Wow! What a report. Great. Pozzo will have more chances now with some contenders already losing time. And Modolo has a chanceto get a very good result these next days.

Great report indeed, very enjoyable read. I'd prefer it though to have most part of the reults (let's say from place 20 or so) in a spoiler, it streches the whole thing a bit too much in my opinion Wink

Good luck for the upcoming stages.

@ all: Thanks! Always nice to gain an advantage on flat stages.

@ Spilak23: It'll be hard to beat the likes of Farrar, Petacchi, and Greipel etc. However, I think I'm finally getting a hang of the new sprinting in PCM11.

@ cunego59: I completely agree. Normally I do that, but I wanted to give people a full picture since it was the first time most of the that was posted.

Giro d'Italia: Stage 3


i985.photobucket.com/albums/ae338/Tuco39/Colnago/173.jpg

Stage 3 of the Giro d'Italia should belong to the sprinters. However, as we saw yesterday, other riders have differing plans. Today, the peloton will be starting in Reggio Emilia, a city nestled in the heart of the Emilia-Romagna region. They will towards the coast and Rapallo.

The day features a long, steady, climb up to the high point of the day, the Passo del Bocco, a category 3 climb. After the descent, the Madona delle Grazie is located only 8km from the finish. The short climb could be a launching pad.

Race leader Marzio Bruseghin and his Movistar team should be good enough to protect his jersey.

Attacking again began early today. This time, Stefan Pirazzi was the first rider to jump from the peloton.

Colnago will be looking for a good result in their home province.

After a bit of fighting between the attacking riders, a sizeable group of 13 riders came away from the peloton. The main field didn't seem too fused with its composition, letting them go quite easily.

The riders in the group were Pirazzi, Ruggero Marzoli (Acqua & Sapone), Sébastien Minard and Mikaël Chérel (AG2R La Mondiale), Roberto Ferrari (Androni Giocattoli), Chris Barton (BMC Racing Team), Giacomo Nizzolo (Leopard Trek), Assan Bazayev (Pro Team Astana), Guillaume Van Keirsbulck and Gert Steegmans (Quick·Step Cycling Team), Dennis Van Winden (Rabobank Cycling Team), Baden Cooke (Saxo Bank SunGard), and Geoffroy Lequatre (Team RadioShack).

The break formed in the villages outside Parma.

The sprint point on the day was in the village of Ghiare, 74km into the day. No one in the breakaway was too concerned with the points or bonus seconds, and they rolled past the point with a lead of 5'18.

This advantage did not grow much past 6 minutes.

i985.photobucket.com/albums/ae338/Tuco39/Colnago/222.jpg
It was a long, hot day in the sun for the escapees.

Once again, it was Movistar Team on the front of the peloton, controlling the pace. Iván Gutiérrez continued his domestique work from yesterday, sitting on the front for kilometer after kilometer.

As he led the main bunch over the Passo del Bocco, the breakaway's lead had been cut to 2'35.

The peloton prepares to make the descent into Chiavari.

On the descent, Pablo Urtasun (Euskaltel - Euskadi) crashed, breaking his ribs. The veteran sprinter did not finish the day, becoming the first rider to abandon this year's Giro d'Italia.

The breakaway was able to stay clear of the peloton in the small valley before the final climb, the Madona delle Grazie. As they started the short climb, the peloton was only 1'03 behind. Marzoli attacked.

Marzoli goes with the peloton closing in.

In the breakaway, the riders were all trying to respond to move by Marzoli. Barton, Nizzolo, and Van Keirsbulck had no chance and were almost immediately dropped.

Pirazzi, who should've been one of the best climber in the group, was struggling with the pace. He went over the top of the climb just in sight of the leading group of 9. If he descended well, he could rejoin them.

Pirazzi trying to cling on. Various yachts dot the waters of the Tigullio Gulf.

It was important for Pirazzi to stick with the leading group, because, inexplicably, the peloton had completely given up chasing!

Movistar had moved off the front, and no other team was willing to chase the breakaway. The lead, which had been down to one minute, had ballooned to 4'13 in a matter of kilometers. The maglia rosa was being lifted from Bruseghin's shoulders.

Unfortunately, Pirazzi could not reconnect with the leading group. Up the road, Bazayez was leading a daredevil descent. The Kazakh's pace was too much for the young Colnago rider, who is not the best over such a technical route. He slowed down to reconnect with the previously dropped riders.

i985.photobucket.com/albums/ae338/Tuco39/Colnago/226.jpg
Bazayev's descending prevented Pirazzi from rejoining the leading group.

The sprint for the stage win was anti-climatic, with Marzoli easily outpacing his competitors. For the second day in a row, a veteran rider captured his first Giro stage win.

Pirazzi rolled across the line 1'30 later, in 13th. He shook his head as he crossed the line, knowing he should've been able to stay with the leading group.

The peloton finished 4'24 after Marzoli. André Greipel (Omega Pharma - Lotto) was the best of the rest. Sacha Modolo didn't bother sprinting for the minor places. All the main GC riders stayed out of trouble today.

Marzoli's win punctuates a solid career.

But who would move into the leader's jersey?

23 year old Dennis Van Winden, who finished on the day took over the race lead. It is not surprising to see a Rabobank rider wearing pink, however, few would've predicted this youngster to don the maglia rosa.

Giacomo Nizzolo moved into 2nd place, 2'20 down, while Marzoli occupied the third spot, 2'28 down.

Tuco the Ugly
Giro d'Italia: Stage 4


i985.photobucket.com/albums/ae338/Tuco39/Colnago/174.jpg

Starting just outside of Genova, the peloton will now begin its journey south, into the boot of Italy. Today's stage again features a climb close to the end of the day, the Montenero. With the sprinters' chances already dwindling, their teams will have to work hard to stop riders from launching attacks.

Additionally, the peloton will climb with the Passo del Bracco. However, its position should neutralize the ascent.

Six riders were adventurous enough to form a breakaway. With well over 100km of pan-flat terrain after the Bracco, this was not a move many wanted to make, Colnago included. The riders in the escape group were Stage 3 winner Ruggero Marzoli (Acqua & Sapone), Kristof Goddaert (AG2R La Mondiale), Martin Velits (HTC - Highroad), Maxime Vantomme (Katusha Team), Martin Pedersen (Leopard Trek), and Matteo Tosatto (Saxo Bank SunGard).

The break, back in Rapallo.

Everyone took the climb of the Passo del Bracco easy. The break pushed its advantage up to 10'26 at the mountain sprint. A large lead, but something that should be manageable for the peloton. Then again, on the two road stages, we've had two breakaway wins.

i985.photobucket.com/albums/ae338/Tuco39/Colnago/230.jpg
The breakaway begins the descent of the Bracco.

On the flat roads, Marco Frapporti went to the front to work for the main group. Colnago were not represented in the move and wanted to try to set up Sacha Modolo for a sprint. Also, by working on the front, the team gained some exposure for the sponsors.

i985.photobucket.com/albums/ae338/Tuco39/Colnago/231.jpg
Frapporti sat on the front for much of the day, reducing the lead.

In a while, riders from many teams joined Frapporti to reel in the breakaway. Today, they left nothing to chance, catching the breakaway with 25km to go.

The high pace was kept up in order to dissuade attacks. During the first time through the streets of Livorno, a split occurred. José Rujano (Androni Giocattoli), Rémy Di Gregorio (Pro Team Astana), and Juan Mauricio Soler and Marzio Bruseghin (Movistar Team) all were ill-positioned. An extremely talented climber, this is the second time in three stages Rujano has unnecessarily lost time on the flat. At the end of the day, Rujano was 12'37 behind in GC, his chances may already be over.

The peloton splits.

The Montenero created a second break in the peloton. The high pace by the peloton stopped attacks, but several more GC favorites found themselves boxed in by weaker riders. Included in this group were Stefano Garzelli (Acqua & Sapone), John Gadret (AG2R La Mondiale), Marco Pinotti (HTC - Highroad), Danilo Di Luca (Katusha Team), Michele Scarponi (Lampre - ISD), Steven Kruijswijk and Bauke Mollema (Rabobank Cycling Team), Richie Porte (Saxo Bank SunGard), Janez Brajkovic (Team RadioShack), Ezequiel Mosquera (Vacansoleil - DCM Pro Cycling Team). All lost 1'12 on the day.

Domenico Pozzovivo made it safely over the climb with the leading group, along with Igor Antón (Euskaltel - Euskadi) and Ivan Basso (Liquigas - Cannondale).

Modolo was also in good shape and began to prepare for the first mass sprint of the Giro. He joined a line of the big sprinters, sitting on the wheel of Greg Henderson (Sky ProCycling). Tyler Farrar (Team Garmin - Cervélo) was at the head of the line, followed by André Greipel (Omega Pharma - Lotto), Matthew Goss (HTC - Highroad), and Alessandro Petacchi (Lampre - ISD).

Modolo knew he could not beat the more established sprinters straight up. He'd have to surprise them. He opened up at the flamme rouge, before anyone was ready.

The situation approaching the line.

Only two riders reacted. Goss and Borut Božic (Vacansoleil - DCM Pro Cycling Team) started too. Farrar and Greipel were completely surprised, while Petacchi was boxed in.

Modolo goes.

With the big favorites startled, young Aussie Goss took full advantage of the situation, holding off Božic and Modolo for the stage win, his second consecutive year with a stage win at the Giro.

Pozzovivo continues to move up the GC, now sitting in 35th.

3rd is good with Modolo. It's stupid to see those gaps, because of riders that get boxed in. Had in my story, sometimes in your advantage, sometimes not....

3rd place is very good. Good for Pozzo that the splits happened. Colnago doing great so far.

@ dienblad: Its somewhat realistic, just wish the AI did a better job at positioning riders.

@ all: Thanks! I'm not sure I can really do better than third with Modolo, but I'll keep trying.

Giro d'Italia: Stage 5


i985.photobucket.com/albums/ae338/Tuco39/Colnago/175.jpg

Piombino - Orvieto: 189.8km

Last year, Cadel Evans won an absolutely epic stage on the rain-soaked gravel roads to Montalcino. This year, the sterrato will again play a role in the fifth stage. The peloton will wind its way inwards, finishing in Orvieto after an uneven day of racing. The main features on the day are the Saraglio and the Croce di Fighine, both category 3 climbs.

Today, the GC men will begin their battle.

But before, any showdown, a breakaway. Stefano Pirazzi tried to get free from the peloton.

i985.photobucket.com/albums/ae338/Tuco39/Colnago/236.jpg
Pirazzi attacks.

Colnago would've preferred to use Gianluca Brambilla in the move, but he was still suffering from his crash on the second stage. Currently, Brambilla is in last place overall and there have been serious talks about him abandoning if his condition doesn't improve quickly.

Pirazzi wasn't allowed to get away.

With the break almost formed, Filippo Savini made a last ditch effort to get Colnago into the move. He was forced to chase down a group of 6 riders; Guillaume Bonnaford (AG2R La Mondiale), Karsten Kroon (BMC Racing Team), Francesco Reda (Quick·Step Cycling Team), Mads Christensen (Saxo Bank SunGard), Murilo Fischer (Team Garmin - Cervélo), and Ivan Rovny (Team RadioShack).

i985.photobucket.com/albums/ae338/Tuco39/Colnago/237.jpg
Savini trying to make the junction with the break.

The Colnago rider made the move and quickly began working with the group. They soon had a lead of 7'46 over the main field.

At the sprint point in Arcidosso, their lead had shrunk a bit, to 6'13. Vacansoleil were doing the chasing, likely to set up a later move by team leader Ezequiel Mosquera. The Spaniard lost time yesterday and will be eager to make some of it up.

Reda took full points over the Saraglio. The breakaway's advantage was now 5'15, another minute chopped off.

i985.photobucket.com/albums/ae338/Tuco39/Colnago/238.jpg
The break goes over the high point of the day.

Now, the white gravel roads came into play.

Savini pushed the pace up the Croce di Fighine, trying to keep the break from coming back to the peloton. Their lead had fallen even further to 3'26.

i985.photobucket.com/albums/ae338/Tuco39/Colnago/239.jpg
Savini working hard for the breakaway.

The relentless pace of the peloton caused serious troubles on the same climb. Much like yesterday, Michele Scarponi (Lampre - ISD) found himself being distanced.

i985.photobucket.com/albums/ae338/Tuco39/Colnago/240.jpg
Two days in a row, Scarponi watches the peloton climb away.

The Italian was not alone. A cadre of GC riders lost contact. Stefano Garzelli (Acqua & Sapone), José Rujano (Androni Giocattoli), John Gadret (AG2R La Mondiale), and Jurgen Van den Broeck (Omega Pharma - Lotto) all fell behind.

Scarponi wasn't content with this, and set off alone, chasing the main group.

i985.photobucket.com/albums/ae338/Tuco39/Colnago/241.jpg
Scarponi finds himself in a dangerous situation, and isolated.

The peloton did not truly push the advantage, which was perhaps a mistake, and Scarponi made up the 1'30 deficit fairly quickly. After the race, he stated he had suffered a hunger knock.

With the breakaway still up the road, Igor Antón (Euskaltel - Euskadi), attacked from the peloton, checking to see if everyone was awake.

i985.photobucket.com/albums/ae338/Tuco39/Colnago/242.jpg
Antón looking extremely dangerous.

The attack was half-hearted, but still caused damage. Race leader Dennis Van Winden (Rabobank Cycling Team) was dropped. In a silly move, his team sent Bauke Mollema, Luis León Sánchez, and Bram Tankink back to help him. Surely Mollema and Sanchez's chances shouldn't be sacrificed for Van Winden.

i985.photobucket.com/albums/ae338/Tuco39/Colnago/243.jpg
Van Winden was gapped, but Rabobank was fighting to hang onto the maglia rosa.

Over the flat run-in to Orvieto, the break continued to resist the peloton. They arrived at the final climb up to the finish line.

Behind them, Alessandro Bertolini (Androni Giocattoli) and Giovanni Visconti (Farnese Vini - Neri Sottoli) attacked. This was the first time in the race that Visconti, the current Italian national champion had made himself really visible.

i985.photobucket.com/albums/ae338/Tuco39/Colnago/244.jpg
Veteran Bertolini and Visconti try to chase down the break.

Most of the breakaway riders were struggling up the final climb. However, Reda, who looked strong all day, started creating a gap. Just as he gained some bike lengths, Bertolini and Visconti caught up with the back of the group. Just behind those two was the peloton.

i985.photobucket.com/albums/ae338/Tuco39/Colnago/245.jpg
Reda riding away.

Then, attacks came from the peloton. Antón was the first to move, and shot out of the peloton like an orange bullet. He quickly passed the slower breakaway riders, making up ground on Reda, Bertolini, and Visconti.

i985.photobucket.com/albums/ae338/Tuco39/Colnago/246.jpg
Antón is probably the best "puncheur" of the GC riders.

The reaction from the peloton was slow. Vasil Kiryienka (Movistar Team) was the first to respond. With him came Ivan Basso (Liquigas - Cannondale) and Mikel Nieve (Euskaltel - Euskadi).

i985.photobucket.com/albums/ae338/Tuco39/Colnago/247.jpg
The "response."

Next came Scarponi and Mosquera.

Domenio Pozzovivo? He was struggling up the final climb, unable to accelerate like his rivals. He ground his way up the climb, leading what was left of the peloton up, trying to limit losses.

The road simply ran out for Antón. If the stage was several hundred meters in length, the Basque would've easily taken the day. However, Reda managed to hold everyone off, becoming the first Italian stage winner of this year's Giro.

Antón's runner-up finish moved him into 3rd overall, just behind Van Winden and Kiryienka. The Dutch rider finished 2'28 down, enough to keep his lead, but at the expense of some of his teammate's times.

Basso and Scarponi sit dangerously in 5th and 7th respectively.

Despite his rough day, Pozzovivo finished in 17th, 1'06 behind Reda. He enters the top 10 overall, along with his teammate Federico Canuti. Canuti has not left Pozzovivo's side all Giro, keeping the team leader out of trouble.

Antón forced Reda to ride all the way to the finish, but the reward is worth it.

Nice Story, Can you post Dennis Van Winden his Stats?
 
Tuco the Ugly
@ cunego59 and baia: Thanks. Things are going really well for now, hopefully that can continue.

@ YvesStevens: Here is a screenshot of Van Winden after Stage 6. I'm using the PCM Daily DB, with only changes to Stefano Pirazzi, so this is how he's developed in 5 months.

He came in 8th in Paris - Camembert, 9th in GP de Denain, and 15th in Etoile de Bessèges.

i985.photobucket.com/albums/ae338/Tuco39/DVW.jpg

I should have a couple new stages up in the coming days.

Giro d'Italia: Stage 6


i985.photobucket.com/albums/ae338/Tuco39/Colnago/176.jpg

Orvieto - Fiuggi Terme: 193.6km

A second consecutive hilly stage awaits the peloton. The riders have stayed in Orvieto over night, and will again head south, passing Rome, before finishing in Fiuggi. Yesterday's stage saw a little separation on the final climb into Orvieto, but today's finish is downhill.

Filippo Savini tried to get into the break again today. Yesterday he finished in 6th, hanging on after the break was caught by some of the contenders. Today, it was his goal to pick up KOM points at Soriano al Cimino, 49km into the day. However, today, he could not escape the peloton.

A break did form without a Colnago rider; it was made-up of Mikaël Chérel (AG2R La Mondiale), Francesco Ginanni (Androni Giocattoli), Ivan Santaromita (BMC Racing Team), Maxime Vantomme (Katusha Team), Sven Vandousselaere (Omega Pharma - Lotto), Maarten Wynants (Rabobank Cycling Team), Matteo Tosatto (Saxo Bank SunGard), Kurt-Asle Arvesen (Sky ProCycling), Murilo Fischer (Team Garmin - Cervélo), and Geoffroy Lequatre (Team RadioShack).

i985.photobucket.com/albums/ae338/Tuco39/Colnago/249.jpg
Arvesen at the head of the breakaway group.

By the KOM point, their lead was sitting at 3'02. With 100km to go, it had grown to 7'31. It did not get much larger as Vacansoleil moved to the front, just as they did yesterday.

i985.photobucket.com/albums/ae338/Tuco39/Colnago/250.jpg
Vacansoleil control the proceedings.

Their pace, coupled with the narrow roads around Guidonia Montecelio, caused a split in the peloton. Some of the outsiders such as Danilo Di Luca (Katusha Team), David Arroyo (Movistar Team), Dario Cataldo (Quick·Step Cycling Team), and Bauke Mollema and Steven Kruijswijk (Rabobank Cycling Team) found themselves in trouble. Only on the fifth road stage, poor positioning has already cost several riders. This group was able to claw back, reconnecting with the peloton 15km down the road.

Before the main field came together, Giovanni Visconti (Farnese Vini - Neri Sottoli) attacked. The Italian champion was very aggressive yesterday, but fell short in his bid for a stage win. Today, he was going from nearly 60km out.

i985.photobucket.com/albums/ae338/Tuco39/Colnago/251.jpg
Visconti digs deep.

He did not create much separation, as the peloton let the dangerous rider sit just ahead of them. With 45km to go, he was only 30" ahead. Then, Fabian Wegmann (Leopard Trek) and Enrico Gasparotto (Pro Team Astana) attacked. Visconti went with them.

i985.photobucket.com/albums/ae338/Tuco39/Colnago/252.jpg
Visconti jumps aboard this new attack.

Right after the sprint point in Cave, the three attackers connected with the breakaway group. They were 59" ahead of the chasing peloton.

Visconti, Wegmann, and Gasparotto moved to the front of the breakaway, setting the pace as they began the penultimate climb to Anagni. Behind them, Euskaltel - Euskadi was really working hard to reel in the breakaway.

As the peloton arrested the move, yesterday's runner-up, Igor Antón attacked with Vasil Kiryienka (Movistar Team). Both riders have an excellent chance to grab the maglia rosa should Dennis Van Winden (Rabobank Cycling Team) falter.

i985.photobucket.com/albums/ae338/Tuco39/Colnago/253.jpg
Kiryienka and Antón go as the break is swept up.

Their move did not stick, and after a some tense kilometers, the group came back together. Van Winden was still present in the leading group, as was Domenico Pozzovivo, who was looking much more attentive than yesterday.

Visconti and Gasparotto were not satisfied with being caught, and on the respite before the final climb, attacked again.

i985.photobucket.com/albums/ae338/Tuco39/Colnago/254.jpg
Gasparotto and Visconti, both pushing hard for a win.

However, once again, this move did not hold. Ivan Basso (Liquigas - Cannondale) marshaled the leading group.

What the move did accomplish was breaking Van Winden. It was one acceleration too much for the young Dutch rider. He entered the day leading Kiryienka by 2'13 and Antón by 2'21. Could either rider take out enough time?

i985.photobucket.com/albums/ae338/Tuco39/Colnago/255.jpg
Van Winden's time in pink may be dwindling.

On the final climb into Fiuggi, it was Antón who was once again the protagonist. The Basque rider has been very active this past two days, launching many attacks. His efforts haven't been fully rewarded, but if he could get away from the field, he may change his orange jersey for a pink one.

i985.photobucket.com/albums/ae338/Tuco39/Colnago/256.jpg
Antón accelerates again. The Basque has looked very dangerous.

In the theme of the day, Antón's last attack was also covered by the main field. Quite a large group of 70 riders made it over the top together. Everyone descended safely. Luis León Sánchez (Rabobank Cycling Team) looked certain for victory, but slowed, having launched his sprint from too far out. The sprint from the group was won by Russian Yuri Trofimov (Katusha Team).

Pozzovivo finished well, coming in 6th, sandwiched between Michele Scarponi (Lampre - ISD) and Basso.

i985.photobucket.com/albums/ae338/Tuco39/Colnago/257.jpg
Trofimov wins, just ahead of Gasparotto.

Van Winden finished in 92nd, 2'33 down. Kiryienka assumed the race lead, 8 seconds ahead of Antón. Van Winden moved into third place, 20 seconds behind.

Pozzovivo stays in 8th, but is now only 1'55 behind.

Kiryienka becomes the second Movistar rider to don the maglia rosa.

You're doing well in the GC, and you should still be able to overtake, Fischer, Van Winden and hopefully Kiryienka.
 
Spilak23
Nice top 10 with Pozzo. I think Scarponi, Basso, Mosquera and Anton are too strong for him but it will be an intresting fight agains Kyrienka, Velits, Pinotti and Sanchez. Good luck!

Agreed. With a bit luck, a Top 5 might be possible and that would be a huge success.

I have to say that this story more and more becomes one of my favorites. I really like your reporting style a lot and you chose a very interesting team. Keep it up!

@ valverde321: If Pozzovivo can't overtake Fischer and Van Winden, I'm in trouble.

@ Spilak23: I think those 4 are the real contenders. Kiryienka, Velits, Pinotti, and Sanchez are all 76s in the mountains while Pozzovivo is a 79. Given the parcours, he should be safe from them. I'm more worried about riders like Gadret, Rujano, and Van den Broeck. Despite being a bit off the pace, could cause damage in the mountains.

@ cunego59: Thanks a lot. I really enjoy your Nerz story. Although I don't comment much, I've been following it for a while. Fingers crossed for Top 5!

Giro d'Italia: Stage 7


i985.photobucket.com/albums/ae338/Tuco39/Colnago/177.jpg

Maddaloni - Montevergine di Mercogliano: 100.4km

The end of the first week sees the first summit finish of the Giro d'Italia. A short stage, finishing with the Montevergine, today will be the first major test for the GC contenders. Before the riders tackle the final ascent, they will climb the Serra della Strada, certainly a leg loosener.

Both climbs on the day are category 2. Neither are incredibly steep, but they are long.

For the third day in a row, Filippo Savini tried to get into the breakaway. Today, he was successful. The Italian was part of a 12 man group; Savini, Guillaume Bonnaford and Mikaël Chérel (AG2R La Mondiale), Ivan Santaromita (BMC Racing Team), Emanuele Vona (Farnese Vini - Neri Sottoli), Vladimir Gusev (Katusha Team), Anders Lund (Leopard Trek), Sven Vandousselaere (Omega Pharma - Lotto), Matteo Tosatto (Saxo Bank SunGard), Morris Possoni (Sky ProCycling), Thomas Peterson (Team Garmin - Cervélo), and Geoffroy Lequatre (Team RadioShack).

i985.photobucket.com/albums/ae338/Tuco39/Colnago/259.jpg
Another day, another break.

This was quite an experienced breakaway group. Tosatto, Chérel, Lequatre, Santaromita, and Vandousselaere all took part in yesterday's attempt. For Tosatto, this is his 4th breakaway out of 6 opportunities; the third for Lequatre and Chérel. Savini and Bonnaford participated in a break during Stage 5.

Given the length of the stage, Savini wanted to push the pace from the beginning. As soon as the first climb came, he moved to the front.

Fans line the course as Savini leads the break up the Serra della Strada.

Savini set the pace all the way up the climb, fracturing the group. He led a smaller group of 4 riders over the top, 6'01 ahead of the peloton. The riders still with him were Possoni, Peterson, and Santaromita.

Having collected full points, Savini was tentatively in the KOM lead.

The small rise in between the two major climbs saw a very elite group of riders attack. In a move spurred by Giampaolo Caruso (Katusha Team), 5 other strong climbers left the safety of the peloton. With Caruso was Cayetano Sarmiento (Acqua & Sapone), José Rujano (Androni Giocattoli), Mikel Nieve (Euskaltel - Euskadi), Rui Costa (Movistar Team), and Janez Brajkovic (Team RadioShack). Rujano and Brajkovic entered the Giro with hopes of a podium finish but have only found poor luck and crashes.

The aggressive move was a worrying development, but given the GC picture, no one else chased them.

An elite group of 6 move away from the peloton.

The group very quickly started to make up ground on the leading break group.

The leading group got the base of the Montevergine with only a lead of 1'25 over the chasing group. However, they were 4'30 ahead of the peloton. Today there would be two separate battles; one for the stage win, another for GC position.

Savini's leading group at the base of the climb.

After taking some rest during the valley, Savini immediately went to the front of the group once the climb began in earnest.

Down the road, Caruso and Rujano took the responsibility of trying to chase down the group. It was essentially 2 vs. 1. As Savini towed his companions, their lead was falling. With 10km left, the advantage was only 49".

i985.photobucket.com/albums/ae338/Tuco39/Colnago/263.jpg
Savini's group is in sight.

Savini upped the pace. Peterson and Santaromita were dropped. A kilometer later, Possoni lost contact. With this increase in speed, Savini, now alone, was 1'04 ahead of Rujano's group.

For several kilometers, Savini was steady, but the length of the climb started to drain on the Colnago rider.

i985.photobucket.com/albums/ae338/Tuco39/Colnago/264.jpg
Savini can see the riders coming around the bend.

Savini fought on. Before long, he saw the flamme rouge just ahead. With only 1 more kilometer he tried to summon his strength for the final push. As he did, Caruso and Rujano appeared just behind him.

i985.photobucket.com/albums/ae338/Tuco39/Colnago/265.jpg
Savini, about the be caught.

Had the stage been 99km, Savini would've taken the stage win. But it was 100km. In the last kilometer, Rujano had the fastest kick, beating Caruso for the stage win. An exhausted Savini crossed the line 15 seconds later in third.

Rujano has had a rough Giro, but takes the stage and greatly improves his GC chances.

While this battle went on up the road, on the lower slopes, the riders in the main field battled for position.

The first move was launched 6km from the line by Steven Kruijswijk (Rabobank Cycling Team). Going with him was race leader Vasil Kiryienka (Movistar Team), Danilo Di Luca (Katusha Team), and Jurgen Van de Broeck (Omega Pharma - Lotto).

The first attacks from the peloton came as Rujano was winning up ahead.

Vacansoleil, namely Matteo Carrara, closed down this move.

Appropriately, the next attack came from Ezequiel Mosquera.

Mosquera makes his ambitions known.

However, Mosquera didn't fully commit, and seemed to sit up after only a bit. While nothing decisive had been launched, the constant accelerations shredded the weaker riders. Domenico Pozzovivo and the rest of the main contenders were thus far looking comfortable.

A trio of riders, led by Ivan Basso (Liquigas - Cannondale) went with 3km to go. Following the defending champion was Richie Porte (Saxo Bank SunGard) and Francesco Masciarelli (Pro Team Astana).

Basso goes. Dangerous.

Only Mosquera was attentive enough to fully respond to this move. He got across to the group just as Basso accelerated again.

Basso goes again; Mosquera is at the back of this small group.

Basso and Mosquera picked up a struggling Nieve, who had been left by the elite chasing group on the climb. The three riders were in the clear, having dropped Porte and Masciarelli.

Back in the stunned peloton, riders tried to collect themselves. Kruijswijk did the best in the jumbled response, reaching Porte and Masciarelli.

A group of 4 riders, containing Pozzovivo, Kiryienka, Antón, and Van den Broeck was next on the road.

Scarponi didn't have a good day, unable to go with any of the myriad of attacks.

The chaotic finish.

In conclusion, Rujano took the stage win with a time of 2h58'39. This victory saw him jump from 101st to 48th overall.

Savini's 3rd place finish, sees him grab the KOM lead. Tomorrow he will wear the maglia verde.

Impressively, Kiryienka remains in the maglia rosa, matching his closest rival, Antón.

Basso is the big winner on the day, moving into third place. 25 ominous seconds behind.

Trofimov performed very well, and now occupies 4th overall. A spot behind, is Mosquera. The Spaniard, the only rider capable of going with Basso, leapfrogs Pozzovivo and is now 1'23 down.

Pozzovivo is now 6th overall, still 1'55 down.

Scarponi stays in 7th, but lost time today, and is now 1'59 off the pace.

Lastly, there were 7 riders forced to abandon because of missing the time limit. They are William Clarke and Giacomo Nizzolo (Leopard Trek), Jacopo Guarnieri (Liquigas - Cannondale). Jens Debusschere (Omega Pharma - Lotto), Guillaume Van Keirsbulck (Quick·Step Cycling Team), Davide Appolonio (Sky ProCycling), and Jesse Sergent (Team RadioShack).
