Evans is in the form of his life but I can't see him mounting a convincing enough attack in the mountains to swing it. Wiggins will lose out a bit to sastre on the hills but should pull some back in the TT's. Basso is a real unknown quantity at the moment, maybe he'll ride into form Ullrich style...any which way, it's going to be awesome!

I can see the conversation between the teams...
"You do the work."
"No, you do the work."
"Well, I'm not if you're not"
"Well I'm not if you're not!" -
What was that all about?
-
Is this sort of behavior tolerated? I mean sitting at the front blocking the peloton from chasing, not having a punch up.
Well, it's hard to block the road on a bike, innit? And no, I don't think Cadel tolerated it!
I suppose that if a whole team or teams made a road block then there might be a problem.
-
Yeah that's the image I had when I read they were slowing the chase, whole team(s) at the front easing up. Obviously Evans shouldn't expect anyone other than his own team to work for him, and throwing punches is not very sporting.
Glad Vino had nothing to give.
Obviously hadn't had his "weetabix". -
The profile for the next TT on tuesday looks intense:

http://www.gazzetta.it/Speciali/Giroditalia/2010/pdf/altimetrie/alt_16.pdfWas it too hard for them to put a key and scale on that? Either way glad it's them and not me.

scale? it's in the lovely world of metrics so my guess is 2273m climb over 12.85km
Well I'm sorry but that's a bit presumptious. Perhaps it's the scientist in me but you display the units you are using (and to be pedantic the climb is surely 1086m) not just a set of meaningless numbers.

Schleck did not look good in the ToC yesterday. Got dropped by the sprinter train on the climb at one stage!! :-S
did schleck have an injury in the early part of the season?

Yeah I see what you mean and agree, if you do diagrams you should put key etc on there but I don't think it's that necessary for an italian paper to do so, since they only have one system to cater for

I still think Evans or Basso will win. Next week is brutal and I can't see Wiggins or Sastre holding on. The rest of the beneficiaries of today's stage aren't GT winners.
