The road
How it was won
- 93 km to go
Three BMC riders and a red jersey
Rather than contest the Novara sprint, BMC send three men clear so Philippe Gilbert can take the full points uncontested. Only Richeze is quick enough to go with them.
- At the line
Keisse outfoxes Milan
Keisse and Durbridge slip away on the narrow roads after the first passage of the line, take forty seconds, and the sprinters' teams never quite agree on how to close it. Durbridge has to lead out; the six-day man comes over the top of him. Behind, Alberto Contador rolls in to win the Giro d'Italia.
