Gestern hat er zum ersten Mal aufgeholt, 8 Sekunden auf Armstrong und noch mehr auf den Rest des Pelotons. Basso hat die erste schwere Bergetappe gewonnen! Es ist sein größter Erfolg als Radprofi. Aus "Basso, dieser talentierte Norditaliener, der immer gut mithält im Hochgebirge" wird "Der Tour de France-Etappensieger von 2004, Ivan Basso, sie wissen doch, der am Tourmalet gewonnen hat!"

"It was difficult for a lot of riders, but I had good legs and I just seized my chance," said Basso.

"I felt very good, and in any case I had to do well today because of all the good work my team had done for me," Basso said. "For me it was a fantastic day, the team protected me so well for 10 days. Bjarne doesn't put pressure on me and tells me just to keep calm and feel the race. Bjarne likes to decide in the race what we'll do."

"We sent Carlos up the road to try to win the stage and told Ivan to stay with Armstrong. If Carlos was caught, then Ivan could go with Lance to win the stage," said Team CSC manager Bjarne Riis. "We're very happy with the victory. It's the best victory for this team so far in the Tour because of the circumstances."
"This opens new horizons for the team. Now we can seriously think about finishing on the podium," Riis said. "We've been very patient with Ivan. We've been working with him and he's responded well to the training program and he's such a hard worker."
