Theyr guy riding well at the moment..let them enjoy. I just try to get them to be a bit realistic
Over-excitement only leads to dissapointment, I have LOADS of experience with that
Better not too expect too much.
F.ex this season everytime I expect nothing Rabobank wins a race somewhere
I'm not counting on him to win. Or even making top 3. I am hoping for a stage win, however |

5 men in breakaway so far. Veikkanen, Vandewalle, Popovych, Modolo and Veuchelen. |

Sunday's stage is not at risk. The stretch in question is only that of the last four miles on Etna,” said Giro director Angelo Zomegnan in a statement. “But on-site teams are already working to clear the road. We are calm.”

I will enter a depression if Veikkanen wins this. Was very close to putting a small amount on him to win this stage at 1000-1, but decided not to since he hasn't shown anyhing this year. Go Farnese Vini, bring them back! |

If the break stays, may Popo win. |

23km with 2:15 advance. Don`t think this will be enough for them with the "climb" still ahead.
But if so then Popo should be the strongest. |

Why is Visconti going for bottles and his team is pushing the pace at the front?
Go Roman!

Visconti has knee problems, so no favourite obviously.
Gatto proved a strong form yesterday as 5th on a hard stage. So they might go for him again. |

Also bye to Cavendish. As expected a quite hard finish. Will be interesting to see which sprinters are able to stay. Probably Ventoso, Vicioso, Gatto are the strongest. |

I can't see the Etna stage going ahead, it's not worth the risk, the volcano could erupt at any time, it's not worth it.
