Konovalovas Takes Rome, Menchov Italy – Stage 21 Giro d’Italia Centoanni

With their landmark destination, the Colosseum, in the background of the time trial start house, the remaining gladiators of the 100th Giro d’Italia set out on a 14.4km sojourn around the Eternal City to determine a champion.
What many expected to be one final shootout, similar to the finish of the 1989 Tour de France that [...]

Classic Finish, Gilbert Triumphs – Stage 20 Giro d’Italia Centoanni

With a showdown at the Colosseum to follow, Stage 20 was any ones to take.
In the end, Philippe Gilbert (Silence-Lotto) [...]

Sprightly Sastre Nimble Up Vesuvius – Stage 19 Giro d’Italia Centoanni

After his proclamation to fight for the title, the reigning Tour de France Champion’s legs misfired on Stage 17 up Blockhaus. But Carlos Sastre (Cervelo Test Team) would once again show his mettle as a climber on the final mountain stage of the 100th Giro d’Italia.
With only a transition stage and the final time [...]

Scarponi Back for Seconds – Stage 18 Giro d’Italia Centoanni

Like a starving man who is set down in front of a table full of food, Michele Scarponi (Serramenti PVC Diquigiovanni-Androni Giocattoli ) did not need an excuse to come back for seconds. Scarponi proved to be the strongest of the remnants of a break that numbered as many as twenty-five at one point [...]

Franco Reigns – Stage 17 Giro d’Italia Centoanni

Any consternation emanating from the Liquigas camp leading up to Stage 17 of the 100th Giro d’Italia was put to rest as Franco Pellizotti led an Italian sweep of the day’s podium and literally climbed his way into third place on the General Classification (GC). Stefano Garzelli (Acqua & Sapone – Caffe Mokambo) would [...]

Heart of a Champion – Stage 16 Giro d’Italia Centoanni

Carlos Sastre (Cervelo Test Team) was listed as one of the pre-race favorites, but it seemed more out of respect for his past accomplishments, which of course includes winning the 2008 Tour de France, rather than for his desire to win the 100th Giro d’Italia. After all, bigger fish, namely countryman Alberto Contador (Astana) [...]

Leonardo’s Work of Art – Stage 15 Giro d’Italia Centoanni

Another day, another breakaway. On a day which featured temperatures suitable for mid-summer rather than late spring, and a route with multiple climbs and a flat finish, a healthy group of 16 would survive until the final climb before being pared down to seven strong.
At the end of a long, hot, and grueling day, Leonardo [...]

Galloping Gerrans – Stage 14 Giro d’Italia Centoanni

It seems a bit ludicrous on my part, standing at 5′ 6″, to refer to Simon Gerrans (Cervelo Test Team) as diminutive, but at 5′ 7″ Gerrans is one of the smaller riders in the professional peloton. But what the 29-year old Australian has lacked in stature, he has more than made up for [...]

The Lance and Levi Show

Livestrong.com has been providing video throughout the Giro d’Italia. This one, recorded from the back of the Astana bus on Friday, was fun, especially toward the end.
