<I>this is Italy, with a largely Italian peloton, so finding someone to gesticulate wildly and complain ain’t exactly backbreaking work. </I><BR/><BR/>MONEY! As I explained to my wife about why RAI is so wonderful for watching cycling, "My Italian is awful... but would you just listen to that authentic Italian gibberish?" They also know what to do during slow times, which is to take lots of

NLaNF - Maybe a little gimmicky, but so is Paris-Roubaix. <BR/><BR/>Contador may be like Indurain in that he's Spanish, quiet, and has the ability to win the Giro and the Tour, but other than that, I'd almost say they're opposites. Contador mostly lights it up in the mountains and maintains in the time trials. Indurain mostly hung on in the mountains, and made his gains against the clock.

My comment is -- about time. I was coming here to complain that you needed new content.<BR/><BR/>Personally, I loved the idea of a mountain time trial, and when I heard there was a steep, unpaved section, I was giddy. I wish I could have seen coverage of it. Although I fully understand that for at least 50% of the peleton, a climb up 24% gravel is a really really bad idea, particularly if they

I would like to hear your opinion on Cantador. Obviously, the Italians have been gunning for this tour since last year. As far as we know, Cantador, Kloden and Levi really didn't expect to be riding the Giro. As one would expect both Levi and Kloden have faded in the last few stages, but Cantador is now pretty in pink! Is he the Indurain for the new milleniam? I thought he was fortunate/deserving
