The 147 kilometres long stage from Medrisio to Varese was a stage which stardted in the city which will host the 2009 World Championships and finished in the city which will host this years edition of the same event.

The German powerhouse from CSC, 36 years old, won the stage,it was his second victory this season, the 59th in his career and the first one at the Giro d'Italia, apart from being part of the CSC squad which won a team time trial in the 2006 edition of the Italian stage race. The first chasing group was 1:07 behind: Visconti, Nocentini and Bosisio. Slightly more than 2 minutes behind was a second chasing group, Bennati came in 5th, ahead of Paolo Bettini.

Alberto Contador, who finished with the bunch which was 7:51 behind stage winner Voigt defended the 'Maglia Rosa'. The 25-year winner of last years Tour de France of the Astana team still has a lead of 41 seconds on Riccò, 1:21 on Simoni, 2 minutes on Pellizotti, and 2:05 on Bruseghin. Cardenas, who was part of the breakaway group today, climbed a few places in the general classification: the Colombian from the Barloworld team is now 11th.
 
Immediately after the 146 riders took off the first attacks began. Paolo Bettini broke off. The current World Champion led a breakaway with another 11 racers: the group included riders like Bennati, Italian Road Champion Visconti, Nocentini, J. Rodriguez, Bosisio, Spilak, Ardila and Voigt. The latter attacked with 36 kilometres to go and was never seen again. Behind him Visconti, Bosisio and Nocentini started a counter attack. Rodriguez and Bettini tried to bridge up to the three chasers, but nothing could be done, and Voigt flew towards success.
 
The Giro continues tomorrow with the 229 kilometres long stage 19 from Legnano to Mount Pora. A very difficult mountain stage, especially the second part, with three mountains that the riders will have to climb. The Vivione Pass (19.8 km, 6.9% average slope), Presolana (4.8 km, 8.2%) and the fifth and final uphill finish of the race, for the first time in the history of the race on the Mount Pora (6.4 km, 6.8%).
