If Cunego wins the Maglia Blanca - does he get the points, even though he shouldnt even be able to win it - or should the 2nd placed young rider get it?

I best Saunier Duval in the prologue 
Eh? The only ProTour team you beat was Milram!! Bouygues were crap in it.

Oh yeah, I see i forgot to include Petacchi. I regret it a bit, since it IS italy and all.
But then, there are more potential sprint finishes in both france and Spain, so I guess we will se at the end of the season if it was wise!

Where the hell did I get beating Saunier Duval from - a big slip of the old noodle there

Anyway, good start by Plaza, but he won't last 
I think Di Luca will struggle once we start hitting the real mountains, and we'll see Piepoli and Simoni pull away from the rest - whether they'll hold it in the time trials is another question all together

Well, well..
Bettini has no hope now, so it's up to Danielson.
1 prologue, 1 stage - looking good. |

Yup, you have 2 guys on 5 points and 1 guy on 3 points.
Hopefully Hunter can sneak a top 3 spot in the sprint.

Bennati's looking good, I think doddy should be angry with McEwen, he's by far and away the best sprinter

You should see him in Stage 5, hanging on with the climbers for a very very long time. But I wont spoil it for you, Ive only got 20km to go.

the gap for Simoni, is now down to 56secsB)
very nice results there but it would've been different if it had been giving the proper mountain status

I demand Cauccholi be banned from all racing for the next two season, and his team SEVERLY punished for this deliberate and foul act!
"Things go from bad to worse for T-Mobile as Caucchioli goes down, causing Kirchen to crash."
and Gaaaah, Axel Mercx is now my best bet for glory. The Humanity!!!

On the bright side, Mazzanti did well but in the mountains it will be turned around, Mazzanti losing time while Perez Cuapio will be up front
