Cav is giving the CSF rider an earful for riding dangerously.
It wasn't just Cav, just about everyone had go at him, if you watch an over head replay he was everywhere. nudge McEwen out of line moved into Adam Hansen almost taking him out of course that wrecked Cav chances. He was everywhere! Muppet |

Ruben? 
Let's say, no Deignan is a average climber who had a few top 20 placings in a weak vuelta field. In this giro field, that's translated to top 50 on a good day.  |

It should be Koldo Fernandez , the best sprinter of Euskaltel I think |

Nope, the end of the world will occur when an Euskatel rider wins a cobbled classic  |

I think he is the best sprinter Euskaltel ever had
Before the best sprinter was Isasi , but he wasn´t really good , his best performance was the Tour de France 2006 where Isasi was 6th with 130 Points
1 Robbie McEwen 288
2 Erik Zabel 199
3 Thor Hushovd 195
4 Bernhard Eisel 176
5 Luca Paolini 174
6 Iñaki Isasi 130
7 Francisco José Ventoso 128
8 Cristian Moreni 116
9 Jimmy Casper 98 |

tuesday: very hard TT. it won't spell huge differences between climbers and TT specialists. quite the contrary, it's got sections at 15%. it'll show who's in form and who's not.
Wednesday, first mountain. a break should make it and the favourites should rest. we might have a new maglia rosa, but most likely it'll just kill quickstep by forcing them to chase.
Thursday and Friday, sprints are 100% guaranteed.
Saturday, Sunday and Monday will be three extremely hard days. Expect riders to be complaining by the end of it that "this shouldn't be allowed". it's that hard. after the weekend's difficulties, expect tired people to lose bucketloads of time on the mountain TT (gravel roads at 24%, anyone?)
after that, a week of sprints and transitional stages before the final three days: a hard mountain stage, a stage with the Gavia and Mortirolo (for those who know the Gavia and especially the Mortirolo, I really don't need to say anything else, do I?), and a short 28km TT in the final day.
Should be exciting

I wasn't clear: I meant the rest of the week, not counting the weekend. it's actually a sprint stage, a transitional one and a rest day. just 3 days. Tuesday-Thursday
