Karpets pulling Di Luca, but still he is 1 min behind. And Sella attacks and looks like he is getting away this time.

Let us see if Ricco' goes after him...

Bruseghin pulling the maglia rosa group to put time into Di Luca and take a podium spot in this Giro.

speaking of, how is Ricco regarded in Italian media? Is he well-liked? And how are they going to write about his chasing Simoni down. A few times.

Ricco' is currently Da Man here. He is good for selling newspapers, and the Gazzetta website focused much more on him than on Di Luca yesterday, just as an example...

No problem re: Simoni, everyone knows it is his last year... and he clearly did not have the legs this year for a 'glorious' victory at his last Giro.

LOL. Ricco' talking to Menchov. Contador rode up and he got into an argument with Ricco'...

Wonder what they are saying: Contador: " Hey! You are not allowed to speak to Menchov! He is not allowed to pull for you! Only CSF riders are allowed to ride up front!"

Simoni is about half-way between Sella and gruppo maglia rosa.

I guess Ricco' has to try to surprise them and get away at the last km for a time bonus.
