Laverde takes another big win

Luis Felipe Laverde of Ceramica Panaria-Navigare has taken another big win this season. The 28 year-old Colombian won from a small sprint in the 10th GP Nobili, adding to his previous win this year in stage six of the Giro d'Italia.

Trailing behind was compatriot Félix Rafael Cárdenas (Barloworld), Austrian Christian Pfannberger (Elk Haus-Simplon) and Swede Niklas Axelsson (Serramenti PVC Diquigiovanni-Selle Italia). Seconds later, the group was led by recent winner of the Giro del Lazio, Gabriele Bosisio (Tenax-Salmilano). Further back was a larger group containing riders such as Danilo Di Luca (Liquigas) and Stefano Garzelli (Acqua & Sapone).
