Well, We're out of the top 10, that didn't last long!
Thomas is still hanging on to that pink jersey, good for him.
We're off to bed now, see you tomorrow for the last flat stage (for the time being, at least)! |

I think it's going good
However, I will start slowing down a little, if not today then tomorrow. I hope nobody minds, but I had a lot of time lately and that can't go on forever. So if you're here for the pace of the story, I'm sorry. (but it'll still go pretty fast, with minimum 1-2 races a day) |

Thanks sutty
I'm also glad that Thomas is in pink, it suits him, and Sky is always eager to reel in the breakaway so that's good for the other teams  |

Giro d'Italia - stage 5
This will be the last flat stage for a few days, so if the sprinters want to do something, now's the best time!
Let me take you on a strange journey...
Old timer Voigt opened the race, it's nice to see him in the attack, however short the attack might be.
It was another rider who created the breakaway, and he took along 2 companions.
Out of the breakaway, Devenyns was the only one to sprint, Brutt and Pirazzi stood by and watched him get the €1000 and the 8 points.
Petacchi won the sprint for the remaining points, followed closely by Farrar, who's looking very good in this Giro, and Cavendish, who's not in his best shape.
Well, that did it for me. Nearing the sprint I gave my everything to get that wheel of Farrar, and I succeeded!
I was in the best position for the sprint as I ever could be in, when Farrar launched his sprint, I just floated along with him.
Better yet, I floated right by him, and with a couple of other sprinters I found myself battling for the first place, for a victory in a GT, a victory in the Giro!
My legs were super today, I felt unstoppable. Plus I was one of the only sprinters who didn't waste any energy at the intermediate sprint, so I had that advantage.
I can't remember ever going that fast. I was so surprised and excited that I wasn't even thinking about what I was doing! But then it struck me!
Me, Stijn Van Gent, neopro at Lotto - Belisol, a debutant in the peloton and racing my first Grand Tour, won the 5th stage of Giro d'Italia!
This is unbelievable. I never expected this when coming here. I'm definitely not as fast as Cavendish or Farrar (yet!), however I seem to be racing extremely well and with just a bit of luck and endurance, I managed to take home my second win in my career, and this is one I'll never forget! Now I am in the history books forever! And silently I started feeling sad that we enter the hills tomorrow...

Well, what can I say, except: Congratulations Stijn!
He is making name for himself in ways I thought impossible as a neopro. I wouldn't be surprised if Stijn conquered the Green Jersey in the Tour one day, he is incredibly talented and so fast!
See you tomorrow, and then it's up to me and the other climbers! |

Giro d'Italia - stage 6
This time it's up to the punchers and the GC-competitors. Let's see what everyone can do here!
One thing that hit me today was that mountains in Italy can be steep as hell!
I was constantly at the front of the race, while minor gaps broke up the peloton. At one point, De Gendt, Nibali, Van Garderen and many more were a minute behind! I could smell the young jersey.
Front of the race
De Gendt behind
However, they quickly organized themselves and came back without losing too much energy. Most unlucky for me!
Finally, after a race that lasted an eternity, the final (steep) hill came.
At the end of the hill, Nibali and De Gendt attacked. Soon others followed. I decided to stay with the pink jersey (which now I realize was a big mistake) when suddenly I found myself in a group where all the favorites were gone. Instead, every competitor for the GC had formed a group and was nearing the finish. I could hit myself on the head for letting everyone get away. Why wasn't I with them, I know I should've been there!
Brambilla won, De Gendt was second. Van Garderen will wear the pink jersey tomorrow, in the first real mountain stage.
Only in the final kilometers I decided to make up as much time as possible, but it was too late. I lost more than 4 minutes.
And, with the coming of the first hilly stage, the inevitable finally happened...
Bart De Clerq will not finish this year's Giro d'Italia. He's already on a plane home at the moment and we hope he'll recover soon, as this has been a difficult challenge for him. He may return in the Tour of Switzerland and he will possibly ride the Vuelta instead, let's hope he wins a stage there!

I don't know the stats, but I'm thinking top 10 was the only possibility anyway, so now Eric will get 10 stages.

Very good start of the Giro for Stijn, a well deserved win . I hope things will go better for Eric.

Giro d'Italia - stage 7
The first mountain stage. Exciting times for Eric!
At the third stage it was exactly a year ago when Wouter Weylandt had died in the tragic Giro of 2011. But his name is written all over the country, as seen here. He is not forgotten. It brings us a feeling of serenity and sadness, while the peloton never stops. It reminds us of the futility of racing, and what really matters in this world, what's really important.
However, the race continued...
This time I was well positioned and on the lookout for any attacks, seeing if maybe I could counter them.
But as the peloton made fast progress along these Italian roads, I starting thinking that if I were to take some time back, I had to attack. This was never planned, but an impuls, as most of life's greatest moments happen.
The attack went well, and although many were able to follow and some were still ahead, I ended on a 10th place and moved to 22th place in the GC. (Arroyo won, by the way)
I'm pretty tired and there's another mountain stage tomorrow, so I'll get you the GC then, see you! |
