Giro D'Italia
Stage 8
Another dangerous stage with an uphill finish after 6 categorized climbs.
With 22 km to go Andreassen was setting the pace on the 70 men peloton. Discovery and Lampre was also helping as there was still 8 men ahead, the first group with 5'28 on them.
When Andy Schleck finished his work, 2'11 was the fap and the final climb had started.
Julich pace was so high that they created a gap and as Valjavec moved ahead to do his work only Leipheimer was among them.
With Valjavec exhausted Leipheimer attacked. 6 km to go and the peloton right behind them.
Basso only had ahead of him Leipheimer and Piepoli, the last resistant from the original break.
Leipheimer launced himself for the win, while Basso passed Piepoli with the favorites trying to minimize that gap.
And last year winner, who was 6'41 behind on GC, won the stage!
Basso was 2nd but only got the bonus time to the others, while Contador was 3rd.

Reporter - What a great work from you today...
Tadej Valjavec - It wasn't just me, the whole team did a great job...
R - ...too bad Leipheimer got away...
TV - Yes, he used our work but then he just flied away. For his distance on overall he wasn't a threat and again we managed to place our captain with the first men, so mission accomplished.
R - What are your personal expectations for this Giro?
TV - When i accept to come to CSC i knew my job was mainly work to the team leaders. I am very happy to be able to help Ivan and if he wears pink in Milan i will have my job done.
R - How about your perspectives for the rest of the year and next season?
TV - For now i'm totally focused on Giro. I know i can lead the team in any race with mountains, but if they want me to work in the Tour it would also be great. For now i'm happy in CSC but let's see if the team wants me for next year, i would love to continue. But as i said, for now i just think about helping our captain.
R - Final question, yesterday 15 guys abandoned, today another 22 arrived after the time limit. Is this the harder race you have ever been at?
TV - Well, for a climber i like this kind of races. But it is true that the pace has been very high early on every day. I believe tomorrow the sprinters can do something and trying to place Heinrich and protecting Ivan will be our tasks.

Yes, but CSC is also strong. Of course with three guys over 80 in mountains and one with 79 Rabobank can kill everybody on the road

Giro D'Italia
Stage 9
Today we had a long stage with over 230 km and some mountains but all far from the finish, so today the sprinters teams will want to control things. Not much more opportunities for them before the heavy mountains come.
With 16 km to go the young colombian Urán was the last survivor from the BOD. A mass sprint finish to come.
Again cuts on the peloton and again Petacchi the first to launch his sprint. Ventoso was on his wheel.
Betini reached them with 500 m to go...
And Bettini won his third stage!
Colombian champion Ardila who was 17th overall fell and he tried to rejoin with the help of 3 team mates. They couldn't and then he actually abandoned the race.

Bettini again too strong for the competition and this time Haussler couldn't hold on to the final sprint and so didn't McEwen. What a bad Giro the australian is having.

mowinckel91 - Nice words Specially with so many good stories out there. Thank you!
sutty68 - Basso needs to hold on till the heavy mountains. There he is stronger and he can get some time on TT to Cunego and other climbers.
maxime86 - He was really a great rider. I think Oscar Freire could beat him but not many others on soft hilly sprints.
SSJ2Luigi - Rabobank still have a lot of potential and both Contador and Menchov are looking strong. With a worker like Landis, they can control as they like. And still they lead the teams classification.

Giro D'Italia
Stage 10
Today we had another day for the fastest guy that can go over the 5 climbs of the day. Bettini looking unstoppable so he was the main favorite. Breaks could also occur.
With no one dangerous on the break 6 guys got enough time to discuss it, then Cristian Moreni gave Cofidis the win.
On the peloton CSC made its train and launched the sprint.
Cunego won the sprint in the peloton and was 7th while Haussler beated Bettini for 8th place.

The last day before the mountains was a bit relaxed since no one dangerous was away and the GC guys just wanted to get on the first group. Cunego keeps with the same time than Popovych but he will be wearing pink tomorrow.

Giro D'Italia
Stage 11
Today we will start to see who has what it takes to win this Giro. 5 hard climbs all on the second half of the race including a summit finish.
The hard 1st category climb to Monte Cimone started with only 50 men on the peloton and with a BOD with 10 minutes and a 4 men group who had just attacked with Parra Pinto, Cioni, Caucchioli and Scarponi.
With 5 km to the end of the climb only 21 men resisted. A 6 men group was ahead with the guys who before the climb and Zubeldia, Moncoutié and Simoni.
And only 9 go on what once was the peloton. Cunego and Popovych were on a group a bit behind.
As they reached the most of the guys on the BOD and the other 6 who had escaped lately, Zubeldia attacked again and Basso responded.
Basso had a minute on Cunego's group but on the downhill we had again a peloton to attack the final climb.
On the final climb Parra Pinto, Cioni and Scarponi charged again and Basso decided to set up his high pace at the head of the peloton.
When they entered the final km a group of 5 had a gap: Parra Pinto, Cioni, Moncoutié, Kashechkin and Leipheimer.
Parra Pinto won ahead of Leipheimer. Basso didn't resisted the final attacks and he was 11th losing a few seconds to some of his rivals.

Bobby Julich spoke to the press
Reporter - What do you have to say about today's stage?
Bobby Julich - It was really hard. We knew that we had to control the race from the start of Monte Cimone and that is what we did.
R - Monte Cimone was a key point to you?
BJ - That narrow road almost seems like we're on cyclocross. If you get yourself on a bad position a cut may occur and then is very hard to get back. We worked a lot to put Basso in front there and then i just tried not to eat too many dust.
R - Basso's gap was not enough and then on final climb he had no team mates...
BJ - Maybe we got the wrong strategy, but if we all got behind on Cimone then it would be too late to place him at the front again. At the end, he didn't lost that much time and he's still well placed on overall.
R - Tomorrow we'll have Zoncolan. After today's effort what to expect?
BJ - Basso knows this climb better than anyone on the peloton. We'll all focus to make a race that fits his skills. My personal goal is not getting with the first, we just want to deliver Basso to Zoncolan perfectly and then he'll for sure know what to do.
R - How about you? Last year you were the team leader and now you're not. How does it feels?
BJ - Above all, i'm a professional. I also helped Sastre winning last year Vuelta and i had no problem with that. My experience can help on many situations with so many youth on our team. As long as i'm useful for the team, i'm happy.
R - Thank you very much and good luck.

Giro D'Italia
Stage 12
The escalation of Monte Zoncolan is becoming one of the mythic moments on Giro D'Italia. Considered one of the hardest climbs in the world, there will be a 2nd category climb before the final test.
As soon as the final climb started attacks came from Leipheimer, Gadret, Zubeldia, Moncoutié, Kashechkin and...Contador! A 10 men group was 3'20 ahead with Evans, Scarponi and Mancebo.
The four best CSC climbers upped the pace and quickly joined the attackers.
And this group reached the escapees group. It was a strong one now and Cunego was not there. Ahead, the last resistant was the mexican Cuapio who had 3'13 on them.
Julich was working to increase that gap as they reached the maximum inclination: 22%!
With Julich exhausted Basso went to the front, but Cunego had just reached that group.
With 5 km to go Contador attacked as Guapio was reeled in.
No one answer him, so he got a 40 seconds gap wih 1.5 km to go.
And Contador got a great win!
Basso arrived with the chasers in 11th place.

Interview with Alberto Contador
Reporter - It's your first Grand Tour win. Congratulations!
Alberto Contador - Thank you, i'm very happy. After two top 3 on this Giro, and after 5th on last year Vuelta and 6th on last Giro, this is my first great celebration.
R - One big hell of a climb. Tell us about it...
AC - When the climb started immediately there were attacks. I wanted to show that i was able to follow it and so i went on to it. Then CSC started to chase, and impose a hell of a rhythm. I was just thinking on holding on, but my legs answered pretty well.
R - Then you made that decisive attack...
AC - When i looked at the other guys in there i saw everyone exhausted. As i was still feeling strong i attacked before i thought about it. When i looked back i saw that no one was following and that my day had come.
R - Now you're just 5 seconds from Cunego. It will be a hard battle everyday?
AC - Yes, it will be. But when we're out there on the mountains it isn't just Cunego. Popovych is right behind on overall and he's doing great. Basso is not as strong as people expected but he is just a minute behind. Kashechkin is doing great every day and Pinto has won a stage and he's also in a very good position.
R - How about your team? Menchov lost time today, so now you are the absolute leader?
AC - We had decided that the one feeling better would be the team leader. Landis was the first to tell us that he wouldn't fight for overall and now, after today, maybe Menchov will do the same. But it has been very hard for us. Many crashes and we have lost 5 men on this race. We are now a small team but we need to stick together to ensure the teams classification.
R - How about next year? Many teams are interested in you, including CSC...
AC - It would be unwise to speak about contracts after winning a stage. It has just been 5 months since i joined Rabobank and for now, i'm feeling fine. I want to repay the team for the trust they gave me, and i shall do it by winning this Giro. Then, we'll see what happens.
R - Thank you, and again congratulations for your great win.

STrange to see the Zoncolan with 12 riders in the same time behind Contador. Had expected more time gaps today...
