At 10.54 the Mayor of Teramo waved off the 185 riders left in the Tirreno-Adriatico. Two riders Strazzer and Schiavina did not start the stage due to illness. The race was active from the start with Laurent Jalabert prominent. At km 35, Jalabert, Loda and Vasseur had a lead of 24 seconds. This was as far as they got in front. Michele Bartoli's Mapei-Quick Step teammates were vigilant on the front aiming to protect his narrow margin at the top of the GC. At km 38, the Mapei riders ended the break started by Jalabert.

The first hour passed quickly with an average speed of 45.4 km/h.

The Mapei-Quick Step team was dominating at the front. Yet at km 58, 5 riders managed to slip away - Baldato, Fagnini, Ugrumov, Conte and Hoffman. Two Vini Caldirola-Sidermec riders - Vainsteins and Gianetti were chasing them and lingering between the top group and the peloton. At km 75 the 5 had a lead of 1.05 of the chasing pair and 2.50 on the peloton. By Adri, Vainsteins and Gianetti had joined with the leading 5 riders and the peloton was now down by around 4.00. The average speed after the second hour was 42.4 km/h. By km 95 the advantage was 4.12 and soon after at Roseto degli Abruzzi it was 4.32. The average speed after 3 hours was 43.9 km/h.

At Tortoreto, the first intermediate sprint of the day went to Vainsteins from Ugrumov, Hoffman then Baldato. The lead was down to 2.40 after some fast team riding back in the peloton.

With 20 kms to go the lead was down to 2.25. At the end of the first lap of the finishing circuit the second sprint (across the finishing line for the second time) went to Conte, Vainsteins, Hoffman and Gianetti. The gap was down to 2.00 but it was clear that the peloton had left the run too late. The sprint went to a photo finish with Vainsteins getting the nod ahead of Baldato and Fagnini. The time of 3.49.02 represented an average speed of 43.225 km/h. A fast day.
