The next attack came in the form of a two-man move from Jay Vine and Mauri Vansevenant. As they reached the summit of the final climb of the day, the Diolaguardia, Vansevenant was caught by the chase group behind, although it the UAE man Vine took maximum points and carried on solo into the final 10km. Into the last 5km and Vine was still around 18 seconds clear, with the Aussie's hopes of victory looking good. In the end there was no stopping Vine as he soloed all the way to the win ahead of Magnus Sheffield and
Simone Velasco from the chase group behind.
