Stage 4 Giro d’Italia
The 22 year old scores a big one. Finally Cannondale-Garmin gets on the boards. “We’ll find out what my limits are as we go along,” he said after his victory. “I’m still only 22 years old and this is my first Giro, so I don’t really know what I can do over three weeks. I need to see how my body reacts. I mean, I actually didn’t want to expend too much energy in the first week but I found an opportunity.” -Formolo (Cycling News)

Stage 5 Gir d’Italia
A pistol was fired. The big boys came to play…Tinkoff is a happy man…
