Damn that was a fine stage

DiLuca and Simoni went down swinging for the fences. Savoldelli owes
Lotto. Rujano drives me nuts.

Discovery owes Lotto. When the going gets tough,
the tough go shopping.

My thoughts entirely. Discovery are going to have to pay that one
back. BTW the British Eurosport comentators were quite scathing about
the lack of team mates available to give him support, not just on this
stage but generally.

That's what happens when you fill out your roster with lunch meat.

Hein Verbruggen just emailed me to point out that this shows the
strength and well-thought-out character of the Pro Tour.
Even though the PT requirements basically force each team to send
lunch meat to at least one of the three Grand Tours,
Savoldelli has managed to (provisionally) win the Giro
with his deli plate (no disrespect to the Disco Channel riders).
When life gives you prosciutto, make panini.

Oh, that wacky Verbruggen!

The journey was entertaining, but there was no real drama or a
conclusion that will make this stage epic or eternal. Everyone faded
away and the top 5 remained unchanged for chrissakes! If only Simoni
could have hung with Rujano.

You don't think "guy has jersey, guy loses jersey, guy gets jersey back"
is dramatic?

If Simoni had hung with Rujano the top 5 would have remained unchanged.

Thanks. It's good to know my efforts aren't in vain.

Well, Rujano sat up just a little before the line. Simoni would probably
have had the sense to drive it all the way, or would even have bought
the win including bonus seconds. Besides, Savoldelli still should get a
10 s penalty like Di Luca got, for being pushed on the climb.
