After a thrilling mass sprint finish, Daniele Bennati (Liquigas) has won the 9th stage of the Giro d’Italia. Todays stage started with 181 riders in Civitavecchia and finshed after 218 kilometres in San Vincenzo. The twenty-seven year old Tuscan rider  thus obtains his second stage victory in the 2008 Giro, triumphing over Paolo Bettini (Quick Step) who was closing in fast from behind. Third was Robbie McEwen (Silence-Lotto) and fourth German veteran Erik Zabel (Milram). Giovanni Visconti (Quick Step) defended his overall lead in a stage were there were no noteworthy variations in the General Classification.
 
Krivtsov tore off immediately after the start, bringing Buffaz with him. The two soon came to an agreement for the breakaway and the peloton decided to let the two men go. The two escapees averaged speeds of around 38 km/h, opening up a gap of 8 minutes after 130 kilometres. With 30 kilometres to go, Filippo Savini (CSF) fell into a ditch, and despite a valorous attempt to remount the man from Romagna was forced to abandone the race.
 
With 15 kilometres to go, Emanuele Sella attacked on the final San Carlo climb, got in behind the race leaders in order to grab the only point left for the mountain classification. Paolo Bettini and Ricardo Riccò didn' trust Sella's move and jumped with him in order to control Sella. The peloton closed in and the stage headed towards its expected mass sprint finish.
 
Paolo Bettini said: "Daniele was excellent. I’m not a natural sprinter, but I still somehow manage to reach the finish line along with the fastest of them. Second again. Fate has it that I can’t win with this jersey on."
 
Stage winner Daniele Bennati said he didn't know he had won: "It was a mad sprint. I ran enormous risks and was sure Paolo had won, if only because he seemed certain of it once we’d crossed the line," admitted Bennati, following his second stage victory. "Then Auro Bulbarelli (an Italian national TV reporter, editor) told me that it was me who had in fact prevailed."
 
Immediaely after the race Bettini was critisized for opening the mass sprint to early. Bettini said that wasnt the reason he lost the stage. "Riccò came in behind me, and he did right, because in this way we immediately held back. It would have been tantamount to suicide if two or three of us had broken away," continued Bettini, "though I was hoping to rouse a larger group into splitting off." Overall leader Giovanni Visconti rounds off the Tuscan carnival: "This is my adopted land and to cross it in the pink jersey is like a dream come true. On Tuesday the Astana team riders, especially Leipheimer, will no doubt do a great time trial. But I still think I can hold on to the jersey for a while yet."
 
On Monday the riders will enjoy their first rest day, taking up again on Tuesday with the 10th stage, the 39.4 kilometres long individual time trail from Pesaro-to Urbino, a vital test for the race favourites. The first 20 kilometres are flat, while the second section begins with the Colbordolo climb (4.6 kilometres, 6.3% gradient) and proceeds along a number of unrelenting climbs and descents. The last kilometre is over the cobblestones of the medieval town of Urbino and is once again uphill, some stretches reaching gradients of 13%.
