Di Luca Opens the Throttle

Stage List, Stage Profile, Photos

A sprint of champions today in the 88° Giro d'Italia. Danilo Di Luca (Liquigas-Bianchi), leader of the ProTour and winner of Amstel Gold Race and Flèche Wallonne, added a Giro d'Italia stage win to the year's palmarès. After 205K he nipped Damiano Cunego, 2004 Giro d'Italia winner, at the line. Paolo Bettini, finished sixth, kept close to Di Luca to take the maglia rosa, since McEwen, together with Petacchi, arrived a minute too late.

Even though today the maglia rosa switched from Aussie, Robbie McEwen, to Italiano, Paolo Bettini, it was still a big day for the boys from down under. Aussie Russel Van Hout of Selle Italia-Colombia took off alone around lunch time (8K after the start) in Italy, and was not seen by the peloton till it was aperitivo time, after 166K. Van Hout showed true spirit and determination, not to mention the desire of having his sponsor's name on TV, and yes, BiciRace.com. His escape almost reached 17 minutes at one point, passing the Intergiro with 11" advantage. Good work Russ, we wish you would have made it!

But Van Hout's hopes were dashed around kilometer 174, leaving about 12K to go before the fires started. On the slopes of Santa Tecla the race was made, Bettini lit the fuse, but it was Di Luca who put in the move that exploded the gruppo. It was "ciao" to the sprinters Petacchi and McEwen by the top of the climb. A group of around 40 was formed at the top of the Santa Tecla, with 10K to go to the line. In the group was Bettini, Garzelli, Cioni, Basso, Savoldelli, Simoni and Cunego.

The finish to Giffoni Valle Piana was littered with hairpin turns and it was a full-bore to the line. Garzelli and Cioni were working their tails off for their Liquigas-Bianchi teammate, Di Luca. When Di Luca went it was only the Piccolo Principe that was able to follow, making a very tight sprint, that Cunego might have had if there was one meter more to the line. Garzelli, always fast in this type of finish, hung in for third.
