The Blue-fucsia team thanks Gavazzi, who completed an outstanding race in the 18th stage (Solares-Noja, 174,6 km): Gavazzi pipped Vandewalle in a two men sprint at the end of a long breakaway that begun after 10km.

No changes in the overall standing that is still led by Cobo.
"I'm satisfied for having completed an interesting breakaway in the best way - Gavazzi commented - In the attack there were some riders that could be competitive on the climbs, especially Paulinho and Rodriguez, but I had no problem and, managing my energies, I could still have energies for the final part of the stage. I knew I was the fastest but, when Vandewalle attacked at 2 km to go, I decided to follow him since I understood that the other riders were tired. It was a good move and then I perform a perfect sprint that gave me the victory: this success gives an extra value to a beautiful season of my team".
Sport directors Maini and Vicino, who were very skilful in managing the good fit of Gavazzi, were satisfied too: "We knew that Gavazzi was pedaling in a powerful way so we asked him to try to join the breakaway: he did it in the best way, giving the team the victory".
