Italy（May 28, 2010）–KENDA
sponsored the team rider of Androni Diquigiovanni, Michele Scarponi
won the 19th stage of Giro in Italy.
A brutal couple of days on tap in the Giro, as today's 1-2 punch
of the Trevigno and Mortirolo climbs, followed by the summit
finish of the Aprica were sure to put the hurt on the riders
and shake up the GC. Michele Scarponi hung on to the lead group
to the stage win.
In the race the five behind were taking stabs at different tempos,
but overall looked a bit herky-jerky. Ahead, Scarponi shocked
the lead group by coming through for a pull. 10k to go to the
finish, and with a minute over the pink jersey group, perhaps
he thought it was time to help the effort and maybe take a shot
at the stage win.
Basso just drove the pace as hard as he could and then Scarponi
made his move with 100 meters or so and took the stage win somewhat
easily.
On the day's stage over 195km from Brescia to Aprica, Scarponi
was more than three minutes ahead of David Arroyo to move to
the top of the overall standings. Other contenders such as Australian
road race world champion Cadel Evans, Kazakh Alexander Vinokourov
and former Tour de France winner Carlos Sastre also lost three
minutes.
