There was a two-man break well in advance. The second rider here is the eventual stage winner Rolf Järmann of Ariostea. Not sure who the Banesto rider is, anyone know? I can see my brother in the crowd in the right, somewhat sadly since he died in a cycling accident in 1999. He's wearing the Cannondale top. He didn't have a Cannondale but the loose cut suited his fuller figure.


Secondly the GC group here being led by Claudio Chiappucci followed by Big Mig and Gianni Bugno.

No other photos readily to hand of this stage.
