Damn, David Millar had a great chance at winning today in a 4 man breakaway that was able to stay clear.  Too bad his chain broke right when the winning move happened.  Great video of him getting pissed and throwing his bike over the fence.

Thank you for posting this.  I was looking for a picture of this earlier and couldn't find one.

Bettini had time to bake some cookies and share recipes in the peloton

This is why grand tours are awesome:

16:07 CEST   
Sella attacks the peloton!

16:08 CEST    137km/40km to go
Sella is wearing the green jersey for the best climber. Maybe he has a feeling he will lose it tomorrow and that will be the last time he can show it off.

16:09 CEST   
Ah, no. It was a pre-arranged move to say hi to his family! A few hugs on the right hand side of the road, but the peloton is not far behind and Sella has to get going again.
