Giro Flash...

How's this for instant updating... I'm jumping in the team car in 10 minutes to follow #9 in the G.C. Franco Pellizotti for today's TT stage. Pelli is a decent time triallist and more than capable climber. This course features a slightly uphill second half, so hopefully he'll be able to do well.

Numbers 9 and 10 in the classification. Pelli starts in just over a half hour, so we're off to the start line. Speaking of the start line, here's the view from the tunnel...
