Dodged a Bullet

My fantasy Giro team got lucky today. It was a rolling stage and I was hoping that Petacchi would be hungry enough for another victory that he would have his team chase down any breakaways. But a huge group got away and stayed away. As a result, none of my riders scored points today. But since the break consisted entirely of unknown riders (it was the winner's first ever professional victory), I managed to keep my place in the standings.

Tomorrow's stage features some short steep climbs and a mountaintop finish. I expect the remaining contenders to take their shots at Savoldelli ahead of Friday's time trial.
