After Astana had been riding tempo for most of the day, Katusha and Radio Shack Leopold Trek can to the front and started chasing down the break away. In less than an hour the gap dropped from 5 1/2 minutes to just over 2 minutes. At that point they backed off the gas and other teams went after the break, it all came together with about 20 K to go. Actually the maglia rosa group caught what was left of the break, the stage had a very steep climb at the end of the stage that left a large part of the peleton broken into small groups all along the course. This is an original watercolor and ink postcard that is available for purchase in a short 3 day auction on ebay. Just follow the direct link at the end of this post to bid on your piece of art from the Giro d'Italia.
