Garzelli's spurt, already at kilometre 40, with Simoni close behind, gives way to a novel alliance that enables the two, "protected" by Valjavec, to recover and overtake the first leaders of the day, including Illiano, Marzoli, Pugaci, Wegmann and Pozzi, later in difficulty.
Garzelli in the lead on the Vivione with Simoni, virtually second in the general ranking, objective also declared by the Saeco team car, Sella at 1'37'' and Cunego with Gonchar, always in the lead and pulling along the pink jersey group, behind at 1'56''.
Exciting finish: Garzelli's spurts can't shake Simoni, who moves into the lead on the Presolana, but heading to the finish line, he surrenders to his rival and is not even able to conquer second place in the general ranking.
