 Emanuele Sella of CSF Group – Navigare won three stages in the race 's final week and took a convincing victory in the mountains classification , leading it for the entire race .

Daniele Bennati was nearly as dominant in winning the points classification , taking three stage wins and six other top @-@ ten finishes . He led the classification after every stage except the second and eighth , which were both won by Riccò , who thereby gained the mauve jersey for one day on two separate occasions . Though Riccò was never able to take the overall race lead , he was the winner of the youth classification , taking the white jersey from Visconti when he lost the overall lead and holding it through the conclusion of the race . That jersey had also previously passed over the shoulders of Chris Anker Sørensen and Morris <unk> .
