Flat rated stage, hilly profile
The break went clear but split up on the climb. Sokolov and Mehr-Wenige crosses first, just ahead of Sestili. With Trusov, Sys, De Gendt and Wyss also ahead of the peleton, but all riding solo
Sestili links up with the front 2 but they never really stand much chance. Theyre close to being caught by the intermediate sprint which Di Luca, Bennati, Ponzi, Salerno and a few others took interest in
Di Luca and Bennati were temporarily with the break before dropping back
The break are caught by the 2nd categorised climb and for most of it we only see the dropping of weaker riders before Rujano attacks with 1km to the top
He cant take the full pts though, only 3rd, as Cataldo edges out Sella
And Sella presses on into the lead
His lead peaks at 50 seconds but he is not so suited to the flat roads and is caught with 9km to go
Theres a small hill now between them and the finish and on it Vastaranta hits the front with Ballan, Bellis and Pozzovivvo following
They start to pull out a gap as Morabito tries to catch them
But the stage looks set to be between the front 4 as they hit the descent
Vastaranta leads out with teammate Ballan surely the favourite now
Ballan should go now but doesnt seem to be as Pozzovivvo and Bellis come through
Ballan has completely messed this up and so now it is Bellis v Pozzovivvo
Its very close but the stage goes to Jonathan Bellis!
A 3rd 2nd place in this race for Pozzovivvo but he does gain a bit of time on his rivals, while Vastaranta takes 3rd, still ahead of Ballan
5th goes to Ricco, 23 seconds behind - meaning Pozzovivvo will gain 35 with time bonuses. Bakelandts 6th ahead of Morabito, Di Luca, Contador and Barredo
Farkad Mohammad was so far behind that he was forced to abandon the race with 2.5km still to go. He was due to finish at over 50 minutes and infact the time limit was implemented at around 26 minutes. This is bad news for 24 other riders - they thought they had finished but no, they are now out of the race.
