Fred Rodriguez wins (1st American)
He wins Stage 9 -- becoming the first American road winner of a Giro
stage since Andy Hampsten (in 1988?). Tyler Hamilton won a Giro ITT in 2002. Hey Lance -- listen up -- maybe another record he can break if he contests the Giro in 2005. Congrats go to Fred for pipping Petacchi at the line. http://www.cyclingnews.com/photos/2...driguez-9st0562 -Ken |

Or was he just on a good day? |
