Team CSC stole the show on the big day, stage 8. The much anticipated TT, from Lamporecchio to Firenze, was won by American David Zabriskie. Zabriskie pushed the pedals at an average of 46.14, clocking a time of 58'31". Zabriskie did not get any TV time, except when he was on the podium, because he was in the first 15 to leave the start house. It was an amazing ride by Zabriskie, and also his teammate, Ivan Basso. Basso finished finished 2nd on the stage, but more importantly he put time chunks into his key rivals.
Basso was a happy man after his difficulties yesterday on the Sammommè. Today he finished just 17" back to Zabriskie, showing he has the class and form for the coming two weeks. Also, Paolo Savoldelli did a steaming ride, bombing down the il Pinone and into Firenze. Il Falco scored an impressive ride that will keep him in contention for the coming weeks.
It was a hard day in the Toscana sun for the boys of Lampre-Caffita. Damiano Cunego and Gilberto Simoni lost a good portion of time to their adversaries, Savoldelli and Basso. Today, Cunego and Simoni lost 2'07" and 2'35" to Basso. Cunego is appearing to be the leader, as now Simoni is 1 minute back to Cunego on the GC. Either way, the Lampre-Caffita boys have their work cut out for them.

Danilo Di Luca did an impressive ride, edged on by Mario Cipollini and Mario Scirea in the Liquigas-Bianchi team car. Mario Cipollini was seen yelling out the car window and also over the speaker, as Mario Scirea guided the team car. Di Luca kept his maglia rosa, finishing only 1'35" back, just in front of team leader, Stefano Garzelli. Garzelli did a great ride considering his crash yesterday. For Garzelli it will be a matter of climbing well in the coming weeks.

Stefano Garzelli - "I have heard of Danielson and I know that he is very strong in the climbs. Together with Paolo, they will be a very terrible twosome!"
Chat with the Director Sportivo, "Very beautiful and "rigida"( how do you say in English?)"
Robbie McEwen in Pink after stage 2 of the Giro d'Italia
Tom Danielson Interview, Before the Giro d'Italia, "We looked at Lance a lot for that stage. And if I was able to do it, then I was going to try to do it. Lance had a lot of faith in me, and kind of stressed me out a little bit..."
Joseba Beloki Interview, "I'm not a real attacking kind of rider, but to attack one needs to have both confidence and physical strength to spare."
He was often criticized by the nay-sayers for not getting over the big mountains. True, he never made it to Paris. But, he knows his talents. He got paid to win races and get publicity for his sponsors., "The End of an Era"
"Every sprint is always different. There are always things going through my mind. The main thing I do is stay concentrated on the job and trying to get in the best position possible!" - Allan Davis
