Complete Stage 3 results, GC and photos

The Race: This was supposed to be a stage with a sprint finish and that's just what happened. During the first of twelve circuits, eighteen riders went clear. They were never allowed much freedom; 1 minute 32 seconds being their maximum gap before they were reeled in thirty kilometers from the finish.

During the stage it was Sky and Neri Sottoli who controlled things, but it was Cannondale that gave the perfect lead out, allowing Elia Viviani a clean win.

The final stage on Sunday is a 10 km individual time trial

Friday, March 28: Stage 2, Sant'Angelo di Gatteo - Sogliano al Rubicone, 163.8 km

Complete stage 2 results, GC and more photos

37.766 km/hr average speed

The Race: Sky has so far certainly owned this edition of Coppi-Bartali week.

50 kilometers into the race eight riders escaped:Davide Frattini (United Healthcare), Marco Frapporti (Androni-Venezuela), Jacques Janse Van Rensburg (Mtn-Qhubeka), Zico Waeytens (Topsport Vlaanderen), Alessandro Malaguti (Vini Fantini-Nippo), Andrea Vaccher (Marchiol Emisfero), Emanuel Kiserlovsky (Meridiana Kamen) and Matteo Busato (Mg Kvis-Trevigiani).

They were never allowed much rope by Sky, Bardiani-CSF and Cannondale and were finally caught. Twelve kilometers from the finish Peter Kennaugh and Francesco Bongiorno blasted away from the pack. Bongiorno, probably knowing Kennaugh would beat him in a sprint, twice tried to get away, but Kennaugh controlled his man. Indeed, Kennaugh finished well in front of Bongiorno to take the stage and the overall lead from teammate Ben Swift.

Thursday, March 27: Stage 1B, Gatteo 13.3 km team time trial (in 4-man squads)

Complete Stage 1B results and photos

The Race: This was not the normal type of team time trail. Each 8-man squad (if the team had eight men) was divided into 4-man teams (running a bit short of a complete roster, Merdiana Kamen B had just 2 riders).

Sky Team A with race leader Ben Swift, Dario Cataldo, Peter Kennaugh and Vasil Kiryienka unsurprisingly won the stage and firmed up Ben Swifts grip on the GC. RusVelo B with Sergey Lagutin and Sergei Pomoshnikov turned in a terrific ride, staying within a quarter-minute of the flying Brits (and one Italian).

Results:

1	SKY Team A	15min 30sec
2	RUSVELO Team B	@ 15 seconds

Thursday, March 27: Stage 1A, Gatteo - Gatteo, 99.5 km

Complete Stage 1A results, GC and more photos

The Race: The morning's half-stage was a loop starting and ending at Gatteo in north-east Italy. A hill split the peloton, leaving about 50 riders in the front group chasing a seven-man break. The seven breakaway riders were caught with less than 20 kilometers to go.

Ben Swift (third at Milano-San Remo on Sunday) won the sprint and the overall lead.

Stage 1B in the afternoon will be a team time trial with each team broken in two four-man squads.

Results: 42.942 km/hr
