Scarponi Stays Away

Correction: It was Jackson Rodriguez, not Juaquin, who finished 11th. Subtract 50 points from Andy and me. And add 50 to Jonah and Mark S.

Michele Scarponi was the sole survivor of the days big breakaway. Young Boss Hogg, Jr. took second with an impressive sprint out of a group comprised mostly of classics riders and contenders. He is going to be a spring classics superstar. Allan Davis, the only pure sprinter in the top 20, was third. Head over to Pez for the rest of the story.

Watch the final three kilometres:



I believe all the stages are available on demand from Universal Sports. So if, like KK, your boss thinks it fit to prevent you from watching at work, there is still a possibility to catch the action.

Over in the FGBC Giro d'Italia Pool, we have another new stage winner. That's six different stage winners in six stages. Nice. It is KK whose numbers came up right today. He gets to spray the champagne thanks to a 310 point stage. Ian and Jonah just missed out. They had a solid 305 points each, but had to settle for a second place tie behind KK. Dallas and Jonah tied for second with 255 points. In the overall pool, I have moved back into first place, just two points ahead of Chris A Chris A continues to lead with 1158 points. I am now in second with 1110 and KK has lept up into third place thanks to his 310 point day. He now has 1084 points. It continues to be very close at the top. The top nine teams are separated by less than 150 points. This should guarantee plenty of change atop the leaderboard over the next few days.
