Fabian Cancellara

Stage winner Fabian Cancellara

The Race: Though 33 years old now, Fabian Cancellara remains one of the world's most formidable riders against the clock and he proved it today at Torreno-Adriatico's final stage, a 10 km individual time trial. At the first stage time trial, he lost to Adriano Malori by a single second. Today, showing that the two riders are very close in time-trialing ability, Cancellara beat Malori by just four seconds. That win shows the rider nicknamed "Spartacus" is in superb condition for the coming classics.

GC leader Nairo Quintana finished 55th today, 55 seconds slower that Cancellara. This was still fast enough to give him the overall win, 18 seconds ahead of GC second-place rider Bauke Mollema.

Peter Sagan win stage 6

Peter Sagan wins stage 6

The Race: Another day of tough weather for the Tirreno-Adriatico peloton. Yesterday it was snow, today it was hard rain.

But the rain didn't tamp down the ambitions of the first riders to escape the pack. While the stage was still very young Alessandro Vanotti, Stijn Devolder and Yukiya Arashiro took off.

About 130 kilometers into the stage the pack ran into a serious obstacle, the ascent of the Montelparo. There, serious heat was thrown and the result was a badly fractured peloton. Also, soon after the break was caught.

Others tried to get away, but the small front group captured them all, setting things up for a sprint. Peter Sagan finally harvested the fruit of his superb form when he convincingly won the stage. This is Sagan's first race win of the year.

Nairo Quintana preserved his overall race lead with one stage to go.

Nario Quintana wins stage 5

Nairo Quintana wins stage 5 in dreadful weather

The Race: Nairo Quintana earned his stage win and GC lead today. Today's stage was lumpy with a final serious ascent to Terminillo.

A break of eight escaped while the stage was young and eventually built a lead of more than seven minutes. They would not be allowed a free ride to the finish, however, and most of their lead was gone by the time the Terminillo climb began.

The already-reduced pack quickly was quickly shredded as the road turned skyward. As the snow began to fall, Quintana decided to take matters into his own hands and not let Sky and Tinkoff-Saxo dictate the terms of the race.

With five kilometers remaining, Quintana looked around and then bolted. There was nothing the rest of the small group of leaders could do. Alberto Contador gave it a shot, but he could not get clear, and with several others, barely came within a minute of Quintana by the time they crossed the finish line.

Quintana's excellent ride not only gave him the stage win, he is the GC leader as well, with a 39-second lead over second-place Bauke Mollema.

Wouter Poels

Wouter Poels on his solo break to win the stage and take the GC lead

The Race: Today was a lumpy stage, perfect for adventurers to seek their fortune. The first to try were a pair of Orica-GreenEdge riders, Matthew Hayman and Luke Durbridge. The duo built a good lead as others tried, but failed to get up to them.

But, the day's relentless climbing eventually did in the pair. They were caught with about 20 kilometers to go.

Over the Crispiero, the next-to-last ascent, another small group tried its luck, to no avail.

Near the finish, the race went over the Crispiero again, and at the top Wouter Poels blasted off, gaining a small lead. It was a big enough lead to not only win the stage, but to take the overall lead.

Stage 3 finish

Greg van Avermaet wins stage 3

The Race: Today's mildly lumpy stage saw five riders, including Rick Flens and Danilo Wyss, leave the pack early and build a healthy gap of more than four minutes.

But the pack, as usual, was having none of it, especially Tinkoff-Saxo, and had most of them back in the fold with about twenty kilometers to go, and the last riders captured 10 kilometers later.

That meant a big sprint finish and right now BMC's Greg van Avermaet is enjoying sparkling form. He did not disappoint, winning the stage with a long effort, ahead of Zdenek Stybar and Peter Sagan.

Van Avermaet's stage win means he also becomes the overall leader.

Stage 2 finish

Jens Debusschere wins stage 2

The Race: In the stage's opening kilometers a seven-man group made good their escape, eventually building a six-minute lead on the peloton. But the sprinters weren't going to let this flat stage get away and their teams began a systematic chase.

All the riders were brought back to the field during the stage's finishing lap, setting things up for a big sprint.

But...several crashes in the closing kilometers marred the stage, one coming in the final meters when Elia Viviani and Mark Cavendish made contact. Cavendish stayed upright, but Viviani and several others hit the ground. Since they were close to the finish, they were given the same time as the group they were in.

Belgian road champ Jens Debusschere won the stage while Adriano Malori retained the overall lead.

Adriano Malori

Adriano Malori racing to his stage win

The Race: The organizers' original plan for the opening stage was a 23-kilometer team time trial. But, recent violent weather had sufficiently damaged the roads that were to be used to force a course change. The result was a 5.4 kilometer individual time trial.

Movistar rider Adriano Marlori rode the short out-and-back course in 6 minutes 4 seconds before several of the heavy hitters did their rides. Even big, powerful Fabian Cancellara couldn't beat Malori's mark, coming within just one second of the winning time.

Vincenzo Nibali and Peter Sagan both did reasonably well, riding just 6 and 11 seconds slower, respectively, than Malori.

The surprise was Alberto Contador, who came in 67th, 19 seconds behind Malori.
