Stage 18 - Greipel Grasps Victory

W-Hey!!! Andre-Greipel finally got his shit together and came up with a stage win in the Giro. He's no Mark Cavendish, but still, those points will come in handy.



Not that I know how many points at the moment, but I'm sure George will make-with-the-scores before too long. With any luck the Bile Beans will keep their spot at the top for a little while longer.



Today was the last chance for the sprinters. The next 3 days will certainly sort the Wheatabix from the Chaffabix and decide the overall victor in the Giro. Talk is of the battle between Basso and Evans, but there's that David Aroyyo still in the pink jersey and plenty of others within striking distance of the lead. Tomorrow's stage takes the race over the Mortirolo pass, which is quite sizable - now available in 3D.



The race still won't be over after tomorrow, there's still another mountain stage over the Gavia pass and a time trial to come - the winner is a long way from decided.
