• Simone Bertoletti (Lampre-Daikin) feels the same way
• Listen Denis, the story goes like this... Simone Bertoletti (Lampre-Daikin) gives his version of why he hasn't had the success of Armstrong to Domenico Gualdi (Formaggi Trentini)
• Daniele Castellan (Formaggi Trentini) emanates the look of your typical brooding Italian
• Davide Bramati (Mapei-Quick Step) sports an unusual facial addition
• Mariano Piccoli and Manuel Quinziato (Lampre-Daikin) lap up the night time aura that surrounds the town of South Tyrol
• Massimo Strazzer (Phonak-Hearing Systems) looks particularly disinterested in what's going on around him
• Marco Serpellini (Lampre-Daikin) appears to be in a jovial mood
• Mariano Piccoli (Lampre Daikin) tries to look cool, but the helmet does him an injustice
• Mariano Piccoli (Lampre Daikin) puts his hand up for the ride in the team car, but no such luck
• Silvio Martinello (Pinarello-Telenordest) looks like he's seen a ghost

• Cristian Moreni (Alessio) and Davide Bramati (Mapei-QuickStep) accept some massive beer jugs after coming third in the two-man TT, but probably prefer some amber fluid to go along with them
• Paolo Savoldelli (Index Alexia) pretty in pink as winner of the points race
• Rubens Bertogliati (Lampre-Daikin) and Silvio Martinello (Pinarello Telenordest) both seem to have trouble with opening their champagne bottles
• Doubly satisfying - Manuel Quinziato and Mariano Piccoli (Lampre-Daikin) won both the two-man TT and the omnium.
