Gap to lead group now :43 secs, but chasers look to be organizing a little. Peleton now 8:30 back, they have decided to let these guys go completely.

Makes me wonder if the airlines were responsible for the advent of the smaller cans - an 8oz coke can is probably perfect size for 2 adult beverages served in those smaller airline plastic cups. Keeps 'em from having to throw away millions of half-empty 12oz cans....
I think we have mostly gotten the tiny cans on flights, too.

Looks like the stage win will come down to Moreni, Tosatto and Scholz. They are now :40 ahead of Quinzato, and almost a full minute up on the rest of the group. Almost 9 minutes to the Peleton now.

Yeah, Everone who counts is saving thier legs for tomorrow. It will be interesting to see if Perreiro or Sastre tries to attack in the last couple KM to put a little bit more cushion on Landis.

Too many teams w/ riders in the Top 10 for that to have a chance of sucess, I think.

The USA, last bastion of the English system! Here we think that metric is just a good way for the liquor bottlers to screw us by charging the same for a metric equiv of a 'fifth'.

Take heart though.
I think we might be in for a treat tomorrow AND sunday.
We might actually get a race on the last day as well.
