May 11, Monday: Photos from Stage 3, Grado - Valdobbiadene, 200 km.
The Giro always draws a crowd on a climb. | |||
Cavendish (in pink) tries to keep a close eye on Petacchi (purple, in front of him). With about 10 km to go Cavendish will get caught behind a crash and Petacchi will win the stage. | |||
Christian Vande Velde crashed out of the Giro. I hope he's well soon enough to be ready for the Tour. | |||
Cavendish and Armstrong have a word. | |||
Giovanni Visconti (ISD) made a last-minute move and was only caught in the final meters. | |||
Petacchi is in surperb form. Here he drives for the line. | |||
Tyler Farrar, right behind Petacchi, can't even begin to come around. | |||
So Petacchi is 2 for 2 in 2009 Giro road stages. Tomorrow is a Dolomites stage. I don't think he can make it 3 in a row. | |||
