I didn't log on to BikeForums until AFTER I watched the stage on RAI. I've been burned by a spoiler in the title before, and I wasn't going to let it happen again!

BTW, great Giro for Contador. Here are some other observations:

- Great Giro and final TT by Pelitzotti - he missed the podium by 2 seconds!

- Ricardo Ricco is real piece of crap as a human being

- The mountain TT was an amazing stage ....... for a mountain bike!

- Levi wasn't lying when he stated that he did not train for il Giro. Contador? You make the call.

- I still love Bettini (the slap on the ass was too funny!)

- Sella was perhaps the best rider in this year's Giro. If not for some bad luck, he may have won. He will be on the podium next year.

- Did I mention that Ricco is a total ass?

- Simoni still has some pride, but not enough for a stage win

- Il Falco is still a class rider

- DiLuca put up a heck of a fight ... but he just didn't have it this year

- This year's Giro will be better than this year's TdF

- Marco Pinotti won the final stage and nobody will remember it

- Robbie McEwen came, saw, and left .... nobody noticed



Ciao baby!
