I really thought it would be more competitive than this, Gutierrez has been impressive, but I thought Cunego and Danielson would have more. Savoldelli has got a problem with asthma and will likely end up >15 minutes back.

Given Vinokourov's problems with his sponsor cutting out, it looks like Basso or Flandis..
