Uran all smiles after a good day on the climb to Montecampione

Rigoberto Uran (Omega Pharma-QuickStep) was not happy after a bad day on the stage to Oropa but was all smiles and happy during the race leader's press conference at the summit of Montecampione. He had extended his lead on nearest rival Cadel Evans (BMC) to more than a minute and showed that he has the climbing ability to keep all his rivals in check and retain the maglia rosa beyond the third rest day.
