Saturday, March 2, 2013: 188 km. Gaiole in Chianti - Siena.

The Race: Moreno Moser and his Cannondale team could not have executed a better race. A group of four was a few minutes off the front with a relentless but tiring Juan Antonio Flecha chasing. About 17 kilometers from the finish Moreno Moser bolted from a 20-odd lead chasing group. He passed Flecha and latched onto the break. Once in the finish city of Siena he jumped again on a steep hill and rode alone to the finish. Back in the chasing group, Moser's teammate Peter Sagan neutralized Fabian Cancellara then took second place for a Cannondale 1-2.

The break that made things happen: Maxim Belkov, Michael Schär and Ermeti Giairo. Aleksejs Saramontins is hidden behind Schär.

Juan Antonio Flecha chased the quartet alone for a long time.

Moreno Moser rode a brilliant race. He left the chase group with Sagan and Cancellara, caught and dropped Flecha and, in the final climb in Siena, dropped the riders from the early break.

Peter Sagan at the front of the chase group. With teammate Moser off the front, Sagan neutralized Fabian Cancellara (behind Sagan in Radio Shack kit).

Moerno Moser enjoys his well-earned victory. He is the Strade Bianche's first Italian winner.
