BTW, Competitive Cyclist has predicted LA will win the Tour de France this year in their "What's new?" section. From what they've seen from the Giro. Not sure I'm ready to make that leap yet. We'll see.

Despite being wicked, super old, I predict Old Man River has a pretty decent kick, if it comes down to it.
I'm guessing this is just to make Di Luca chase, though, as three danger men up the road = no time bonuses for anyone else.

Two motos following the leader, Pellizotti, about eight surrounding LA.

Di Luca races to win. That's why he's the Killer. He treats these stages as though they were one day races, instead of the ho hum bore of the typical stage racer.
He's my new favorite racer, and if he's not yours (and by yours I dont mean zorro, I mean everyone), the only question you should be asking yourself is "why not?". He's Jens Voigt with italian passion, he's Paulo Bettini with climbing legs, he has the scowl of armstrong, and the kick of valverde, yes, he's the Killer.
