Taylor Phinney

Taylor Phinney struggled the whole ride, even going off the road at one point.

Garmin-Barracuda

Garmin-Barracuda had its own problems, but had horsepower to spare. An impressive ride.

Katusha

Katusha kept Joaquin Rodirguez in the hunt. Rodriguez is 19 seconds behind Ryder Hesjedal, whom I think is first among the actual GC contenders.

An undistinguished day for Liquigas. At 29 seconds, with all their strength, I expected better.
