45mins of highlights are supposed to appear on RaiSport 2 tonight at 22.30

Let's see if they materialise with this weather and the changes.

I got past the CN filter and read from the **** site:

Following the change of course after the start in San Vincenzo, by the Riva degli Etruschi Hotel, the group will move towards Bibbona along the Aurelia road, going round several times along a 28 km circuit that passes through the area of ​​Bolgheri . Then will follow the final 5 laps of the final circuit that will take the riders to the finish line as usual in Donoratico. With this solution they're hoping to maintain, or however to be as close as possible to, the mileage of 194.6km published earlier.

Victory for Viviani over Modolo & Baggio

 

[Lexman]

Thanks for the updates!!

 

[El Pistolero]

Viviani, starting to like him

I rate him as the second fastest "young sprinter" now after Kittel.

 

[Zam_Olyas]

Viviani. Viviani.

Lampre on the front now for AleJet - break now visible to the pack. @1.45

What was the point? If he just gave up and did not bother the sprinting.

Selfish imo if you get your team to work you need to at least try

 

[jens_attacks]

something happened with the lampre train in the finish i think.

 

[Michele]

The live ticker spoke about Farnese Vini surprising Lampre with their team in the last km or so.
My guess is that they got closed or something like that, plus Petacchi's ego is very high and if he cant sprint well he just stop pedalling.

 

[Libertine Seguros]

Check out the LPR Brakes logo on the Utensilnord guy's shoulders.

Congrats to Viviani. Nice work by Modolo as well. I hope later on Pozzato caan do some of the Italian races.
