Giro today - news blackout or what?

Anybody know what happened at the Giro today? Seems to be awfully slow to be posted at the regular sites. No live report, either.

Thanks, Climb. I did catch some mention of a rider looking forward to the rest day yesterday and wondered why he'd be thinking of that so early on. Guess they need the rest from all the ferry rides and standing around they had to do in the first weekend.

it's a rest day for logistical reasons. lotsa equipment and stuff to put on a ferry and get over to the boot . . .
