STAGE 7-  
177km, Rolling (saw-tooth) from San Salvo to Pescara:
Friday May 10, 2013
Dry at the start, rain last hour.

Many short climbs spread across the whole course today. Four categorized climbs in the last 50 km (2 cat.3’s and 2 cat 4’s).  First time Giro starting in Marina di San Salvo.
Some stats for the climbs:
Bucchianico (max 15%), Villamagna (KOM), Chieti-Pietragrossa (max 16% - KOM), Chieti-Tricalle (max 19% - Sprint), Santa Maria de Criptis (max 16% - KOM) and San Silvestro (max 14% - KOM).

Besides Leigh Howard (OGE) who broke his collarbone yesterday, Klaas Lodewyck (BMC) also Did Not Start today.
Mattia Cattaneo (Lampre-Merida) is also out of the race after a crash just 3km into the stage.
Taylor Phinney (BMC) is struggling with hay fever and admitted today will be a battle of survival for him.
Dario Cataldo (Team Sky) is one of several riders fighting a virus for the last few days.
Paolo Tiralongo (Astana) has been struggling with a knee injury, and now a fever.

To the action:
 
Taborre and Trentin trying to break free…
Wiggins bike change;
Thomas Damuseau (ARG) and Fabio Taborre (VIN) were together with Danilo Hondo (RadioShack) in a break group. Then Hondo and Damuseau crashed, and Taborre continued on alone, with a 26 second gap.
