Three and a half laps of this hilly circuit are much harder than the flat rating makes out. Moreno (ICV) is the obvious favourite, with Dall'Antonia (MCC) and Duque (KBG) hoping to justify their trip to northern Italy. Most teams will probably hope to take in easy after yesterday.
Off we go
As we approach the finish line for the first time three riders have built up a 3 minute advantage: Tiernan-Locke (BVP) Nel (MTN) and Chacon (ICV)
Over the fist climb it's Nel who takes the points in front of Chacon and T-L
The order is the same at the first sprint.
Nel takes the second climb as well, but Tiernan-Locke manages to get second. DBG and Barca are now chasing, 6 minutes back with 80km to go.
Tiernan-Locke keeps improving, taking the final sprint. Chacon is second.
Chacon takes the final climb, ahead of Tiernan-Locke. The gap is now 2'50" with 36km to go, so the break should be caught.
No one wants the help Bartl (FCB) and Pirazzi (MCC) meaning the gap is not falling fast. It is still 1'37" with 21km to go.
With 15km to go Bartl has to give up the chase. Pirazzi is strong yet, and the gap is down to 45" under the 10km banner.
The small climb accounts for Pirazzi, but also ensures that the break are done with just 5km to ride. Now it's all about positioning before the final rise to the line.
Alafaci (MCC) pulls Dall'Antonia perfectly forwards with 4km to go, Duque IKBG) and Moreno (ICV) are following as well. On the left Barca have set up Lequatre, who is followed by Da Dalto (KEN) and Moren (VTF)
Dall'Antonia attempts to sprint from 2.9km to go. It feels like he is just setting up his rivals in his slipstream.
He flies past the Barca chain.
With 2km to go Moreno pulls out into the wind. Duque is still waiting.
Moreno moves into the lead.
Duque tries to make a move, as Da Dalto comes through into 4th.
Carrara is in second with 800m to go, surely Moreno is exhausted now.
Moreno is holding on, with the line in sight.
And Moreno takes the victory, jumping up to third overall.
Da Dalto gets second, ahead of Carrara, Moren and Duque
The only other change is that Moreno takes the points jersey of Mora. He should hold that to the line, barring a crash.
