You can’t complain about a stage like this one – it had a bright beginning, a wonderful middle and an emphatic – and glorious – ending. Who doesn’t want to win a stage like this, especially when it’s 2 wins from 2?
From CN: “the maglia rosa was now isolated completely and already eight minutes back. Soon, Sella could see the familiar mountain sight of RVs and knew he was doing well. The road became narrower and narrower, as more and more people lined the road and Sella pushed on, increasing his lead to 2’40″ over the main chasers, with seven kilometres to go.”
Apart from Sella, Ricco was the standout, grabbing lots of time. Simoni showed plenty of mettle and Contador did enough - just – to secure the overall lead. Tomorrow’s mountain ITT should surely see Ricco take the lead (if he wants it)... surely he does!

Not sure I’d stake my future marriage plans on success in the Giro, but then I can barely ride out of sight on a dark night.
From CN: He is serious about his maturity and will get married this June, a promise he made to his girlfriend if he was to win a stage in the Giro d’Italia. “She was very happy, she knows that it was something very important for me,” he said of his girlfriend, Laura. “I said, ‘If I win in this Giro, I will marry you at the end of this Giro.’” The couple will marry June 8.
Luckily enough, yesterday he won. Simoni was strong in the mountains and got things going, which is all that matters to me really.
