My question of the day:
What dumb ass ***** will Simoni say in the post-stage interviews today?
"I should have won, but the 8 guys ahead of me all cheated."

predicted dominance of Armstrong in the Tour that year (was it 2003?).
Case in point: The Basso extraterrestrial quote and the Cunego "bestardo" statement after the 2004 ambush.

Looks like Millar was doing good till the first time check and then either backed off/felt bad/has a mechanical.
Interesting TT course. I saw Rujano in the top 10 for a while. Looks to slightly favor climbers over TT specialists.

"It’s going to be a super hard time trial! 18 km flat and the rest up hill. Only Christian and Ryder will be going for it today. The rest of our boys will be going through the motions. We have a long way and a lot of very big mountains to come!"
I'd like to be able to go through the motions like that.
