Norwegian power-house Thor Hushovd (Crédit Agricole) won in a sprint to Civitanova Marche after 219K, beating Italian Petacchi and Spaniard Freire. It was the first win of the season for the 28 year-old, and in front of some impressive company. The leader's yellow-red jersey still remains with Oscar Freire (Rabobank) after yesterday's impressive stage win.

188 riders departed from Paglieta, the site of yesterday's Freire win. Ahead was a fairly gentile course, with the climbs coming towards the end, but nothing major. Starting at 17K there was the day's main escape to form containing: Andy Flickinger (Bouygues Telecom), Christophe Mengin (Française Des Jeux), René Haselbacher (Gerolsteiner), Elio Aggiano (Team LPR), Andreas Klier (T-Mobile), plus (2K later) Michael Barry (Discovery Channel), Salvatore Commesso (Lampre-Fondital), Rubén Pérez (Euskaltel-Euskadi) and José Joaquín Rojas (Liberty Seguros-Würth).

Milram led the charge from behind so that the escape would not get too much time. By 110K they had around 2'00" and had ridded the weak, specifically: Barry, Pérez and Klier. Most of the work was being done by the escapees to ensure freedom over the day's only GPM, the S. Elpidio a Mare at 195K. José Joaquín Rojas was able to fight off the charging peloton and gain the 11 points over the top.

All that was left was a downhill run to Civitanova Marche, with the teams of Milram and Rabobank controlling the pace to ensure a sprint. Juan Antonio Flecha (Rabobank) and Gabriele Balducci (Acqua & Sapone) had a dig at -10K, but it came to nothing. Then came Joseba Albizu (Euskaltel-Euskadi) at -3K, but again nothing. Finally, it was the storm into the finish on completely flat roads. Just like in stages 1 and 2, the il Treno Milram was taken advantage of, this time it was big green Norwegian Thor Hushovd. He bolted to the line ahead of Petacchi and Freire for his first season win.

Tomorrow will be a change for the riders: they will take to their TT rigs and set out on a 20K course around Servigliano. We might see the GC lead change hands, as Freire is not renowned for being the best crono-man. Stay tuned.
