What a ride by Wiggins! All of my favorites are up there, Wiggins, Cadel, and Vino. Think this changes Wiggins plans to use the Giro for training? It has to be tempting to try and win the race. Anyone else pay the $15 for the live coverage on Universalsports.com? Pisses me off that we had to pay this year

I'm backing Vino for this one. Wiggins will get some great race miles in before the Tour, be interesting if he can follow up on his Tour last year...

I'm rooting for Vino as well. I want to see him attack on a downhill and drop everyone else. He'll make the race interesting because he rides with balls.

Vino in pink! The time Cadel lost today he will struggle to regain. I think the big test will come in the third week since Vino has been out of the fold for a while.

Farrar for Stage 10!!

They kept saying it was a classic field sprint...but it didn't look like anyone but Julian Dean, Sabbatini, and Farrar had anything...

The slo-mo video of Farrar coming to the line from head on is ridiculous...the amount of power being put down and the frame flex is insane!! Now I know how I cracked my last road frame...

Crazy action today and everything all of a sudden becomes a lot more interesting.

Only caught parts of the last 5 minutes of the stage. Saw the results though. Really strange. I knew things would be interesting when I saw on the text updates a huge gap that had Sastre, Wiggins and others in it. Still strange.

Cadel, Vino, and Liquigas dropped the ball today. I think it was a big mistake to let Tondo climb so high...that guy is a good climber.

Sastre is kind of back in this, all of a sudden. He won the TdF on a solo suicide attack up d'Huez, there are PLENTY of places to come in Italy to do just that, and conceivably pull back quite a bit of time...

Not to mention Vino's trademark hail mary...

Wow...pretty exciting stage finish for what was supposed to be a "boring" stage...

Vino just didn't have enough...but was close!

Cadel is a cock of the highest degree. What a douche. I don't care if the other guy he was sparring with was the actual cause of the mid-pack fisticuffs. Cadel and his whiny-bitchyness need to go away.

Crazy times in Italy.
