Although the 164 km route from Civitanova Marche to San Benedetto del Tronto was largely flat and therefore unlikely to allow any changes in the GC, Tuesday’s final stage was anything but typical.

Stefano Garzelli (Acqua & Sapone) used time bonuses on the final stage to erase his two second deficit to overnight leader Michele Scarponi (Androni Giocattoli). Garzelli and Scarponi finished tied on time, but stage placings gave the overall victory to Garzelli for his first career Tirreno-Adriatico victory and his first win in two years. Australia’s Cadel Evans (BMC Racing) rounded out the GC podium, some 12 seconds behind Garzelli.

For the stage, Edvald Boasson Hagen (Sky) won the bunch sprint, besting Alessandro Petacchi (Lampre) and Sacha Modolo (Colnago – CSF Inox) in San Benedetto del Tronto.

Biel Kadri (Ag2R La Mondiale), started the day with purpose, and spent 100 km in a solo break. He was finally swept up by the peloton on the first of the 7 finishing circuits that wrapped up this year’s race, just as the teams of the sprinters took control in preparation for the anticipated bunch finish. It was also during these laps that Garzelli was able to make up the necessary time on Scarponi.

The final stage provided three opportunities to win time bonuses: two intermediate sprints on the finishing circuits, coming at 40km to go and 20km to go, plus the finish of the stage. The intermediate sprints awarded 3, 2, and 1 second bonuses respectively for the top three while the finish offered 10, 6, and 4 second bonuses.

At the first intermediate sprint, Scarponi’s teammate Francesco Ginanni won ahead of Jose Joaquin Rojas Gil (Caisse d’Epargne) and Garzelli. The one second bonus earned by Garzelli reduced his general classification deficit to Scarponi to a single second.

At the second intermediate sprint with 20km to go the Acqua & Sapone and Androni Giocattoli teams went head-to-head in the dash to the line knowing that the race leadership was at stake. Scarponi’s teammates Ginanni and Jackson Rodriguez took the top two spots but once again Garzelli finished third, erasing his one second general classification deficit to Scarponi and moving him into a tie on overall time.

Based on stage placings, Garzelli became the virtual leader on the road. As Saxo Bank and then Sky ramped up the pace for their sprinters, Scarponi had no chance to reclaim the race lead by either breaking away or earning time bonuses at the finish.
