Cipo already holds the all time stage record at the Giro ... He set it just
one day after tying the record in 2003.

On the day when World Champion Mario Cipollini learned of his unexpected
exclusion from the Tour de France before the stage, SuperMario showed just
how super he still is, turning a "giornata brutta" into a "bellissima
momento". Cipollini decisively won his second consecutive Giro stage ahead
of a fast-closing Robbie McEwen, and even if he was dissed again by the
French, with his 185th career win, Cipollini has now established a new stage
win record for the Giro d'Italia of 42 victories, finally beating Alfredo
Binda's record in front of a huge home crowd of his Tuscan tifosi.
