11.05.2008/ Saunier Duval's Riccardo Riccò won the tough second stage from Cefalu to Agrigento. Danilo Di Luca (LPR) came in second. Christian Vandevelde (Slipstream) did not manage to defend his overall lead. Franco Pellizotti (Liquigas) is the new overall leader. The tough finish caused the pelton to split up a bit in the end.

Riccardo Riccò scored a spectacular win in today´s second stage of the 91st Giro d´Italia The stage over 207 kilometres went from Cefalù to Agrigento. 

The riders faced numerous climbs during todays stage and on the final four-kilometer climb all the favorites took it to the max.

Withn only one kilometre to go, Joaquim Rodríguez (Caisse d´Epargne) took off and built up a sizeable lead. It looked like he would take the win, but with barely 100 metres to go, a small group helped by Paolo Savoldelli (LPR Brakes) and "red bird" Leonardo Piepoli came up from behind. Then "La Cobra" showed what he was capable of doing and outsprinted Danilo Di Luca (LPR Brakes) and Davide Rebellin (Gerolsteiner) to take the win. The 24 year old Riccò  managed to break the jinx haunting him in the early season, adding the 8th triumph in his career and with Saunier Duval, the team in which he made his debut as a pro three years ago. Franco Pellizotti (Liquigas) finished fourth, taking enough time from Christian Vandevelde (Slipstream Chipotle) to take over the leader´s "maglia rosa." Tomorrow, the sprinters should be ready to blast for the first time in this year´s "Corsa Rosa" with the 221-kilometre run to Milazzo, starting in Catania.

Stage winner Riccardo Riccò said: "After so much bad luck, I can have my victory at last. I want to thank my teammates, who´ve been wonderful, especially Leonardo Piepoli, who´s helped a lot in the final stretch. Paolo Savoldelli helped too, with his job for Danilo de Luca, which led to the final sprint. I took off with 200 metres remaining and, to be honest, I myself was surprised at my strength. This is the sign I´d been waiting for, telling me I´m OK. This triumph is for my team, my family, and my girlfriend."
