It was today...shocking! Discovery was not the best and now Gonchar is in pink! Looking good for Basso. WOW!

that's surprising, although Ekimov, Hincapie, and of course, Armstrong were not riding...

ps the team time trial is my favorite stage.

My favorite stages are always the mountains. I can't wait for Stage 17 and the start of the Dolomiti climing.

It finishes with a 5 mile (or kilometer) climb up a gravel road with pitches of 25%.

They were talking about 29 tooth cassettes....... I wouldn't be surprised if some were rocking a triple. I know at the Vuelta on the Angliru some were rocking a triple. That was a very similar type climb.
