Giro 7 : Aitor Galdos out

It was a quiet and unlucky day for Euskaltel in the seventh stage of the Giro. Early in the race Irizar and Landaluze tried to get in the right break, but that didn't work out. The break of the day was for Balliani, Horrach, Sella, Spilak, Cardenas, Bosisio and Kiryienka. After some mountains only Bosisio, Cardenas, Sella and Kiryienka stayed together and they battled it out for the victory. Cardenas couldn't follow and Sella had a flat tire so Bosisio took his chance and flew away and he was able to stay away and win the stage. Among the favourites Di Luca was the strongest, he came in 5th in front of Ricco, Piepoli and Contador.

Bad news for Euskaltes. As I already expected Aitor Galdos left the race because he didn't have the right condition anymore after the northern classic.

Tomorrow we will get another stage for riders that have the right punch like Rebellin, Bettini and Ricco. But it can also be an opportunity for a break like we have seen the last three stages.
