The Giro continues northwards and returns to the Emilia-Romagna, with a finish in the seaside town of Cesenatico, which was Marco Pantani's hometown, having been born just down the road in Cesena, having lived there for much of his life. Cesenatico is also within driving distance of yet another pearl of medieval Italian beauty in the city of Forli, as well as to Rimini, possibly Italy's most popular seaside resort, and the place where il Pirata met his tragic end.
While there are some pretty steep looking lumps in close proximity to the finish I have my doubts it will be enough for every single fast man to be shelled before the finish line is reached. With Italy overjoyed with the first victory of the Giro I will tip Pozzato to send the trifosi into raptures and get a double victory for the Italian fans.
