Gli altri ciclisti

Just in case you were wondering (and I know you were), my Giro favorite, Italian Ivan Basso, is also riding the Tour with an eye on the podium (he got 3rd in last year's Tour). Why do I mention this? It's a good excuse to post a couple pictures of him from the past few days' stages. (Both of these pictures are from this site - while this gal doesn't necessarily capture every moment of each stage, I really like the images she creates.)
