Ale-Jet got his second win in Ravenna at the finish of a long day. Alessandro Petacchi jumped on Paride Grillo when the Ceramica Panaria rider came flying past the Fassa train in the last 300 meters. It was a long way out for Petacchi, but he was able to show a clean pair of wheels to the younger Grillo, and the rest of the peloton. It was 3rd for for Isaac Gálvez, 5th for Kirsipuu, and McEwen following in at 6th. Now it appears that Petacchi is coming back to the super-sprinter that the Giro knows.

It was a long day with not much excitement. The peloton climbed in mass up the Passo San Pellegrino, not stopping for sparkling water. At the top, little Rujano (Selle Italia-Colombia) got clear to get maximum points on the only mountain of the day. From their it was all downhill. The only break of the day came from Schnyder, yes of course the team Selle Italia-Colombia. Those Selle Italia-Colombia boys love the TV time of a good solo-break, making their sponsors happy. The blue and white rider got a max of 2'55" before he started to fade back to the slow moving gruppo. Schnyder day was over after 78K away and about an hour on live TV.
The pack entered Rovereto, but there was to be no Ale-Jet and McJet show down. McEwen sort of soft pedaled in, ending his Giro d'Italia, not wanting to contest the tough mountains ahead. For the Australian it is on to the Tour de France then the Worlds in Spain. Basso kept the maglia rosa, McEwen exits in Purple, and our Venezuelan friend got Italian kisses with his maglia verde. Tune in tomorrow for a much more exciting stage.
