |

I'm always missing the action thanks to stupid work! Looks like Porte can't catch a break here and the first time Contador loses a GT leaders jersery. How bad was Contador's fall?

Perhaps Sky should ride for Leo König the rest of the Giro ???

Porte's only 40 seconds down on him, and that's going to change after the time trial |

it was actually Tosatto's bike 100%, replay shown Bertie finish with Phil and in results Tosatto finishes with Phil. Unless Juul Jensen already had Tosatto's bike and gave it to him.  |

Guess you missed the time trial in last year's TDF:

Has there been a single stage so far that hasn't given us some form of action? For me, this is shaping up to be one of the better GTs I've seen in a long while.
Even a stage as flat as a supermodels chest shakes up the GC.

Some good racing for sure but best GT in while is stretching it IMO. I'm not sure I want action like crashes in the final 5 km, I would rather they finished it in a "boring" way safely. |

Indeed, totally agree - this has been an amazing Giro so far and we haven't even started the mountains yet! If the mantra of good stage design begets good racing continues for the 3rd week then we are in for a treat 
Also, not sure if this is just me being incredibly unobservant, but I only just noticed looking at the results from previous stages on the Giro website that they have changed the KoM point allocations slightly this year yet I haven't found a single article or anything on google that mentions this. It's a very minor point but I'm surprised that it is so unclear - you'd think someone somewhere would know what the point allocations are!

Well if you enjoy watching crashes then why don't you go outside and crash on your own |

There were quite a few big crashes in 2012 |
