Cycling Update: Giro d'Italia

D'oh! My coach used to tell us repeatedly to race five meters through the finish line. This is why.

Basso wears pink. I know his ultimate goal is to become the first cyclist since Marco Pantani to win the Giro and the Tour in the same season. Can he possibly be thinking this season?

And in non-Giro news, because he is my new favorite Swissy, Cancellara takes the first stage of the Volta à Catalunya.
