Could possibly have been.jules21 wrote:is this an adelaide thing? i stayed up last night in Melb to watch it and all seemed OK with a continuous live broadcast.
There was a sudden commercial break without the normal fade-out commentary and then on the return it was the wrap up. Very, very annoying at 1am. Maybe some clown flicked a switch from 'Delay Adelaide 1/2 hour' to 'Live in Adelaide'. Hope it doesn't happen again. Everyone makes mistake I guess.

Basso- Has the best endurance and team and he will need it over the next 2 days. I reckon he is least likely to crack and so will win.
Post up your picks before tonight and let the battle ensue.

I would like to see Rodriguez win, but his time trialling is likely to let him down. I would have to say Hejadal (spelling??) is looking like the winner to me. If he doesn't crack up the hills he should win. That is a bit of a big "if" but he looks like he's going well on the hills at the moment. At the moment I just can't see Basso burning them all off up the mountains.

The ITT is not a question, as I need to work as well.
I may give tonight the try, and see how I go. Looking fwd to either.
Go Ryder - I'd love to see him win, or at the very least podium.

Rodriguez and Basso are reported as raising the white flag and that they are resigned to fighting over the other spots on the podium.MichaelB wrote:Great stage, tonight will be even more interesting, as its do or die for Basso & Scarponi !!!
Is it too late to jump on the Hesjedal train ?

I'm hoping like hell that Ryder can do it. Van de velde's efforts were brilliant as was Stetina.
Yay for canucks !!!!

Interesting to see some of the bigger teams outshone by the smaller outfits.
Great last couple of mountain stages, and makes me want to climb Stelvio even more now

Further to my previous link to a joke article about Radio Luxembourg, it appears there may be some truth behind it.
What a great Giro. Canadia finally wins something and De Gent was awesome.
