Re: Porte, he is in the fortunate position of falling into the GC role for Saxo. They should TTT well so it will come down to how well he climbs but the White Jersey wouldnt be a silly thing to aim for.

VICTORY FOR WOUTER WEYLANDT! Greipel was totally caught out, coming around the final bend and the Quick Step rider holds of Rabobank's Australian sprinter Greame Brown with Robert Forster in third place ahead of Danilo Hondo and young Brit Adam Blythe. The pink jersey of Evans leads the second group over the line some 45 seconds back so the maglia rosa goes to Vinokourov.

Source: BMC Racing TeamA crash in the final 10 kilometers [sic] of Monday's stage of the Giro d'Italia held up Cadel Evans long enough to take the maglia rosa off the back of the BMC Racing Team's world champion.
How It Happened
Evans was not hurt in the crash, but even a furious chase could not keep him from conceding 45 seconds to stage winner's Wouter Weylandt's small group. "With 10 km to go, I had done everything right, I put myself everywhere (to be safe) and was relaxed and there was no wind," Evans said. "Then, I came around a corner and the whole Sky team was on the ground. (Suddenly), guys were falling on top of me. Losing 40-some seconds to my competitors isn't something I wanted to give up."

Team Garmin Transitions’ Christian Vande Velde crashed today during stage 3 of the Giro d’Italia, suffering a broken right clavicle and forcing him to withdraw from the race. He will undergo surgery Wednesday in Antwerp and after that will work with the team’s medical staff on a recovery plan.

Weylandt's take on it as reported in Cycling News...
AndrewAfter the finish, German Andre Greipel (HTC-Columbia) and Weylandt got in an argument. An angry Greipel had some words with the Belgian.
"It was pretty harsh," Weylandt said afterwards. "I had the feeling towards the end of the stage that Greipel wasn't going very well. I thought he had combined something with [stage 2 runner-up Matt] Goss, and I anticipated it. Goss changed his direction. I followed him because I suspected Greipel would leave a gap to let his leadout man go. That's how I touched Greipel's wheel, but it was just a normal move."

Gotta admit, bad luck for him, but good he didn't get injured.
Puts Astana under pressure early though as well to keep the MR.
I hope that Porte can keep hoing and hold the White Jersey for a while, if not till the end. Nibali will be his main competition though.
Bad luck for VandeVelde though.
Be interesting to see what Wiggins does now, whether he goes for the stage wins or just "trains"

Cadel's last twit was ...norbs wrote:I see Cadel is whining and bitching on Twitter again. God almighty, I try to like the bloke, but he is such a bitch.
or is it this one that you have your knickers in a knot about ..Key to a 3 week stage race? Recovery....that explains why we're (Liquigas, Garmin, Bmc) nearly at our hotel at 1230am...?
If that is what is upsetting you then maybe you should un-follow him as you seem to have a serious issue here.What a day. 225km or nerves and crosswinds, to be taken out from behind at 9k to go...Grrrr..
Personally I like his honesty and that he is human ...

his quirkiness is of secondary importance, this isn't australian idol it's pro cycling.

I assume you are one of his die hard fans. I don't have any serious issues, I just don't like the bloke. I have met him a while back and he was a complete tool then. After some of his out bursts over the last few years, I have even less time for him. You don't mention his diary post anywhere.Aushiker wrote:Cadel's last twit was ...norbs wrote:I see Cadel is whining and bitching on Twitter again.

This from a bloke who has head butted media and lashed out at people. Read his diary and it is littered with his negative rants about one thing or another.My apologies too...after the finish, I firmly defended my young compatriot Richie Porter from the stampede of an inconsiderate cameraman, sorry....I don't have much tolerance for those who treat others like manure.
I would much rather read something like this.
There are plenty of pro riders on Twitter, not many are as negative as Cadel. You're right, he is honest and human. Obviously a miserable human.bradwiggins : Team Sky all pretty bumped and bruised this morning but it hasn't stopped us laughing, out for another big day today

I think what gets to people is not that he's whinging about things unnecessarily (sure, those things would make you upset), but that he just whinges about these things a lot. Why not write about the positives instead of all the negatives?Aushiker wrote:If that is what is upsetting you then maybe you should un-follow him as you seem to have a serious issue here.

I just am grateful that there are aussies competing well, and I get to see some of it on TV at last
Who cares if his personality doesn't match someone elses ?
Who are we to judge how he behaves/reacts after riding 224km in pretty trying conditions only to lose 40 odd seconds because of someones crash. I'd be !! BAN ME NOW FOR SWEARING !! as well.
At least it's better than those damn pilotlero salutes and high and mightiness that another cyclist displays....
