For tomorrow, Santa all the way. Hope he can pick up this win.
Good pick, i think he and Sanchez for a sprint...
Blanco is really a circus setup, continuing where Rabobank ended....on the ground!
Too bad for Scarponi though... (and of course there is Blanco stupid handling skills to blame, Scarponi crashed because of them)

I've heard a lot about BOUHANNI been the sprinter with the best climb abilities among the top sprinters but today he finished 19:31 after PAOLINI while CAVENDISH ho cant climb very good finished 8:27 after PAOLINI. Anyone knows if he crashed or something???
Please, stop writing names in Caps Lock. Extremely annoying.
Bouhanni is quite excellent on the shorter climbs, but very bad on the longer ones. It's really weird. Anyway, yesterday's climbs were too long for him.
When the two Dutchman almost overshot a right-hand bend, however, Scarponi tumbled to the ground as he tried to correct his own trajectory.
“They skidded in front of me and I touched my brakes instinctively, and I ended up falling myself,” said Scarponi
It's a bs story. Watch the replay, Scarponi couldn;'t even have seen Kruijswijk falling and then he already fell himself. Gesink didn't even fell, just braked very hard and had to stop momentarily (after a sort of pirouette on the bike he did). Scarponi and Kruijswijk simply fell because of some oil on the road, many others fell on the same corner later on it turns out...
It wouldn't surprise me if we got something like this:
That was back in 2007 . I watched it few weeks ago and i thought it was something like 2009-2010.
Time passes quickly!

Wish I still had pay Tv. Only way I can watch the race is through small 30 minute highlight reels of a day. Wish I could have watched the whole stage yesterday, it was a great race. Hope this kind of quality lasts the entire three weeks - would be a fantastic race.
