Giro D'Italia Stage 2

I'm away out early so i thought i would start todays stage off before i went.

Does everyone agree its a bunch sprint finish or will someone try to grab the limelight with a breakaway.

Will Orica try to cut down any breaks for Matthews, do they have the team to do that ? only time will tell.

I doubt he will be looking at this but my sympathies go to Dan Martin  2

Also can someone explain why Matthews got 30 points and Hepburn 20 ? i thought all the team members scored the same in a TTT.

If you're new please join in and if you have questions pop them below and the forum regulars will answer as best we can.

I really wanted Colbrelli today, but went for Ventoso because of the TT. Hope that wasn't a mistake.

Hepburn got 20 as his team won, Matthews got 20 for the stage plus 6 for GC plus 4 for the young rider classification. Hepburn wasn't in the line when Green edge finished having been dropped earlier.
