Iban avoids pile-up

Iban luckily avoided the mass-crash at the end of today`s stage. Iban came in with the pack in 52nd position at the same time as the winner, but most importantly didn`t hit the deck. Iban is no doubt looking forward to tomorrow`s stage, the first serious mountain stage. The stage finishes in Briancon, a place Iban knows a thing or two about. He`s enjoyed success there before, and I wouldn`t exclude the possibility of him winning. Though, I`m afraid he`ll have to sacrifice his own chances for Simoni, something he`s been hinting at for some days now. Anyway, it`ll be interesting to see how he copes with the Col d`Agnello and the Col d`Izoard.
