NBC Universal Sports TV network is broadcasting the stages in 2-hour edited, taped-delay programs. The program that covers the day's stage is broadcast from 3-5 pm, 8-10pm, and 11pm-1am EST.

Of course, the US changes from standard to daylight time on Saturday night, so we'll see what the broadcast times will be on Sunday.

Liquigas had 2 riders form the leadout today for Bennati in the sprint, with Boonen 4th wheel, McRob in 5th wheel, Hushovd 6th wheel, etc... Liquigas riders peeled off, but Bennati didn't have the legs. Martens flew from about 10th wheel to the front, but Boonen was the best at the line.

Kinda sad to see that McRob apparently views his best career finishes in his rear view mirror. The upside of that story: at least he's riding clean. If his finish record would suddenly skyrocket, I'd be mighty suspicious.

From Steephill ...

"Garzelli has placed third in both intermediate sprints to tie Scarponi on time and with a tiebreaker takes the overall lead"

:shock:

I thought you weren't supposed to do this on a "ceremonial" final stage. Scarponi has got to be fuming!

I hate the notion of ceremonial stages. IMO, you race until you can't race no mo.
I see you in line, dragging your feet you have my sympathy.

There are no ceremonial stages in a week-tour. Absolutely not. Usually just in grand tours, or even only in the TdF.

That's the first chance I've had to see the Acqua & Sapone kit up close... getting to see the bubbles is hilarious for the "Soap & Water" team! Acqua & Sapone is the Proctor & Gamble of Italy, you know... :wink:
