Italy's Enrico Rossi, brother of Riccardo Riccò's fiancee, took the first win of his second professional year by going long in the 5th Memorial Pantani. The 26 year-old NGC Medical-OTC Industria Porte rider escaped after 25 kilometres of the 172.1-kilometre race with compatriot Luca Celli (LPR Brakes).

Rossi and Celli worked to gain a maximum advantage of 8'05" over the peloton by kilometre 96. While his partner was unable to make it to the finish, Rossi kept clear of the charge led by Amstel Gold winner Damiano Cunego (Lampre). Ruslan Pidgornyy (LPR Brakes), Leonardo Bertagnolli (Liquigas) and Leonardo Giordani (Ceramica Flaminia-Bossini Docce) finished third through fifth, respectively.

The win added to Rossi's first professional win, which came last year with Tour de Slovénie stage five.
