It was no secret that Danilo Di Luca (2nd from left) wanted the win and the ensuing time bonus today so his LPR Brakes team spent most of the day chasing the break up the road		share this photo
Without help from others teams, it was a good effort down the drain. A lot of matches burnt for nothing as the break stayed away...		share this photo
The first two men to hit the pivotal 16% grade one km from the finish in San Luca. Simon Gerrans (left) pedals like a winner while Christopher Froome (right) literally hit the wall weaving his way backward to 7th. Froome was overgeared and needed a 27T by his own admission.		share this photo
Francesco Reda of Quick Step suffering miserably much to the delight of the onlookers. He finished 8th @1.01.		share this photo
The GC contenders arrived together... a missed opportunity for Danilo Di Luca. Franco Pellizotti of Liquigas (green in the rear) crossed 10th, best among this group.		share this photo
Simon Gerrans gets his 2nd Grand Tour win and the first for Cervelo Test Team		share this photo
Surprisingly, former Giro winner Gilberto Simoni lost 30 seconds to his GC rivals on the steep finishing climb. Gibo is now 5.07 back on GC in 8th place in likely his last Giro.		share this photo
