After one week of racing in the Giro d'Italia, many are tired and Johannes Fröhlinger of Gerolsteiner reported in his diary for radsport-news.com that during stage nine many called out for riding piano and regulare. Indeed, only two riders were interested in jumping from the gun, with Yuriy Krivtsov (AG2R La Mondiale) taking off as soon as the neutral section was over and Mickaël Buffaz (Cofidis - Le Crédit par Téléphone) joining him shortly thereafter.
