Stage 3 is a horrid-looking circuit race in and around Fucecchio, near Empoli in the Arno Valley. There are no wrinkles to this stage; it's practically legislated to end in a sprint. If a break starts looking threatening, the race director's car might go check in on them, and mysteriously lose control at an inopportune time. But hey, if the breaking riders didn't read the morning memo, that's their fault. Enjoy! [After Paris-Nice.]

Woo-hoo!

First news from today, posted in cn's PN live ticker:
Three riders are clear in the 166-kilometres stage from Fucecchio to Santa Croce sull’Arno. William Frischkorn (Garmin-Slipstream), Yuriy Krivtsov (AG2R La Mondiale) and Lieuwe Westra (Vacansoleil) gained up to 5:30 on the peloton, but now the gap is down to about half of that.
Today will be the last chance for the sprinters until the last stage, the next three stages are tough: two mountain stages and one time trial.
Current situation
* Romain Feillu (Agritubel), Mickaël Delage (Silence-Lotto), Alan Perez and Javier Aramendia (Euskaltel-Euskadi), Niki Terpstra (Team Milram), Cyril Lemoine (Skil-Shimano), Christophe Riblon (AG2R La Mondiale) and Sébastien Turgot (BBox Bouygues Telecom)
* Peloton at 1:55

Tirreno-Adriatico update: Julien El Farès’ Cofidis team leads the chase of the three riders, William Frischkorn (Garmin-Slipstream), Yuriy Krivtsov (AG2R La Mondiale) and Lieuwe Westra (Vacansoleil).
RAI is supposed to go live in about 5 minutes, as is the Radsport live ticker. But I don’t expect I (or many of us) will be over here until PN ends today.

Anyone got a quick URL?

Thanks, but I'm just getting an empty box.
Maybe blocked, as I’m at work. (Guess I should be working, but I’ve got my priorities set!)

What the.....?
What on earth is the world coming to? Farrar beat Cav!!!!!!! What happened to Benna? He wasn’t in the finale at all.
Yeah, I could see any lime green within a mile of the finish!
Perhaps he’s a bit sore after his fall yesterday and didn’t want to risk it….
yeah
when I saw the yellow out at the front, thought that as usual no one was going to beat Cav when he’s in the right position…
good overhead just then on gazzetta
think Cav almost went too early to get up to the front (but then again, usually he can manage that) . again, think mcewen picked the wrong wheel… cervelo train for thor followed by boonen followed by mcewen but none of those were in the top 3
Bellisimo!
What a fabulous win for Farrar. Petacchi went too early, maybe nervous about Cavendish, and Farrar stole the show from them both. Lovely turn of speed from the American.
Wow
that was a pretty awesome finish. Thor had a perfect leadout, starting about three km out. Rollin takes over at the flame rouge, then Cervelo’s last leadout guy pulled off unexpectedly, and Thor wasn’t ready. Then all hell breaks loose, Cav coming up on the right. And farrar looked like he came around him from about 100m out. Very impressive.
watching the replay again. Farrar was on Cav’s wheel from at least the flame rouge. Nice work.

Is there any place to watch today's finish?

Damn and the bossman put a youtubie right on the front.
It’s been a long week…….
