ASTANA. KAZINFORM "We started smart, and accelerated really well today - in the morning we went too fast in training and that made me nervous at the start. The stage today was so complicated that you would have to train on these roads a lot to take every corner perfectly," Borut Bozic said.
After stage one at the Giro d'Italia he noted that a team time trial through the streets of Belfast, Northern Ireland - with cold rain showers and wind blowing hard just before the start, but dry roads and a bit of sunshine immediately afterwards. Bozic and his eight teammates finished 38 seconds behind the winning team - and were sixth overall out of twenty two squads, the team's official website reads. With three weeks of racing ahead, including a final week in the mountains of Italy, a 38-second margin on day one is a very comfortable position to be in. Details also at
