So is Di Luca the grand tour winner case that had been in the rumors? EPO is not strictly bio passport though. More to come?

[HammerTime2]

I’ve spent all day wondering what to say about Di luca ... Lastly I really feel for the guy in that team that missed the cut by one place, it means alot to any Italian to be part of the giro.

Exactly. To think that instead of hiring that doper Di Luca, that team could have hired Levi instead.

Anyone know what glasses the Androni boys are wearing? Sella and the guy in the break today?
Cant decide if they are great or gaudy.

[Liggero]

I bet menchov is the other one.

[Liggero]

GO CADEL GO!!!! Go colombians!!!!

Vincenzo Nibali tested positive in 5.....4.....3..... just kidding

that was some spectacular racing, reminded me of that TdF stage in '99 .... uhm.... never mind

re: comments on Di Luca - it's easy to be a smartass when it's currently not your sample that turned a positive result. yup, harsh words are justified, but they just don't sound right comming from fellow pro cyclists

Anyone know which sunglasses the Androni rider is using here? Carrera? Which model?

Edit: Ok, they are Selev it turns out. I like them! Different and retro.

[Maximilian]

The glasses are made by Selev, same manufacturer as their helmets.

[Straff]

1988 called. Please could they have their glasses back.

[djm]

But the glasses are not available on the Selev website, nor have I found any resellers online.. Anyone have clues?

At least they seem to learn from the past. And yes, Astanas performance in this years Giro was just not normal. Nobodies all of sudden climbing with the best - give me a break.
