Stefano Garzelli rode a heroic race. He escaped on the Moncenisio and wasn't caught until the final kilometers. Even then he refused to quit,staying with the protagonists until the end. Bravo Stefano! | |||
The high mountains make a beautiful setting for a bike race. | |||
Armstrong helped bring back the break of Andriy Grivko, Giovanni Visconti and Stefano Garzelli. Di Luca in pink is on his wheel and Lovkvist in white is to his left. | |||
Here's the winning move. Di Luca attacks on the final small climb and Sastre (in black) and the others can do nothing. | |||
This is the second chase group with Basso, Leipheimer and Soler. They are behind Di Luca, Menchov, Pellizotti, Arroyo-Duran and Sastre. | |||
Di Luca got a firmer grip on the lead when Lovkvist couldn't stay with the leaders. | |||
