About time, I would say. He's like the red wine, he matures over a tour. |

Legally, he's french, but his genetics are portuguese. He just happened to born in France. |

and legally we're all from different countries, but genetically we're all descendant from a mix of people from a small italian village and a tiny swedish island.
moot point. he's french, give it up

Piepoli failed to start today's stage. he was 10th overall at the start of the day. this means the top 10 is now:
1 Denis Menchov (Rus) Rabobank 44.27.25
2 Vladimir Efimkin (Rus) Caisse d'Epargne 2.01
3 Cadel Evans (Aus) Predictor - Lotto 2.27
4 Carlos Sastre (Spa) Team CSC 3.02
5 Ezequiel Mosquera Miguez (Spa) Karpin Galicia 4.35
6 Samuel Sánchez (Spa) Euskaltel - Euskadi 4.42
7 Vladimir Karpets (Rus) Caisse d'Epargne 5.49
8 Manuel Beltrán (Spa) Liquigas 5.56
9 Stijn Devolder (Bel) Discovery Channel Pro Cycling Team 6.28
10 Carlos Barredo (Spa) Quickstep - Innergetic 6.39
also, this means the mountains jersey is back with SerafÃn Acevedo
EDIT: it's because Piepoli's wife is not in good health following child birth

Maybe. But Di Luca is in the World Championships, a good place for him will give him again the lead.

the World Championships are not a ProTour event.

the commentators are idiots 
no, actually, just Paulo Martins. he's a HUGE idiot who never EVER admits he's wrong, no matter how many times it's pointed out to him.
anyway, it doesn't.
the ProTour calendar has 27 events, and the Worlds are not one of them. just like the Nationals aren't
