Halfway through the stage it looked like a major battle between the favorites
was about to break out, when an attempt was made on the Pian Delle Fugazze climb. All the riders in the top-10 were up front
in a group of 22, but when the attempt was unsuccessful the peloton fell calm again and another group escaped. The move that
brought Mayo his victory was also formed on Pian delle Fugazze (at Km. 101), when he joined an escape with Marco Marzano (Lampre-Fondital),
Stefano Garzelli (Acqua & Sapone), Michael Rasmussen (Rabobank), Alberto Losada (Caisse d´Épargne), Evgeni Petrov (Tinkoff
Credit Systems) and Giovanni Visconti (Quickstep-Innergetic). Fifteen kilometres later, Mayo attacked with compatriot Losada,
to leave him behind on the Passo Ballino climb. This has been Mayo's 24th triumph
as a pro, his 1st one in the yellow squad.
After the stage Iban Mayo said: "I´m on
top of the world with this victory. Even before today, I was content with what I´d done in this Giro. I´d said before the
start that I hoped to catch up as stages unfolded. And this was exactly how things turned out. I rode to help the team because
I knew Simoni´s overall victory was at stake, but today I felt it was my last chance, especially when I saw it was cold and
raining, since this kind of weather suits me. I was part of breakaways right from the start, and in the cat-1 ascent we put
the leader to the test. Piepoli set a fast pace, but Di Luca showed he was very, very strong, so we chose to focus on the
stage win."
Mayo continued by saying: "When I broke away with Losada, I thought they´d reel us in. But when I noticed
signs of fatigue in him, I put in a solo attack. I didn´t really believe I could win this race until I was about to cross
the finish line, as I had a lot of first-rate riders just behind, and the gap was rather narrow. However, I really enjoyed
the home straight, because this kind of beautiful moments don´t tend to come in twos. I remembered all I´d been through, especially
over the past months, and I thought of the people who had always stood by me: my family, the team, my fans, who followed me
in the Dolomites for four days. I can´t tell whether this has been the most important triumph in my career, since last year
I scored in Dauphiné Liberé after many unsuccessful years, but no doubt it´s been a special victory, because this is my first
season with Saunier Duval - Prodir and my first ever time in Italy´s Grand Tour. So imagine how I´m feeling after all this
ego-boosting!"
For racel leader Danilo Di Luca the most dangerous rider
in the break was Evgeni Petrov (Tinkoff). He was 10th overall so the various teams, fighting for a podium spot, the teams
of the race favourites had to work hard to try and reduce the group's lead as much as possible.
Evgeni Petrov finished fourt and moved up to seventh overall.
After the stage Petrov said: "There was no end of attacks on the first, and the hardest, climb of the day, Pian delle Fugazze.
I made the selection, and our breakaway was gone; then it got split on the slippery descent with two Spaniards, Mayo and Losada,
just in front. The gap between us and them didn’t grow while the main pack, or whatever was left of it, was losing the
grip on the race. I focused on the gap between me and GC contenders, all of whom were left behind; at one point it exceeded
4 minutes which gave me further chances to move up the standings on the following day if I rode a good ITT. As to the stage
win, I was afraid that my prospects were anything but clear if it came down to a sprint finish: one of the fast men, Stefano
Garzelli, got dropped, but Iban Mayo and Giovanni Visconti are normally supposed to be faster than me."
Petrov continued by saying: "We paired up with Visconti
and I noticed he was taking only “token turns” for a hundred meters, just like it was the case when he rode in
a breakaway with Misha Ignatiev in the 3rd stage, so he was definitely preparing the sprint in case we caught up with Mayo.
But I pulled as hard as I could as the stage win was not that tangible for me as gaining something in the general classification.
Some 4 km to go I fell, and even a minor chance to win was gone. Once again a mistake to learn from, carbon wheels were out
of place in this cold rain, alloy rims are much more predictable while carbon needs time to got warmer through the pads friction
and then pinch all of a sudden. Those who opted for alloy wheels did the right thing, I had almost made the same choice right
before the stage, but hoped the rain would stop after a while…"
"I can’t say I’m empty after this breakaway,
I feel rather good and hope to follow the times of Dave Zabriskie and Marzio Bruseghin in the coming time trial," Petrov concluded.
Tomorrow´s penultimate
stage will be a 43-kilometre individual time-trial from Bardolino to Verona, and it will reveal whether Di Luca (Liquigas)
can go on wearing the "Maglia Rosa" in the face of the final podium.
