What a finale, Denis Menchov, it would probably make again exciting. 800m from the finish, as he long ago took no chances to go longer, it has put him on the pavement, but his time was up to that well enough to not only remain in the stage, but also in the overall standings ahead of Di Luca. [...]

As befits the snow people, of course there are only a few blurry pictures of the yeti. Let's see when pictures appear on the network.

Earlier, I've looked at the last half hour of today's stage and I must say, it ran as expected, the helicopter circled detail to Pompeii and Herculaneum. But that was not everything, it got even better! The Yeti was back at the track and this time also beautiful in the picture - I'm thrilled! [...]

... And then directly to Paris. The Tour de France 2009 has a funny route, only acts more like a Tour of Southern France. And given the upcoming stage up Mount Vesuvius, but one wonders indeed, who has since inspired whom? Is indeed within the same round trip just before the end.

Great insights provide us with the cyclists themselves via Twitter today: Ivan Basso: Today ... Very hard stage vesuvio Robert Hunter: Talking about MT Vesuvio'm not sure why any one would like to live on or below active volcano on knowing its gonna erupt some time?? Levi Leipheimer: Why do some table linen for hotel provides [...]

Yesterday prevented the regional traffic that I was able to experience the ride to Monte Block Haus. Also, the first attack by Lentz I've missed the fact So as compensation, the 18th Stage? Well, it's not too bold thesis that there will come here to a great group of favorites in the target, if not to a [...]

On closing day (haha!) seems fashionable swim, Michael Rogers and Levi Lentz challenges and Armstrong offers generous to lead. Just how far can you see Robert Hunter, and what he has going on - I've checked again whether he really is at the start of the Giro - is amazing. Or is it long distance swimmers?

What a final climb! Yesterday was the final stage of the already fun, but for real power is a departure just before the goal, of course, poison, only one mountaintop finish promises to win the duels and overall standings. And so it should come today, at the stage that was without question the queen stage of this year's Giro. [...]

Tomorrow there's a video with Lance 'Lentz' Armstrong and Jens 'Weuts' Voigt - I'm excited! Addendum: It was actually there! Nice clip, Jens is so famous even in the States. On his driving style and the many great attacks but also cope. I like his english!

Yesterday's 14th Stage I missed because I was sitting on the bike and have entered several kilometers. And at just the day to change the massively to the top of the distances. Levi Leipheimer broke completely and was given a package of as much as 3 seconds aufgebrummt. He can probably the Giro [...]
