2012 Giro D'Italia: Stage 10

Back to 2012 Giro page | Stage 10 map and profile | Photos from Stage 10 |

Stage 10, May 15: Civitavecchia - Assisi, 186 km

Stage 10 finish

The Race: The day's break was caught just before the high-speed rip up the hill to the center of Assisi. Tom Jelte Slagter led for a lot of the ascent in the town, but Joaquin Rodriguez was in his element with a clean win that gave himthe 20-second time bonus, and the maglia rosa. I think it's going to be very hard to take it away from him.
