Gambling Long
A large group of eleven riders formed the early break away of the day. It was a move that was more than the average long shot. This group including, Stefano Pirazzi (Bardiani CSF), Marco Frapporti (Androni Giocattoli), Serge Pauwels (MTN-Qhubeka) among others, have another 100 kilometers to attempt to thwart the desires of the sprinters. The course doesn't have enough sharp climbs to shed the sprinters, nor hide the break away from the peloton.
