Giro d’Italia – Stage 12

: Cavendish now holds the Maglia Rossa after taking it off Goss in stage 11.

: The peloton passing the beaches in La Spezia

: The winning breakaway formed 50km into the stage which included Lars Bak (Lotto Belisol), Sandy Casar (FDJ-BigMat), Martijn Keizer (Vacansoleil), Amets Txurruka (Euskaltel-Euskadi), Ivan Santaromita (BMC), Jan Bakelants (RadioShack-Nissan), , Andrey Amador (Movistar), Jackson Rodriguez (Androni Giocattoli), and Michal Golas (Omega Pharma-QuickStep).

: Cavendish got dropped on the second climb of the stage, the category three Valico Guaitarola. Eisel stayed with him to the end where they both finished twenty minutes down. Look for a win from Cavendish tomorrow. It’s a short stage with insignificant climbs and Cav will most likely make it his last before the race hits the high mountains.

: Lars Bak, the Danish TT specialist, attacked out of a breakaway group with 1.5km remaining and time trialed his way to the stage win

: The breakaway bunch coming in after Lars Ytting Bak. Casar (FDJ-Big Mat) who came in 2nd today was the virtual maglia rosa holder while in the breaway but fell 26 seconds short of Joaquim Rodriguez who kept the overall lead. After today’s stage Casar moved up on GC from 37th to 3rd.

: Joaquim Rodriguez retains the overall lead. Ryder Hesjedal sits 17 seconds behind. Can anyone take it from Rodriguez?

Stage 13 Preview

A transition stage tomorrow and is only 121km long; the shortest stage of the Giro. It has a cat 4 speed hump right at the beginning and as always riders will try to break away. It's likely that Cavendish and other sprinters will abandon before the Giro hits the high mountains so expect this one to come down to a bunch kick as one last hurrah for the sprinters.

Loving Rodriguez’s various podium sunnies!

Good to see Veeral has got a replacement camera and is taking some fabulous shots. Can’t wait for the big mountains.

Oh and loving the podium girls too.

Tremendous coverage so far CT hope you can keep it up as the race hots up. Photo of Lars Bak smiling is fantastic – the smile of a winner who must have buried himself.

Anyone know what Cav has on his gravel rash?
I use either Duo-derm for like a week or if I need to change regularly something non adherent like Mellolin

Interested in this powder type stuff

Roddy Rodriguez = rock star

  If your rock stars look like Jockey’s then sure, why not

    J Rod looks less like a jockey than, say, Bon Scott…
