TTT GI

well the results of the team time trial are in and much to my surprise [not] a young, relative unknown italian rider, enrico gasparotto [liquigas], took the maglia rosa today. the liquigas team proved to be the quickest over the beyond technical course. i had a feeling [giro that is] that the roadies would out do the time trial speed demons today and the giro did not let me down. although everyone thought that di luca was upset with enrico for crossing the line first and thus taking the maglia rosa. but alas it is not so:

"I was not upset, it is important that we win. We have great team. It is truly beautiful," said Di Luca after crossing the line. "It was great test for the team. ... I am not upset."

my italian lip reading is a bit slow right now, but i don't think he was saying your buying the pizza tonight.
on to stage 1.
