Italian time trial specialist Marzio Bruseghin (Lampre) was a surprise winner in today's 10th stage. He managed to hold off the Astana strong men by 8 seconds over Spain's Alberto Contador and 20 seconds over German Andreas Klöden. American Levi Leipheimer finished 9th, at 1:01, giving Astana 3 riders in the top 10 today. This is total domination!

Russian Denis Menchov (Rabobank) finally showed his good form today and gave notice that he is in contention as well. All of the pure climbers lost their customary couple of minutes except for Gilberto Simoni (Serramenti PVC Diquigiovanni). What's up with this guy? Isn't he suppose to be 50? He lost less than a minute to all of the contenders and is poised to shine once again in the high mountains.

As expected, the GC was shaken up today. Thanks to his long breakaway, Italian Giovanni Visconti (Quick Step) kept the pink jersey while Contador and Klöden moved up to 4th and 6th respectively.

If the riders were hoping for a respite tomorrow, they are not going to get one. Stage 11 will be a mountainous stage as it winds through and ends in Marco Pantani's hometown.
