Exactly one week ago, defending Tour de France champion Carlos Sastre (Cervelo Test Team) told Cyclingnews that he was a man "that can decide in the moment". After 230 kilometres and close to seven hours in the saddle, that moment happened Monday during the sixteenth stage of the Centenary Giro d'Italia.
"大約一周前,準備衛冕環法冠軍的Carlos Sastre (Cervelo Test Team車隊)告訴cyclingnews,說他將是「決定重要時刻」的那個人。果然在接近7個小時的230公里時,這個時刻在周一的環義大賽第16站發生了"
"I wanted to take this opportunity. It was a very long stage, very difficult for the legs. Menchov was pedalling well; Basso seems to be good, Di Luca was also aggressive and combative. I took this opportunity to take as much time as possible."
