Thx for the comments. I'm not too worried about the loss tbh.

Stage two brings us a, in this Giro very rare, flat stage. It's one of the few chances the pure sprinters will get in this edition. And even though it's a flat one, it's not dead flat from start to finish. A pretty nasty climb tops out just twelve kilometres from the finish, possibly launching a late successful attack.

An incredibly hard pace during the whole first half of the stage shut down one breakaway attempt after another. Much more interesting however, was the fact that one of the most frequent workers at the front of the main field was Radioshack leader Franco Pellizotti. A waste of energy by the looks of it.

Up the slopes of the first climb of the day, a group of four managed to build up an advantage over the peloton at last. Van Emden was one of them, while the other three were Davide Ricci Bitti, Elia Rigotto and Mickael Buffaz. Some others tried to join them, but never succeeded.

With a potential KoM jersey at stake, the mountain sprint was highly contested. Not Van Emden though, as we figured he'd have problems to even try with a hill stat of 64. Saving energy for later seemed more clever.

At the top of the climb, Ricci Bitti snatched maximum points in a photo finish against Buffaz. Not necessarily a day in green for the Farnese rider tomorrow however, as we still had one climb to go.

Once the main field started to put up a chase, we saw yet another team leader apparently not afraid of spending energy working on the flat, when Levi Leipheimer joined Pellizotti up front of the huge peloton.

The inevitable end for the break came up the last climb, when Radioshack went full speed. Still Pellizotti doing a huge amount of work, for some reason. He did get a small reward for it at least, since he crossed the top of the last climb first, stealing the green jersey from Ricci Bitti.

i1108.photobucket.com/albums/h416/vNibali/project/gdi_02_08.jpg

In the descent from the last climb, we managed to build a strong sprint train with Bagdonas as the head. Down on the flat we took command, just as Lieuwe Westra and Mikhail Ignatiev made a small move.

i1108.photobucket.com/albums/h416/vNibali/project/gdi_02_09.jpg

They stood no chance when Kluge moved past Bagdonas, launching the final leadout. Only challenge from another team came from Radioshack, with Tony Gallopin, Robert Wagner and Tyler Farrar.

i1108.photobucket.com/albums/h416/vNibali/project/gdi_02_10.jpg

With just over a kilometer to go, we had Francesco Chicchi on the front, followed by Denis Galimzyanov and Elia Viviani. Bozic unfortunately boxed in right in the middle of all this, unable to move forward.

i1108.photobucket.com/albums/h416/vNibali/project/gdi_02_11.jpg

But then, under the Flamme Rouge, Bozic found the gap. He jumped up alongside Chicchi in no time, but from behind came more dangerous challenges from the likes of Farrar and Allan Davis.

i1108.photobucket.com/albums/h416/vNibali/project/gdi_02_12.jpg

Farrar seemed to be the quickest of these, moving into the lead with half a kilometer to the line, now in sight. Bozic still well placed, but with more or less no energy left, just trying to keep his momentum.

i1108.photobucket.com/albums/h416/vNibali/project/gdi_02_13.png

On the line, Farrar was denied victory by less than half a wheel. Out of nowhere came Davide Appollonio with an incredible kick, nipping past the others in the last metres, making it two out of two for Sky. Galimzyanov in third, while Bozic fell to tenth.

Too bad Bozic got stuck. Well, 10th is a nice result. Still before Henderson and Swift. Good luck for the next stage!

PS. Damn, that's a close finish! Shock

Thanks!

I have a feeling things might start to go our way sooner than expected...

pcmdaily.com/images/flags/IT.png Stage 3 - Reggio Calabria > Cosenza pcmdaily.com/images/flags/IT.png

i1108.photobucket.com/albums/h416/vNibali/project/gdi_03.png

Last day in Sicily today, with the by far most challenging stage so far. The very long day of racing tackles some serious climbs in the latter part of the day, before finishing down the descent from the last of those. The GC contenders might want to wait for the real mountains, but who knows?

i1108.photobucket.com/albums/h416/vNibali/project/gdi_03_01.jpg

A big group on the move early today, eventually becoming the day's long breakaway. Some very notable names in the group, adding a lot of strength. Luca Paolini, Marco Frapporti and Marcel Kittel to name a few.

i1108.photobucket.com/albums/h416/vNibali/project/gdi_03_02.jpg

Back in the peloton, Liquigas, Androni and especially UniCredit started to send up a few domestiques once we approached the first of the three major climbs on the route. We also placed us near the front, to avoid trouble.

i1108.photobucket.com/albums/h416/vNibali/project/gdi_03_03.jpg

Up front, Juanma Gárate made sure to unhitch his companions, one by one, when the climbing started for real. Everyone else but Paolini and Frapporti seemed to really hurt due to this brutal pace.

i1108.photobucket.com/albums/h416/vNibali/project/gdi_03_04.jpg

Liquigas and UniCredit were doing the same as Gárate to the main field. The still pretty big peloton reduced with every meter.

i1108.photobucket.com/albums/h416/vNibali/project/gdi_03_05.jpg

Meanwhile, the front group completely exploded. At the top of the second climb, Gárate's pace was too much for everyone else, so the Spaniard was in for a solo ride. Paolini not very far behind however.

i1108.photobucket.com/albums/h416/vNibali/project/gdi_03_06.jpg

Once the road started to turn up again, Paolini disappeared far out of Gárate's sight though. Twenty kilometres from the line, the little climber still held a pretty big lead of over four minutes.

i1108.photobucket.com/albums/h416/vNibali/project/gdi_03_07.jpg

The heavily reduced main field reached the final climb a few minutes later, with attacks immediately. Marco Marzano made the first serious move, quickly covered by Mathias Kessler and Vincenzo Nibali.

i1108.photobucket.com/albums/h416/vNibali/project/gdi_03_08.jpg

Marzano proved incredibly strong, cracking both Kessler and Nibali after just a few hundred metres. Instead it was Michele Scarponi who bridged across to Marzano, with Damiano Cunego coming back up too. Van den Broeck and Lagutin not far behind either.

i1108.photobucket.com/albums/h416/vNibali/project/gdi_03_09.jpg

A bit too many of the favourites made the junction, and the pace dropped. Not for long however, as Franco Pellizotti was next, followed by no one else than the pink jersey of Kanstantsin Sivtsov.

i1108.photobucket.com/albums/h416/vNibali/project/gdi_03_10.jpg

To everyone's surprise, Sivtsov wasn't happy just following Pellizotti's move. No, he jumped around the Italian, deciding to try a solo ride instead. Great show from the Belarussian on this climb.

i1108.photobucket.com/albums/h416/vNibali/project/gdi_03_11.jpg

All these accelerations closed Gárate's advantage down a lot. He managed to make it over the top solo, but now just a minute ahead of the chasing favourites. Still a good chance to take the stage win however.

i1108.photobucket.com/albums/h416/vNibali/project/gdi_03_12.jpg

Sivtsov was caught by a smaller group of favourites at the top of the climb, and the speed dropped again. This was the moment we had been waiting for, and Van den Broeck wasted no time hesitating.

i1108.photobucket.com/albums/h416/vNibali/project/gdi_03_13.jpg

He seemed to have caught the others off guard, as a gap of 45 seconds appeared in no time. Up front he also got eye contact with the solo leader, Gárate, whose advantage decreased at a rapid speed now.

i1108.photobucket.com/albums/h416/vNibali/project/gdi_03_14.jpg

After either a great descent from Van den Broeck or a terrible one from Gárate, we had two riders at the front just as we reached the final kilometer. Still downhill and still advantage Gárate.

i1108.photobucket.com/albums/h416/vNibali/project/gdi_03_15.jpg

No time for cat and mouse games with the other favourites chasing behind, so Van den Broeck launched up alonside Gárate as we entered the final kilometer. Side by side, they approached the finish at a high speed.

i1108.photobucket.com/albums/h416/vNibali/project/gdi_03_16.png

It turned out to be both a heartbreaking, and a fantastic finish. Tired from a long time solo up front, Gárate had absolutely nothing to respond with when Van den Broeck came past him. An amazing day for us thus ended in best possible way. But, let's see the gap...

i1108.photobucket.com/albums/h416/vNibali/project/gdi_03_17.jpg

Nibali's amazing descending skill minimized the loss to just under half a minute in the end. But, with the bonus seconds, that's a quite big gain.

i1108.photobucket.com/albums/h416/vNibali/project/gdi_03_18.jpg

A total of ten riders in that group. Among all the big favourites was also the day's best domestique, Lagutin, who finished on a great tenth place after doing a lot of work for his captain today. He'll be worth gold later.

i1108.photobucket.com/albums/h416/vNibali/project/gdi_03_19.jpg

A minute behind that group, and one and a half behind the day's winner, Egor Silin crossed the line solo. A brilliant performance by the talented young Russian. He almost followed the best on the climb, but lost time in the descent.

i1108.photobucket.com/albums/h416/vNibali/project/gdi_03_20.jpg

And lastly, the day's big losers. Another thirty seconds later, a full two minutes behind Van den Broeck. Most notable ones were Igor Anton, Fredrik Kessiakoff and best young rider, Sergio Henao. That's a hefty loss.

Time for me to comment again, I think:

Not only is this still by far the best reporting of all existing stories (imo), you also somehow manage to set the bar higher and higher, result-wise. I enjoy this story a lot!

Fantastic tactic and excellent victory, just Sivtsov and Nibali in front of VDB now. Great job!

pcmdaily.com/images/flags/IT.png Stage 4 - Corigliano Calabro > Grassano pcmdaily.com/images/flags/IT.png

i1108.photobucket.com/albums/h416/vNibali/project/gdi_04.png

Back on the mainland now, with another tough day in the saddle. Mostly flat in the first part of the stage, but once we hit the closing kilometres, we'll experience some interesting climbs here in Basilicata. The finish will be brutal too, twice up the insanely steep Muro di Grassano. Another GC shuffle ahead.

i1108.photobucket.com/albums/h416/vNibali/project/gdi_04_01.jpg

No Projects in the day's early breakaway today either, but still a few other interesting names. I'm thinking mainly of one of yesterday's big losers, Chris Anker Sörensen. Already far back in GC, he was allowed to go today. Other names included a.o. once again Marcel Kittel and Raffaele Ferrara.

i1108.photobucket.com/albums/h416/vNibali/project/gdi_04_02.jpg

After a rather boring day, the group hit the brutal final climb with just a small advantage left over the chasing peloton. UniCredit did most of the work back in the field, but got some assistance from Liquigas and Sky.

i1108.photobucket.com/albums/h416/vNibali/project/gdi_04_03.jpg

Sörensen realized that it was soon game over for him and his companions, so with a kilometer to the top of the climb, he dropped the other members of the breakaway, trying to go solo over the last fifteen kilometres.

i1108.photobucket.com/albums/h416/vNibali/project/gdi_04_04.jpg

The Dane got nowhere though, since Lagutin led the peloton up the climb at a ferocious pace, with Van den Broeck right behind him. At the top of the climb, it was over also for the last brave escapee.

i1108.photobucket.com/albums/h416/vNibali/project/gdi_04_05.jpg

A quick descent later, we were back on the climb again. Lagutin moved to the front again, giving Van den Broeck a perfect position. On the left side Nibali also moved up to the front, with Scarponi follwoing.

i1108.photobucket.com/albums/h416/vNibali/project/gdi_04_06.jpg

The two Italians pulled out a gap immediately once the sprint kicked off. Van den Broeck didn't have the legs to go with them, thus deciding it would be more clever to follow Sivtsov and Marzano in pursuit.

i1108.photobucket.com/albums/h416/vNibali/project/gdi_04_07.jpg

Sivtsov managed to claw back a little bit of ground on them, desperately trying to defend his jersey from Nibali, who started to slow down after his hard acceleration. Scarponi meanwhile started to move up alongside his fellow countryman.

i1108.photobucket.com/albums/h416/vNibali/project/gdi_04_08.jpg

We eventually found out that not even Sivtsov had the legs to pull the two Italians back. With just three hundred metres to the line, they still held a small advantage over a small group of chasing favourites.

i1108.photobucket.com/albums/h416/vNibali/project/gdi_04_09.png

In the steep last kickup to the line, Scarponi showed strength by jumping over a tired Nibali. These two were clearly at an own level today, possibly showing what we can expect from the mountains later. No reason to be disappointed for today's runner-up though, as he claimed the race lead.

i1108.photobucket.com/albums/h416/vNibali/project/gdi_04_10.jpg

Twenty seconds behind the duo, Sivtsov led Cunego, Marzano, Pozzovivo, Van den Broeck and Pirazzi over the line. UniCredit really showed their true strength here, with three riders in the Top 8. They'll be very strong in the coming mountains.

i1108.photobucket.com/albums/h416/vNibali/project/gdi_04_11.jpg

Just a few seconds behind that group was King of the Mountains leader and yesterday's runner-up, Gárate and Pellizotti, who possibly payed the price for his hard work earlier here. Unneccesary loss for the Italian.

i1108.photobucket.com/albums/h416/vNibali/project/gdi_04_12.jpg

Then we had Poels, Betancur, Carrara, Henao and our super domestique Lagutin, who once again did a terrific job for his captain. He did get a small reward too, moving into the Top 10 overall.

i1108.photobucket.com/albums/h416/vNibali/project/gdi_04_13.jpg

And just like yesterday, Anton had a terrible day, losing another two minutes to his main rivals. He's now almost five minutes behind Nibali in the GC. He must be out of form, otherwise he shouldn't lose this much.

a pitty that you lose 20" on Scarponi and Nibali, but it's not a shame. VdB just isn't their class in steep hils.
Great reporting, as always.

Thanks mate! Smile

Had some spare time, so here's another report!

pcmdaily.com/images/flags/IT.png Stage 5 - Matera > Manfredonia pcmdaily.com/images/flags/IT.png

i1108.photobucket.com/albums/h416/vNibali/project/gdi_05.png

After the unusually hard opening to this Giro, we hit one of few flat stages today. The short day along the southeastern coast of Italy is probably the easiest day in the whole race. Not saying it neccessarily turns out that way however, as we might experience strong crosswinds along the way.

i1108.photobucket.com/albums/h416/vNibali/project/gdi_05_01.jpg

The new Maglia Rosa, Nibali made sure to show himself to the cameras today, well protected by his team mate, world champion Marco Marcato. Just think of the strength of the UniCredit team in this race. Scary.

i1108.photobucket.com/albums/h416/vNibali/project/gdi_05_02.jpg

A breakaway really struggled to form today, since too many riders seemed interested in catching it. After a long time, a group formed at last however. Van Emden caught it today, making sure to show off our colours. Other names included the likes of Lieuwe Westra and José Ivan Gutierrez.

i1108.photobucket.com/albums/h416/vNibali/project/gdi_05_03.jpg

The group was in full control all day, stretching out their advantage to no more than five minutes at any point during the day. Slightly surprisingly, Liquigas did most of the work in the main field, probably for Elia Viviani.

i1108.photobucket.com/albums/h416/vNibali/project/gdi_05_04.jpg

Once we got closer to the finish, other teams took over the pacemaking. Radioshack and OPQS were the most active ones, and we once again saw the likes of Pellizotti doing lots of heavy work at the front. Stupid tactic.

i1108.photobucket.com/albums/h416/vNibali/project/gdi_05_05.jpg

When the breakaway's advantage dropped under a minute, Van Emden jumped out of the group, giving it a last shot. He did get company, but surprisingly only from one of the others, Davide Bonuccelli.

i1108.photobucket.com/albums/h416/vNibali/project/gdi_05_06.jpg

The two started to work together, hoping that this new move possibly could give them a slim opportunity to battle for the stage win. Their former companions meanwhile got swepped up by the closing peloton.

i1108.photobucket.com/albums/h416/vNibali/project/gdi_05_07.jpg

Passing under the ten-kilometres-to-go-banner, the two couldn't resist the peloton anymore. We did give it one last try though, with Van Emden using his last ounces of energy to hold on just a little longer.

i1108.photobucket.com/albums/h416/vNibali/project/gdi_05_08.jpg

Bonuccelli countered soon afterwards and jumped away himself. We didn't really care, as the OPQS-controlled main field was now more or less on their back wheel. Game over also for the last two escapees now.

i1108.photobucket.com/albums/h416/vNibali/project/gdi_05_09.jpg

OPQS and Radioshack built two trains with just over three kilometres to go, looking to lead their sprinters Francesco Chicchi and Tyler Farrar to the line. We also had a strong one, but Bagdonas and Kluge lost Bozic on the way up to the front, to our frustration.

i1108.photobucket.com/albums/h416/vNibali/project/gdi_05_10.jpg

With Bozic out of contention, we managed to place Kluge in a great position, just behind Chicchi with two and a half kilometres to the line. Farrar also in good position, although he lost his leadout.

i1108.photobucket.com/albums/h416/vNibali/project/gdi_05_11.png

But in a really messy sprint, Mark Renshaw shot out of nowhere to come around both Chicchi and Farrar at the line. Kluge finished nicely in seventh, and Bozic just missed the Top 10 after following some other sprinters.
