Caught the end of Stage 3 of the Tour of Romandie after I got back from spinning this morning. Nobody could figure out where Paolo Savoldelli was. Of all the most inopportune times, it seems that Il Falcon got the Swiss version of Montezuma’s Revenge, and ended up in the bushes beside the road for quite a while. He lost almost 12 minutes from the wrath of the stomach bug. Whether he’ll be able to start tomorrow is iffy... He looked like he really had a belly-ache when he came in...

In addition, Benoit and Jurgen Van Den Broeck both crashed in today’s stage, but got back on the bike to finish the stage....

The Discovery Channel Pro Cycling Team for the Giro will be: Paolo Savoldelli, Tom Danielson, Eki Ekimov, Chechu Rubiera, Triki Beltran, Jason McCartney, Pavel Padrnos, Benoit Joachim, and Matt White. Sean Yeats and Lorenzo Lapage will be the DS...

Sending our best to Max Van Heesjwick with his knee injury... Seems that the accident during the Spring Classics left quite a hole in his knee that is taking a long time to heal... Unknown yet when he can return to racing.
