Gerrans!

Simon Gerrans, in his faux FGBC jersey, was the best of a breakaway group that managed to survive to the end. Bertogliati was second and Gavazzi third. No change on the GC, though Di Luca and Menchov gained three seconds on Leipheimer, who couldn't hang on at the end of this classics style stage. See Pez for more.

Final 2 kilometres:




In the FGBC Giro d'Italia Pool, the big breakaway made it a bit of a crapshoot. Lots of low numbers on the day, as the main contenders were well back. But it worked out nicely for Paul V. He takes his first stage win with 230 points. Prince Dan was second with 185 points. Chris A had 175 points for third place to knock KK back off the podium and jump ahead of Mike into second place in the overall race. I am still in the lead.
