Yeah. Just 3 wins. 3 random wins. Nothing suspicious.

Not yet, everyone have to wait for gazzeta's results which are always quite slow-ish.

Their 4 wins are WT wins though. RSNT has only 2(1 WT), Lampre 3 (0 WT), Saxo 3 (0 WT), and of course there's AG2R with 0.
And a win in L-B-L is worth many wins in other races.

He lost a few seconds on the big group, and probably around 25-30 on Tiralongo. More interesting however, so did Rujano.
Kreuziger was in the main group.

Sounds decent anyway, seeing as Larsson is far from a punchy climber  |

And so are Sky or Katusha. The point is not how suspicious it is, but that the might have few wins, but they're quality wins. *something about quantity vs quality here*

I don't think this climb suited Rujano. If he's in nice shape, he can gain time in the last week, or fight for a stage win. |

Yea, still the point Astana is not the only suspicious team in the peleton. And their wins weren't that random. Sky, well execpt Wiggins's TT I don't see anything special tbh Cav sucks on hill, EBH sucks on cobbles...seems normal to me
I agree about Rujano, expect him to take a lot of minutes on Stage 14 and Stage 20 along with Basso, possibly Scarponi.

This s how it looks between those battling for the overall victory. Will be interesting.
| Rodriguez | | Kreuziger | + 18 | | Basso | + 23 | | Schleck | + 31 | | Scarponi | + 37 | | Cunego | + 57 | | Pozzovivo | + 1'25 | | Gadret | + 2'21 | | Rujano | + 2'22 |

In the last week, I doubt it. This climb suited him pretty well.
As much as I'd like to see him doing a Top 5, I think he'll get smashed once we hit the big mountains.
