We met with l'Americano, Aaron Olson, just before the stage 6 start in Busseto. Aaron looked very relaxed and comfortable with his teammates. This is not his first time in Italy, he race here before in 2000 or 1999, on the same team of Dave Zabriskie.

"I am happy we are now in Italy," commented Olson. "It finally feels like the Giro d'Italia should feel."

Aaron might not like the lack of Wi-Fi here in Italy. "Aaron asked the hotel if they had Wi-Fi," explained Olson's roommate, Marco Pinotti. "I explained to him that the hotels do not even know of the word 'Wi-Fi'."

Pinotti has been a guiding force for Olson in his first Grand Tour. After yesterday's team time trial, Aaron was a little down, and Marco told him not to worry. Marco explained that Aaron is getting his sleep, "Last night I went up to the room and he was already in bed at 9.30."

Marco is also happy to be in Italy. "The four-star hotels in Belgium are shit," said il Bergamasco. "Bad mattresses, rooms are so small you can't open your suitcase, they are even smaller than in Italy, but they do have Wi-Fi!"
