Today was my stage on the motorcycle.  It was a hilly day with tight roads and difficult to pass.  We were able to make a couple of passes but then at around 100k we got stuck behind the peloton for around 40 kilometers, until it was time to speed to the finish.

 

The morning was scandal time.  Apparently Riccardo Ricco was doping, so he and his whole team were thrown out of the race.  Hopefully that's the end of it, but who knows.  I guess they never got the memos.
