Honestly, the stage of today was a rather boring. The runaways were far enough away at any time, as they would have had serious chances of a success. Even if it was to see a German Milram rider among them, including Björn Schröder was captured five kilometers before the finish. [...]

Giro d'Italia 2009 - 12 Stage: Individual time trial
Honestly, at this stage were only all excited to see how to beat Lance Armstrong would.

No sooner were the first mountains of the Giro on the program went away even the first real breakaways. And who was this course? Of course Jens Voigt, so we know it.
