While riding the trainer last night I watched Stage 14 of the 2006 Giro.  It was a very boring stage with an eleven man breakaway that CSC had no interest in chasing because there were no GC threats.  No other team was interested in chasing either.  Ultimately, the breakaway group finished about 8 minutes ahead of the peloton.
 
With five kilometers to go Francisco Perez attacked.  He was followed by Luis Laverde.  They managed to hold off their fellow breakway companions.  Perez led out the sprint and Laverde came around him, as expected, for the win.
 
Why do I mention this?  I am reading the live ticker of today's Stage 5 of the Giro and who is in the breakaway with 100km to go and a 9 minute lead?  Luis Laverde and Francisco Perez.  I doubt the peloton will let them stay away today.
