Ivan Basso (Team CSC) hit back today with a strong stage win. Basso, who refused to retire after loosing 42 minutes on lo Stelvio, fought back today with his first Giro d'Italia stage win. The CSC rider won at the end of a 194K stage, finishing on the top of Colle di Tenda in Limone Piemonte.
The day's stage immediately took off with a bang. There was attacking over the first GPM, but it was after that when a move solidified. It was a 12-man move that formed, with Zanini and Bettini working for the Intergiro, and succeeding. The group resisted surrendering on the Madonna del Colletto, but their day was soon over after Cunego's pace on the Colletto del Moro.
Basso hung tight with the favorites over the Colletto del Moro then formed part of a five man group for the final climb. In the group was CSC teammate, Schleck, a valuable assets for the final ascent of the Tenda. The Tenda is fierce, with a length of 13.5K and average 6% grade. Schleck worked his legs off and then Basso made his attack about mid-way up, thundering towards the French border at the summit.
Basso's group and attack was not of any worry to the GC battle brewing behind. Il Falco was once again isolated, danger was all around. Cunego and Simoni were working in harmony, they had set a mean pace on the Colletto del Moro, and set to destroy Savoldelli on the Tenda. Cunego did the dirty work for Simoni, then taking a quick exit. With 5K remaining Simoni set fire to the road, immediately gapping il Falco, with Di Luca further back. Simoni was joined by a strong Rujano, together they made pace, adding time to the pink jersey.
To the rescue of Savoldelli was yellow guard, Saunier Duval - Prodir, Garate and Lobato were fighting like made to secure Garate's spot in the GC. Il Falco was able to hang on and benefit from their work. At the line il Falco lost 38 seconds, it may not be a lot, but it was annoying and potentially dangerous.

Tomorrow is the Torino TT and it is sure to further shake up the GC. Savoldelli will hold his own in the TT, while Simoni will have to dig deep for inspiration. Basso may be on the move, with a potential to win two stages in a row. As for Di Luca, he seems to be on the down slope and will have to fight like mad with Rujano.
