good call-arroyo very well may chase the kom green jersey and end up in the top 3-8
much like the kom the last couple of years. don't remember offhand which
(arroyo or rodriguez) is the better overall time trialist.
some others capable of impacting the race overall (efimkin & valjavec from ag2r, soler
from barloworld, michael rogers-columbia & jurgen van goolen-saxo-bank) have been really
quiet so far. hoping at least a few of them aren't just using this as training for july;
it's a great field and we've got the potential for possibly 6-10 gc contenders leading into the
blockhaus/vesuvio/rome tt stages.
