| The party at the finish | share this photo |
 |
| The finish was at the Kronplatz ski resort | share this photo |
 |
| Stafano Garzelli was out to make up for his Zoncolan performance two days ago (or did he sandbag Zoncolan) | share this photo |
 |
| Garzelli handled the 24% better than anyone else | share this photo |
 |
| Garzelli set a time that no one came close to matching. 12.8 km in 41:28 (18.5 km/h) ... but one minute slower than Franco Pellizoti's time from 2008. Hmm... | share this photo |
 |
| With the start of the Maglia Rosa, David Arroyo (Caisse d'Epargne), all the GC contenders are now on the course | share this photo |
 |
| With his performance on Monte Zoncolan two days ago and his 4th place finish today, no one can say Vincenzo Nibali isn't good on the steep stuff | share this photo |
 |
| Ivan Basso out to make up more time. He finished 6th +1:00. | share this photo |
 |
| Security keeping the fans at bay | share this photo |
 |
| Cadel Evans' turn against the 24% | share this photo |
 |
| Evans posted the second best time (+0:42) to continue his move up the General Classicification. He's now 4th overall +3:07. | share this photo |
 |
| The former Pink (now White) Jersey wearer, Richie Porte, refuses to go away. He finished out of the top 10 but he sits 3rd on GC + 2:36. | share this photo |
 |
| David Arroyo (Caisse d'Epargne) was also out of the top 10 finishing 16th +2:16 (one position ahead of Porte), but he is still pretty in Pink | share this photo |
 |
| Your mountain time trial winner, Stefano Garzelli | share this photo |
 |
| The new King of Kronplatz | share this photo |
 |
| Caisse d'Epargne's David Arroyo receives his new Pink Jersey from fellow Spaniard, Fernando Alonso | share this photo |

 |
| Still admiring the somewhat hideous looking winner's crown | share this photo |
