 With large amounts of rain, the peloton made a truce and the stage saw few attacks.A three-man breakaway formed with around twelve kilometers to go.The riders stayed together and all sprinted for the stage win, which was originally won by Roberto Pagnin; however, due to his non-linear sprint line that interfered with the two other riders, he was relegated to second place and the original second-place finisher, Emanuele Bombini, was promoted and declared winner.
