Just like in Frascati behind Robert Förster, Thor Hushovd finished second on the car circuit of Mugello, but it was the opposite scenario at the end. "The other day, there were five meters too much for me and today, with five more meters, I would have passed Petacchi, I think," he said after the finish, although he didn't know how strongly Danilo Napolitano was coming from behind after being boxed in. Had the finishing line been located five meters further, it might have been in favour of the Lampre sprinter as well.
