Yeah I find if you take shots during the race the image is slightly squished not to mention part of it is blocked by the riders panel. Replay you can also rewind which helps a lot too!

Yes you´re right that´s also a reason for using the replay |

Stage 4 : San Jose - Modesto
The fourth stage should be made for sprinters like Farrar,Hunter or Greipel.Our main goal today is to defend Roger´s leading jersey but we still hope for a mass sprint with Greipel and Goss
There were many escapes today but no one could survive when the pack raised the speed in the last part of this stage
With only 5 kilometres to go Greipel,Goss and Grabsch were in the first part but it didn´t look great for us because they were all bushed!So we had to help Rogers to defend his jersey while he was really tired,too
Tyler Farrar leads the sprint in front of Dominquez after a brilliant lead-out from his team-mate Hunter
Farrar takes his first stage win at this tour in front of Dominquez and Barredo.Well,our team couldn´t persuade today but we´re still in yellow!

Stage 11 : Lucera - L´Aquila
Today is gonna be a hard stage!Martin has to defend his jersey but it won´t be easy.If we would come over the last big climb without loosing any time I´m sure Martin is wearing the leader´s jersey tomorrow,too
With only 7 kilometres to go no one was making a move so far that means Martin has a good chance to keep his pink jersey!There was even a big surprise with Mark Cavendish who was able to hang one after this hard stage progress!Well,his energy looked great but the stage finish is really hard,maybe too hard for Mark?
When the sprint began,Mark made a fast move while Szmyd was in front
Well,Cav couldn´t keep it up with Liquigas and Popovych on this final uphill section
Popo was the strongest today!With an amazing acceleration on this last climb he deserves to win in L´Aquila
Behind the stage winner was a Liquigas domination with Nibali and Pellizotti on the podium and Basso,Szmyd on position 5 and 6
Martin wasn´t strong enough to sprint for the stage win but he doesn´t have to win a stage ´cause he defended his jersey today without loosing any seconds!Cavendish becomes 25th in the end but I think this is still a great performance by him today

Stage 5 : Merced - Clovis
After the great stage win by Farrar yesterday we really hope to get a good results,too today.It should be a stage for sprinters but as you know Greipel and Goss are really out of shape at the moment
Goss could take Hunter´s wheel today while Greipel wasn´t in the pack anymore after the hard climbs before
When the sprint began,Goss lost the connection so he couldn´t sprint for the podium!But the sprint became really weird because I could see only Quick Step riders!There was only Quick Step all over the place
On the last kilometre Barredo could take the lead while Tyler Farrar tried to follow him but it seemed very strange today!
Barredo took the stage win in front of his team-mate Pineau and Farrar!Barredo beat Farrar in a bunch sprint?Omg it´s becoming strange now!With this stage win Barredo also got some seconds and he took the lead in the overall classification

Stage 12 : Citta Sant´Angelo - Porto Recanati
After a hard stage finish yesterday we´re happy about today´s stage which is made for sprinters.Cavendish wants to get more points because there are not many stages for sprints left so he must take this chance
There were some important names in today´s break such as Lars Boom,Mazzanti and Leukemans
With only 7 kilometres to go Boom was still leading the stage while the pack was catching Leukemans
We could build a good sprint train with Martin,Eisel and Cavendish but Mark didn´t look great today so it´s gonna be a hard sprint for him while Boom was still in front of the pack by 30 seconds
Eisel was too fast for Cavendish today so he couldn´t pass him while Ginanni came really fast from behind.Lars Boom was already celebrating his stage win
Great move by him today and he deserves this stage win!But where is Eisel and Cavendish?
Ginanni could even pass Eisel on the last metres,taking the second position!Mark Cavendish becomes 5th in the end,getting 12 points
Stage results
| 1 | Lars Boom | Rabobank | 3h53'39 | | 2 | Francesco Ginanni | Androni Giocattoli | + 23 | | 3 | Bernhard Eisel | Team HTC - Columbia | s.t. | | 4 | Matteo Carrara | Vacansoleil Pro Cycling Team | s.t. | | 5 | Mark Cavendish | Team HTC - Columbia | s.t. | | 6 | Mattia Gavazzi | Colnago - CSF Inox | s.t. | | 7 | Tomas Vaitkus | Team RadioShack | s.t. | | 8 | Francesco Failli | Acqua & Sapone | s.t. | | 9 | Paride Grillo | CarmioOro NGC | s.t. | | 10 | Tony Martin | Team HTC - Columbia | s.t. | | 11 | Jakob Fuglsang | Team Saxo Bank | s.t. | | 12 | Gustav Erik Larsson | Team Saxo Bank | s.t. | | 13 | Stefano Garzelli | Acqua & Sapone | s.t. | | 14 | Luis León Sánchez | Caisse d'Epargne | s.t. | | 15 | Enrico Zen | Colnago - CSF Inox | s.t. |

Stage 6 : Visalia - Paso Robles
The 6th stage in the USA is another one made for sprinters.Our team with Greipel,Goss and Grabsch couldn´t shine in mass sprints up to here so we really hope for a good result today
While only Grabsch and Rogers could stay in the pack,Greipel and his sprint-mates were already bushed with only 7 kilometres to go.At least it didn´t look like another Quick Step domination
When the sprint began Rogers was in front after trying to get away but Farrar came really fast from behind
On the last 400 metres Farrar seems to be too strong for his rivals today.He already won a stage in California but a second one would be great for him
Tyler Farrar takes the stage win in front of Dominguez and..?
...Barredo!It´s just unbelievable that Barredo is such as good sprinter at the moment.The bad news for Rogers is that the Spaniard could take a few extra seconds again!
