| Rafael Illiano outsprinted Gasparotto... (© Sirotti) |
Fortunato Baliani (CSF) and Daniele Contrini (Tinkoff) coloured the stage with a long attack.
The decisive breakaway of the 203km stage was sparked by an attack by Riccardo Riccó (Saunier Duval) on the toughest climb
of the stage, 21km from the finish. Only five riders were able to follow Ricco: Rafaele Illiano, Niklas Axelsson (both Diquigiovanni),
Enrico Gasparotto (Barloworld), Eros Capecchi (both Saunier Duval) and Linus Gerdemann (Team High Road). The six
riders catched Baliani and Contrini before the summit of the Belvedere climb.
In the final kilometre Illiano attacked out of the breakaway group. Gasparotto showed he was on form by going with the
move and making sure it stayed clear of the chasers. He could have won the stage with his fast sprint but lost out to Illiano
who clearly deserved his win.
"In the last few kilometers I had cramp and that affected my sprint but I'm happy to
have the leader's jersey and now I'll try and keep it as long as possible," Gasparotto said.
Gasparotto was involved
in a crash 30km from the finish but was quickly brought back to the head of the race thanks to some excellent riding by his
Barloworld team mates.
"I'd promised to do well when I signed with Team Barloworld and I hope this is the first of
a long series of good results," Gasparotto said.
Gasparotto will wear the blue leader's jersey during Friday's
195km third stage from Gubbio to Montelupone.
