    Right, questions….

    Who will win todays team tt?

    What stages, if any, will cav win?

    Just got back from the Giro, here are a few photos that I managed to get. The fuss about the state of the roads seems quite over the top. Granted there were tram tracks on the circuit which before the stage I thought would cause a problem and yes they caused one crash. As for the cars on the circuit, these were primarily on wide roads and were clearly visible. Not perfect I know and I wondered why the authorities were leaving it so so late to barrier off the course and close roads.
    Still, Im grateful that the riders did continue the stage as I would have been gutted if they had just stopped!

    cheers tony, I’ve just watched some highlights on rai…cobbled section looked tough. hope the rider involved in the crash recovers soon. milan is gearing up, looking out of the window all of the giro cars are gone and loads of people are donning pink. 27degrees at 1pm is forecast so its going to be a warm day for a fast, flat ride. predictions? I think that cav took it easy yesterday (judging by the group he went past us in) so he may want to go for it today. he hasn’t won a sprint in the giro yet so perhaps he will try and work on that, petacchi is looking good though.
