And the 2008 Giro d'Italia is Underway!
Not a moment too soon, the first of the grand tours started today (you thought I had changed my page to pink to match my toenails?). The best pictures and coverage are over at Pez Cycling News. Do go check it out.
The Giro is huge this year -- all the best teams are there, and it's packed with time trials and mountains. And it's started with an absolutely HUGE result. Slipstream/Chipotle, my new favorite team in the Whole Wide World, won the opening team time trial today. American Christian Vande Velde was first across the finish line for Slipstream, and therefore dons the leader's jersey, the maglia rosa. Bellisimo!
