The women raced 137 km and Baccaille (GS Fiamme Azzurre) won in sprint over Alessandra D'Ettorre (GS Forestale) and Lorena Foresi (Safi Pasta Zara). Video, in Italian:
Visconti (ISD Neri Giambenini) won going away after 259.6 km ahead of Ivan Santaromita (Liquigas-Doimo) and Alessandro Ballan (BMC Racing Team); he had enough time to celebrate before the finish line by grabbing an Italian flag from a spectator.
