Now we'll have the tough Monte Trebbio ascent. None of the other teams seem interested in helping LPR. Armstrong and Leipheimer are very close to the front but not making any moves yet. Leipheimer can't go with the move. 30 km to go: Serge Pauwels (Cervelo) is a few seconds ahead of the break on the Colle del Gallo. May 13, Wednesday: Stage 5, San Martino di Castrozza - Alpe di Siusi, 125 km. Di Luca sticks with the Russian. KOM: A Guide to 15 km to go: Now there are 6 Liquigas riders at the front of the pack. 42 km to go: The gap has grown to 2min 30sec. The pack crossed the sprint line 1min 50sec after the break. Garzelli has taken the Green Climber's jersey with his 1st place at the top of Sestriere. He has tagged on to the Maglia Rosa group. Km 121: Milram and Caisse d'Epargne are helping out with the chase. Cataldo has been joined by Lopez-Garcia (Caisse d'Epargne) and Hector Gonzalez (Fuji). Grivko and Visconti have started to close in on Garzelli, 2min 38sec behind him. Never mind, they're caught. Visconti took the intermediate sprint followed by Palumbo. Km 74: This looks like the day's break. The break still has a nice rotating pace line. 3 km to go: Pellizotti goes again. Gap remains 3min 30sec. Cyclingnews.com: The world centre of cycling. May 9, Saturday: Stage 1, Lido di Venezia, 20.5 km. Some news: Angry that they have not been paid for 2 months, the Astana riders blocked out their sponsors' names on their jerseys today. Di Luca is wearing leg warmers as well as arm warmers and clear rain jacket. He's climbing the first hill with a supple, high-cadence pedal stroke that looks familiar. Basso and Garzelli therefore have a lead of 1min 9sec on the the Menchov group. Several important riders got held up in a crash. The Bookstore Pink Jersey Petacchi is well back, of course with the other non-climbers. 22 Teams have been invited to ride the Giro. Jason McCartney is in this lead group. Michele Scarponi tried an earlier break on the climb and has been caught by the front group.
