Monte Paschi Eroica

Burghardt tried a knock-out and soon he had an advantage of more than 2 minutes

Behind him was made a 'chasing' group, where are Eisel and Hincapie. Though that are 4 there the AG2R riders are not working

And soon only three of them go after Burghardt: Paolini, Eeckhout and Hincapie

Burghardt is still hanging on in front but the others are coming fast

Though that Hincapie doesn't relay

Then big George makes an intersting move and the other 2 are about to crack

He caught Marcus, but too bad that Burghardt could keep it up with him

So a fantastic win for Hincapie

Burghardt manages to get the second place

While Eisel finishes fifth

Results
1. George Hincapie Team Columbia 5h33'00
2. Marcus Burghardt Team Columbia + 1'50
3. Luca Paolini Acqua e Sapone - Caffè Mokambo s.t.
4. Nico Eeckhout Team CSC - Saxo Bank s.t.
5. Bernhard Eisel Team Columbia + 2'43
6. Alexandre Pliuschin AG2R La Mondiale + 3'57
7. Janek Tombak Lampre + 4'29
8. Renaud Dion AG2R La Mondiale + 4'53
9. Jean-Charles Sénac AG2R La Mondiale + 5'19
10. Ralf Grabsch Team Milram s.t. |

Apparently Cav wasn't the only sprinter who couldn't hang on, because that does not really look like an everyday mass sprint, judging by the top 10. |
