Flat stage, but those hills near the end could cause havoc amongst the sprinters.
Posthuma is in the maglia rosa, in a jersey not too dissimilar from the one he usually wears
There was a tricky flooded section on the route early on for the riders to get through:
And after much attacking, chasing and general hard work, we have a breakaway of 10 riders
In no particular order: Da Dalto, Cumming, Wherry, Sestili, Jeandesbosz, Kroon, Sys, Champion, De Jongh and Kittel
Just inside 50km to go Laidler, Stannard and Bouet attacked the peleton, with Bouet being the strongest and only one to catch the 10 leading breakaway riders
With 28km to go the 11 are onto Climb 1 of 3, and look to attack each other
The result is that Karsten Kroon takes a solo lead, and the rest are to be caught by the peleton
Kroon is to be caught aswell - just before the top of the 2nd climb, the only KoM rated one - as Jose Rujano attacks past to take the first Mountains jersey of the race
With 5km to go we are preparing for the bunch sprint with Marinangeli leading Bennati and Ponzi leading Trusov - but we are also onto the 3rd and final hill
The sprint trains are swamped by a host of riders coming forward, Dimitri Claeys riding on the front here
But Bennati is lurking dangerously in around 6th position as the sprint begins
He moves into the lead, ahead of Sella, Devolder, Ardila and Coenen
And charging away he goes
Its looking very good for La Gazetta with Cunego going strong on the left and Marinangeli moving through on the right - with Ricco and Bertagnolli also up there
Daniele Bennati wins the stage, and with it the race lead!
Bertagnolli wins the battle for 2nd, just ahead of Cunego, Ricco, Marinangeli and Pellizotti
