One Down, Two to Go.

Today was the first of the three flat stages remaining in this year's Giro. And Allesandro Petacchi won it! If he can grab the other two, it will really help my chances. The bad news is that Rasmussen and Olaf Pollack have both retired from the race. I was hoping for a stage win out of Rasmussen and I was counting on Pollack to show up somewhere in the sprint results.

Despite losing some time to his rivals yesterday, Savoldelli is still holding on to the leader's jersey.
