Leonardo Piepoli -who is 35 years old and has bagged 31 victories in his 13 seasons as a pro- ripped off with 4 kilometres to go and hammered solo to win his third Giro d´Italia stage, leaving behind a group comprising new maglia rosa wearer Andrea Noe (Liquigas) and fellow Saunier Duval's Riccardo Riccò and Gilberto Simoni. While Piepoli rocketed away, Gibo chopped down Paolo Savoldelli (Astana) and Damiano Cunego (Lampre-Fondital)´s time gains. Young Riccò showed further team strength, loyally standing by his team´s captain in the race´s crucial moments. Tomorrow, in stage 11, riders will go from Serravalle Scrivia to Pinerolo over 198 kilometres.

Leonardo Piepoli: "I must thank Simoni once again. Just like last year, it was he who told me to take off. At first, they probably let me go because I wasn´t one of the favourites, but then, when they powered away, I did it well. I don´t have the GC in mind, because we´re here to help Gibo, so there´s no sense in wasting our energy in other goals. Riccò could covet the white jersey of the best young rider, but as his excellent performance today shows, our main aim is standing by our captain."

Gilberto Simoni: "I´m very happy for Leo. I encouraged him to break clear because I wanted to see what the favourites did. He could win or he could make a selection, but in the end we did both. Riccò has been fantastic. He stood by me in the toughest moments and then he set things up for my move, completing Saunier-Duval´s great picture."

Riccardo Riccò: "Today we proved we´re a great team, despite the rumours that there are internal disputes. When Di Luca took off I was about to follow him but as I looked back and saw Gibo wasn´t there I slowed the pace and waited for him, because he´s our team leader."
