With the opening stage, Team Time Trial, and stage three all complete we've seen some of the teams showing their hands a little. Team Sky's Salvatore Puccio has shown his worth in his first grand tour and worn the pink jersey, Ryder Hesjedal was on a mission in yesterday's stage, though Luca Paolini was the ultimate winner of the stage and the maglia rosa.

We also had a look at some of the new technology that's arrived at the Giro, from Pinarellos new TT bike, the Bolide, Cadel Evans' new unbranded BMC bike, to SRAM's new rear hub.

Tell us what you want to see from the Giro!
