Giro d'Italia half-way point.

This is a large cycling tour around Italy which is sadly not showing on Sky TV despite the fact they have a team in the race.
The two Kiwi's are still hanging in and no doubt doing their job well for the teams the ride for.
Greg Henderson is placed at 81st place and Julian Dean in 137th. 157 riders remain in the race.
At the end of stage 15 Ivan Basso was the winner on the day and the Tour leader is Cadel Evans.
Ivan Basso has made an amazing come back to cycling after being caught up in a drugs saga and being banned. It was his day and he broke away to win convincingly.
