I Think We're Done G18-75
The last two left from the only break that succeed (slightly) were Luis Leon Sanchez (Astana) and Alessandro De Marchi (BMC). Both have been animators of the Giro over the second week of the race, and they don't seem to be letting up. However, they are certainly surrendering to the power of the peloton and the desire of the sprinters to have their day. At this point there was only 11 seconds between the duo and the peloton and still another 12 kilometers left to go. The odds were clearly not in their favor.
