6th stage: 216 km from Orvieto to Fiuggi. Only 1 KOTM-sprint, but the last 15km are very difficult, with 400 heightmetres that have to be gained!

Monster Energy helds the pace high in the first part of the race, so no one can break away. Brice Feillu is the first to cross the line of the KOTM-sprint, with Laurent Didier and Janez Brojkovic following him.

Then a group of 6 get away and they create a maximum lead of 3'45. Marco Marcato (Vacansoleil) wins the Intermediate sprint in Fiano Romano, with still over 100km to go. He's accompanied by Daniel Oss (Liquigas), Oscar Gatto (Farnese Vini), Martin Kohler (BMC), Mauricio Ardila (Geox) and Alessandro Bertolini (Androni).

With 18km to go, Ardila is the first to accelerate in the long ascent to Fiuggi. Oss and Kohler can't follow the pace, so only 4 remain up front.

At the same time in the peloton, Igor Antón decides to gain some time on his opponents and jumps away. Johnny Hoogerland (Vacansoleil) tries to follow him, but isn't fast enough. The Euskaltel-leader quickly creates a 35 second gap to the peloton! The breakaway still leads by 2'50.

With 10km to go, Alessandro Bertolini tries to shake off his fellow breakaways. He succeeds in dropping one: Oscar Gatto.

8km to go and Antón still leads the peloton by 30 seconds. Nicholas Roche and Alberto Contador get ervous and jump away trying to close the gap to Antón. Gesink and Vanendert stay in the peloton and let Posthuma, Ruijgh and De Greef ride with an extremely high pace! The 3 leaders are 2'28 up front.

Then again a crash in the peloton with 5km to go! Most important victim seems Prem Niemiec. Luckily all cancontinue without too much damage.

1.5km to go and the 3 leaders prepare for the sprint. Ardila is in the lead. The lead is still 59 seconds, so they're sure of the win!
img713.imageshack.us/img713/8067/815km.jpg

Ardila is done, he won't win. Bertolini sprints for the biggest win in his career, but doesn't have a chance against Marco Marcato. The Vacansoleil-rider passes him with 500metres to go.
img225.imageshack.us/img225/6812/9500m.jpg

And again a breakaway takes the win! What a great ride for Marco Marcato, who gets rewarded for his attacking way of cycling! Bertolini finishes in 2nd, Ardila in 3rd.
img829.imageshack.us/img829/7421/10finish.jpg

1'02 behind comes Antón in 4th place. All of his efforts didn't pay off, thanks to the work of Vanendert (8th place) and the final sprint of Gesink (5th place). Also, we can finally put a cross through the GC-ambitions of Basso and Martin. Both loose more than 5 minutes again!

Word from the DS: Thanks to great work by our team, none of the serious opponents (Antón, Contador, Roche) gained time with their attacks. Gesink and Vanendert could save their legs, for tomorrow's mountain stage.

Stage 7 from Maddaloni to Montevergine di Mercogliano is a really short one: 110km with 2 2nd categorized climbs, the Monte Taburno (20.4km - 5.1%) and the finish on the summit of the Montevergine di Mercogliano (16.8km - 5.3%).

11 riders ride away pretty early, but the peloton keeps the gap small (max 2 minutes). Order at the top of the Monte Taburno: F. Masciarelli (Astana), S. Denifl (Leopard), A. Moinard (BMC), D. Champion (AG2R), K. Koren (Liquigas), the Omega Pharma-trio S. Lang, F. Willems & V. Reynes, M. Possoni (Sky), M. Fischer (Garmin) and P. Ignatenko (Katusha)

In the descent to Avellino, where the Intermediate sprint is located, a lot happens: the 11-man group get passed by 2 riders. David López (Movistar) and Emanuelle Sella (Androni) jump over them and create a 2'00 gap to the former leading group, who are joined by Ivan Basso (oh yes, Uvan tries something!), Danilo di Luca (Katusha), Carlos Sastre (Geox), Alessandro Bisolti (Farnese Vini), Simon Spilak (Lampre) and Paolo Tiralongo (Astana). The peloton follows at 2'49.
img577.imageshack.us/img577/6899/2ism.jpg

Then they have to face this thing, a long but not steep climb. You won't win the Giro here, but can lose it!
img833.imageshack.us/img833/7553/tappa07s02.jpg

The final climb has started, all the way up to the monestery. López and Sella kep the pace up high and with 10km to go, they have a gap of 1'17 to Tiralongo, 1'39 to Basso, Sastre, Spilak, Bisolti and Di Luca and 2'27 tot the peloton. The Monster's realize that it will be difficult to get the stage win, and they start the chase.
img405.imageshack.us/img405/4624/310km.jpg

5km to go and the 2 are still up front. Tiralongo is 42 seconds back and the peloton 1'14.
img560.imageshack.us/img560/3707/45km.jpg

This one is going to be very close, again! Under the 2km mark, the gap is still 35 seconds to the chasing peloton. Sella feels his legs burn like hell, and slowly sees López ride away.
img4.imageshack.us/img4/6876/525km.jpg

An attack in the peloton! Who else than Igor Antón tries to close the gap and get his 2nd stage win. But Gesink feels great and counterattacks him. Only Steven Kruijswijk (Rabobank), José Rujano (Androni), Alberto Contador (Saxo Bank) and Jelle Vanendert (Monster) can follow. GC-leader Yaroslav Popovych can't react and tries to minimizes the damage.
img41.imageshack.us/img41/4265/6anton.jpg

1km to go and it looks like López is gonna win. Gesink and Rujano have jumped over Antón and are 14 seconds back.
img202.imageshack.us/img202/5598/71kmy.jpg

And of course a breakaway wins. For the 5th time in 6 non-TT stages, someone stays up front. Great ride by Spanish López. Gesink passes Sella just befre the finish and end sup in 2nd, 12 seconds behind (and 12 bonus seconds!) López. Rujano is 4th at '20, then Contador, Kruijswijk, Antón and Vanendert at '25. At '41 comes a group with van den Broeck, Froome (I improved his climbing stats after his performance at the Pena Cabarga IRL) and Popovych in it. Popovych remains in the Maglia Rosa, but Vanendert and Gesink are very close!

Well, things look good for us in the GC. Vanendert is in 2nd at '17, Gesink 3rd at '50 and he has an advantage of '19 to Roche, '40 to Anton and 1'43 to Contador! Even De Greef is in the top 10!

Points: Gesink can wear a new jearsey tomorrow!

Word from the DS: great stage, with some important time won. But again, no stage win..... Well, I'm sure that will come this Giro. Vanendert and Gesink look incredibly strong!

Stage 8: 217 km from Sapri to Toprea, a stage that will be very difficult for those riders that have the urge to take a sunbath at the beach.Okay, also the last 2 km are very difficult with a short and steep uphill part, 650 metres with an average gradient of 7.8%:
img148.imageshack.us/img148/9159/ukm08.jpg

Luckily for me, the report can be short:
A breakaway with Kohler (BMC), Bandiera (QSt), Appollonio (Sky), Goddaert (ALM), Guarnieri (Liq), Nizzolo (Leo), Lodewyck (OLO) and Ongarato (VCD) get 8'30 maximum advantage, but unlike all the other stages, this stage will turn into a mass sprint.
img856.imageshack.us/img856/9467/1is.jpg

We try to surprise our opponents just like Contador irl. Bos leads the train for Vanendert and Gesink, but we fail because of the narrow roads on the climb. Murilo Fischer leads for the Garmin team with 2km to go.
img823.imageshack.us/img823/2250/22km.jpg

Then with 1km to go, Matthew Goss accelerates (already on the flat), with Fischer, Borut Bozic and Alessandro Petacchi on his tail. We see Tyler Farrar a long way behind.
img822.imageshack.us/img822/6862/31km.jpg

But Farrar shows he is the best sprinter in this Giro. He jumps to the wheel of Goss and with 300 metres to go, he's ready to overtake the poor Aussie.
img204.imageshack.us/img204/9064/4300m.jpg

And Farrar overtakes Goss to get his second win in this Giro. Galimzyanov takes the 3rd place. Gesink gets some nice sprint points finishing in 7th.

Word from the DS: The prediction was a mass sprint, the outcome was a mass sprint. But hey, at least we tried something Wink

Great work, maybe Vanendert will wear the Maglia Rosa?

Why does everyone wants Vanendert in the Maglia Rosa??? As you will see, Gesink is our man!

Stage 9 and it's time to get serious! 159 km from Messina to the summit of the Etna. Well, the Etna has to be climb twice! First the ascent to Rifugio Citelli (28.4km - 5.3%).
img545.imageshack.us/img545/6561/etna1.jpg
And finally the ascent to Rifugio Sapienza.
img97.imageshack.us/img97/4498/etna2.jpg

We go immediately to the first rider who crosses the line of the first KOTM-sprint on the first ascent of the Etna. And to all surprise, it's Ivan Basso! The reigning Giro-winner surely wants to prove that he's a great rider, although his team totally messed up in having him race the Giro.
img855.imageshack.us/img855/821/1kotmbasso.jpg

Basso is also the first to be at the Intermediate sprint. His lead to the peloton is 3'28 to the peloton.
img189.imageshack.us/img189/183/2isi.jpg

And then the peloton rides a pace that's too high for Basso. With less than 6km to go, Basso is caught and Gesik has created a small gap.
img35.imageshack.us/img35/1703/36km.jpg

Then we enter the last 3km.
img33.imageshack.us/img33/7312/ukm09.jpg

Gesink has a small lead of 11 seconds to an elite group, consisting of Jurgen van den Broeck, Alberto Contador, José Rujano and Igor Antón.
img835.imageshack.us/img835/4176/43km.jpg

1.5km to go and Gesink is still in the lead. The chasing group is '14 behind and Rujano tries to make the jump.
img215.imageshack.us/img215/2002/51km.jpg

700 metres to go and the gap is still 12 seconds, Will this be our first stage win?
img840.imageshack.us/img840/87/6700m.jpg

Oh yes! Gesink gets his stage win, and also is the new leader in the GC now! Although the gap to Contador and Rujano is only 9 seconds, hesdone a great job for the GC! Jelle Vanendert finishes in the big group at '51.

Stage 10 is a sprinter's stage, 160km from Termoli to Terano. It's almost flat, but the last 25km, where 250 height metres have to be conquered, can tire out some sprinters.

Davide Cimolai (Liquigas) wins the only KOTM-sprint in this stage, the Vasto, in front of Davide Vigano (Leopard) and José Vicente Garcá Acosta (Movistar).

The rest of the stage, breakaways keap being formed. Everytime they get a gap of 1-2 minutes, but then they get caught again, and a new group of riders try to get away. García Acosta wins the Intermediate sprint, with Victor Reynes (Omega Pharma) and John Murphy (BMC) behind him.
img694.imageshack.us/img694/1999/2isy.jpg

The last rider who is in front of the peloton is Geoffrey Lequatre (Radioshack). But he gets caught with over 15km to go. Everyone prepares for a mass sprint.
img31.imageshack.us/img31/2310/317km.jpg

This is a sprint for powerful sprinters and one of them is Alessandro Petacchi. Thanks to great work from his Lampre-teammates, Ale Jet finds himself 12 seconds in front of the peloton when he starts to sprint with 1.5km to go.
img534.imageshack.us/img534/1105/415km.jpg

With 1km to go, the other sprinters see Petacchi almost 200metres in front of them. Will the Italian stay up front?

500metres to go, and the gap is big enough for Petacchi.

Stage 11 from Tortoreto Lido to Castefidardo is one many riders fear. The 144km go up and down all the way, and 4 KOTM-spprints are included. We don't want to take risks here and don't mind if a breakaway wins (again). Oh, I put the graphic levels to zero, because the stage failed loading every single time.

And of course a breakaway gets away early in the stage and stay up front to the finish. These are the results of the KOTM-sprints:
1: Monte Ripaberarda 1) Borut Bozic, 2) Enrico Gasparotto, 3) Michel Kreder.
2: Monte Vidon Combatte 1) Oscar Gatto, 2) David Malacarne, 3) Borut Bozic.
3: Rapagnano: 1) Oscar Gatto, 2) Enrico Gasparotto, 3) David Malacarne.
4: Morrovalle 1) Borut Bozic, 2) David Malacarne, 3) Michel Kreder.
img847.imageshack.us/img847/162/1kotm.jpg

The Intermediate sprint is won by Borut Bozic, in front of Oscar Gatto and Kristjan Koren.
img28.imageshack.us/img28/2589/2isv.jpg

The last few kilometres of this stage are again very difficult. The average gradient of the last 3km is 4% with a maximum of 10%.
img10.imageshack.us/img10/5571/ukm11.jpg

Oscar Gatto and Enrico Gasparotto are the strongest of the leading group. It's no surprise that the sprint for the stage win is among these two. Farnese Vini's Gatto leads with 1km to go. Can Gasparotto jump over him?
img196.imageshack.us/img196/6862/31km.jpg

In the peloton (or what is left of it after ths hard stage), Vanendert tries to surprise the opponents with Gesink in his wheel.
img31.imageshack.us/img31/1006/4acthervolgers.jpg

Up front, Gatto easily stays in front of the Astana-Italian and takes his 2nd win of the year. And compared to the 6th stage of the Settimana Coppi e Bartali, this won is way more important!
img716.imageshack.us/img716/4999/5finish.jpg

As a true puncheur, Gesink rides up to the finish. He creates a 16-second gap to all of his opponents.

Word from the DS: We are happy to finish this stage without damage. Luckily, Gesink won 16 seconds in the last km! One more flat stage, and then finally the Alps.

Stage 12, 184 completely flat kilometres from Castelfidardo to Ravenna. On easy stage before we enter the mountains.

Hey, did I just deleted the map with all the screenshots in it? Embarassed Okay, sometimes I'm a bit clumsy. Luckily I can summarize the stage in just a few words: small BOTD, of course a mass sprint, Farrar takes his 3rd win. Bos does well in 7th, no important riders loose time, only M. Wyss Has to go home with a fractured hand.

Word from the DS: Finally, the Giro D'Italia starts tomorrow! These 12 stages have been nice, but in the next 3 days, the GC will be put upside down completely. First the stage to the Grossglockner, the next day the Monte Crostis and Monte Zoncolan and finally the stage with the Passo Giau, Passo Fedaia and Gardeccia - Val di Fassa. I know some Dutchmen in a pink jersey who can't wait to climb these mountains!!

I'm looking forward to see the next stages! Grin

Hope Gesink can hold of to win the Maglia Rosa!
 
Tuco the Ugly
Looking very good for Gesink. If he keeps riding well in the mountains he may stay in pink the rest of the race. Keep it up!
