So the break stays away, despite Team Lpr's best efforts, and Simon Gerrans wins solo from about 1.5km out on the finishing climb. In the chasing field, there was a slight time gap: a last-second acceleration by Pellizotti and Di Luca causes a 3" gap for Levi Leipheimer and Ivan Basso. Menchov stuck on Di Luca. Beautiful stage finish, fitting of one of Italy's great one-day races.
