The Big Break

Christophe Le Mevel Wins, photo: Giro d'Italia

Today was a day for the opportunists as tomorrow the action returns to the high mountains with the feared climb up to Limone Piemonte. It was a day for the little known riders down on GC to etch their names in the annals of the Giro d'Italia. It's not uncommon on days like this for a group to gain a huge advantage as the GC favorites sit back conserving their energies for the next couple days of battle in the Alps.

Today was no exception. At kilometer 24 Van Hout (Selle Italia-Colombia) and Rodriguez Oliver (Saunier Duval) opened up a 12 second advantage to which Gorka Verdugo (Euskaltel Euskadi), Matt White (Cofidis), Ruslan Ivanov (Domina Vacanze), Wilson (Francaise des Jeux), Jan Hruska (Liberty Seguros), Filippo Pozzato (Quick Step), Daniel Schneider (Phonak) and André Korff (T-Mobile) joined them. With the extra fire- power of the other eight riders, they were able to widen the gap to forty seconds. Even with the ten riders working in perfect harmony they would need much more than forty seconds to hold off the bloodthirsty peloton. Sure enough, they were swallowed up at kilometer 53, at which point another grupetto of 22 riders took a flyer. Again, there were no favorites in this group so they were able to quickly open up a 35" advantage.

Of note, Koldo Gil (Liberty Seguros-Würth) climbed off his machine at about the same time. This will have slight repercussions for the green climber's jersey since he was sitting third in that competition.

Okay, time to get down to business. Halfway into the stage the peloton hunted down the grupetto, but another 31 or so riders organized themselves and opened up a smart gap of 3'42". Forty kilometers later the gap was at 8'53". Over the next 50 kilometers the mini peloton was whittled down to Ramirez, Gutierrez, Vanotti, Korff, Jegou, Fofonov, Le Mevel, Brandt, Talabardon, Claude, Leukemans, Engels, Murn, Andriotto, Andrle, Schleck, Ongarato and Baumann.

Fancying their chances in a smaller group 6 riders (Vanotti, Le Mevel, Brandt, Engels, Schleck and Fofonov) attacked the grupetto quickly gaining a 25" advantage. Was this the race winning move? Vanotti wanted to avoid the conflict of a small bunch sprint and took a solo dig with about 40 kilometers to go. Holding off his breakaway companions for 40 km would prove to be a near impossible endeavor and, as predicted, they reeled him in after about 8 minutes of fun.

There are 5 km remaining and the aforementioned 6 riders kept the gap on the other escapees. On paper, Engels was probably the fastest finisher of the 6, but would he get caught napping? The answer is yes. 24 year old Christophe Le Mevel launched himself down the side of the road and took what is undoubtedly the biggest win of his short career.
