'Dale Posted May 9, 2012 Share Okay, I'm relieved.The GC cannot be won here with the TTT.Surely, it can be lost. So, not a bad day at all for Leaky Gas...Rodriquez will sleep well tonight after Katusha's fine effort today. His right back into the frame.

GrumpyOldGuy Posted May 9, 2012 Share Considering Garmin was one of the favorites for this stage I think Katusha threw a cat among the pigeons here. Certainly I never read any pundit suggesting Katusha would be 5 sec's adrift of Garmin, most never even gave them a top 5. Rodriguez must be feeling pretty comfortable right now.

GrumpyOldGuy Posted May 9, 2012 Share Hmm, looks like tomorrow (Thursday) will be the last day for the sprinters this week, so I think Garmin should keep the Jersey tomorrow, however Friday is decidedly bumpy, which may favor a breakaway and Sat. and Sun. end on sharp climbs, so although only cat 2's and 3's I think the sprinters will struggle. I think Cunego will go for a stage on Sat. or Sun. and maybe the jersey, the terrain suits him perfectly.
