In theory this is a day made for breakaways - but will that be the case?
7 riders made the break: Moinard, Brandt, Salerno, Konovalovas, Kreuziger, Sastre and Deignan
But perhaps its not a day for the break? A fast pace in the bunch comes from Leonardo Bertagnolli and approaching the hillier finale with 20km to go, the gap to the break is just 3 minutes
Attacks come in from the break and with 16km to go Moinard has gone clear
Its Marzano now setting pace on the front, not yet given up on his hopes for a Top 10
Into the descent of this hill, 10km left and Cunego and Pellizotti are right on front - and the pack is really spread out
And theres a split! Sella and Contador are amongst those on the wrong side
Cunego and Pellizotti are up there in the first group and as they catch the break (apart from Moinard, who still leads), we can see that Bellis, Claeys, Davis, Phinney, Vastaranta, Marzano, Bertagnolli, Nocentini, Keinath and Pozzovivvo are with them
Claeys moves forward on the descent - but Moinard still holds a minutes lead with 6km to go
He is pushing hard, looking for Stage#3, but Moinard is not going to give in
And into the final kilometre, Moinard is holding on
Claeys is riding to 2nd as the Wiggles lead the sprint from the Cunego/Pellizotti group
Moinard wins the stage!
Theres been a crash in the Sella/Ricco chase group - Igor Anton is down! Also a B&O rider who I think is Hacecky
Back up front, Claeys ran out of gas so it is Nocentini who take 2nd, ahead of Cunego and Pellizotti
This group gets the same time as Moinard - had the stage been 500m longer than Nocentini may have won the stage. But what of the next group? Finishing at 1'21 is the group including Sella, Ricco, Di Luca, Karpets, Rujano, Devolder and Contador - weirdly, it is led in by Rogers.
This puts Pellizotti back up to 2nd overall, Sella down to 3rd and Pozzovivvo is now much closer to 4th placed Ricco
Anton's group is at 2'52 to Moinard, and although there are no eliminations, 29th overall Jose Chacon is forced to abandon due to a crash
