Michael Boogerd (Rabobank) won Tuesday's seventh and hardest stage in a sprint from Davide Rebellin (Liquigas) and Francesco Casagrande (Fassa-Bortolo). Casagrande made his move 100m from the finish but Boogerd was able to chase him down for his fourth stage win of the season.

The stage finish in Ortezzano came after the steep 800m climb up the winding and badly paved road that leads to this hilltop town. With portions of 20 per cent gradient, this is a serious wall, and Boogerd compared it with the landmark climb of the Fleche Wallonne: "It's even harder than the Huy," he said.

The stage had earlier been livened up by a five rider break. Fagnini, Milesi, Mondini, Radaelli and Svorada escaped for 175km before being caught 3km from the finish.

Rebellin's second place gave him the necessary time bonuses to return him to the overall lead, albeit by the thinnest of margins: just two seconds separate Rabellin and Gabriele Colombo (Cantina Tollo). Tomorrow's 161km final stage presents no serious difficulties, however, and Rebellin seems confident of retaining the lead. "Tomorrow's an easy stage so I hope I can complete what should be a beautiful victory,'' he said.
