Savoldelli Wins Giro
Paolo Savoldelli (Discovery Channel) won the 88th Giro d'Italia today by 28 seconds over two-time winner, Gilberto Simoni. Savoldelli won in 2002 on some another probably non-existent team, so Discovery signed him to be good in this race. The expected winners, Damiano Cunego and Ivan Basso, had difficult races with stomach trouble and are far down on the GC (General Classification), although Basso got in two or three stage wins.

I enjoyed watching part of the race on OLN today. It was fun to hear Phil announce and I am looking forward to the Tour.
ReplyDeleteLooking forward to THE tour, too. Flipping the calendar to June begins the countdown and enthusiasm for me. Glad to see you back on the blog, Daniel. And how did your race go on Monday? Very interested in your commentary on the experience.
