1,2,3 from the top ten, probably like everyone else. Who came 11th to 20th?

Yeah, but Cav was boxed in badly, and had to start from virtually a standing start to get around. Bouhani must have thought he had it in the bag. Brilliant, and utterly deflating for any of the other sprinters.

Steephill will pretty much meet all your race coverage needs throughout the sesaon. You'll find interviews, previews, parcours, startlists and all manner of great articles, and of course what you want most of all. The Giro is no exception - 2013 Giro d'Italia Live Video, Route, Teams, Results, Photos, TV
The links are self explanatory from the dashboard.

Just 11 there for me.
Incidentally, they've slapped a big old price on Navardauskas I see following his healthy points haul last season. Bargains don't stay as bargains for long I notice.

Have you stolen my team? 11 and 16 for me too, along with 1, 2, 3.
Paris - Nice, £1 says I know who'll win that.
Can I be the first to say I love a TTT.
I know it has it's detractors but done properly it looks fantastic, and as you know it's where NSC's finest Ryder Hesjedal, first came to my attention.
A TTT is either a thing of beauty (re: Garmin in 2009 TdF) or a comedy of errors (re: too many to mention!). No idea how to play it in fantasy-land, so I'll probably do nothing...

It's all about the bikes
I've got 9 riders for 9 different teams. Covering my bases for the TTT. lol
Bold Seagull
strong and stable with me, or...
TTT's have me completely stumped in this game!!

The entire competition has me stumped.
The entire competition has me stumped.
Me too! Hence the reason my teams are pretty much the same except for domestiques. Pick the people you've heard of, transfer in the jerseys, make up the numbers with cheap no-marks. Isn't that what you're supposed to do?
Garmin's 2009 TTT wasn't a thing of beauty.
It was the most head bangingly mental approach to a TTT ever.
Absolutely mentals, with complete disregard to the 'team'.
It's no surprise they got done by the team performance from Astana (I think).
But with all that said, it's my favourite TTT.
Nice comment by NSC's finest:-

Fair point! It was a recognition that most of all teams are crap testers, but if you have 4 great ones and 1 brave soul who has the legs on the day then you'll win. I wonder if anyone will give that a go today?! Most TTTs don't have any tactics at all, other than 'corner badly, lose your wheel, create gaps, blow up after 3km' for some, 'consolidate losses' for others.
Movistar at last year's Vuelta were pretty good....
