Andrea Tafi wins, twenty seconds clear - not the strongest rider of the leading group, but certainly the most hard-working, a beneficiary of good teamwork and the rivalry between the others. Nardello leads out the sprint for second but it is Museeuw who brings the rest in, gesturing in a somewhat irritated fashion, but that's teamwork ...

Cassani, Sørensen and Missaglia stay clear to pick up 6th to 8th, and Mario Cipollini leads in the bunch ahead of Eric Zabel to round out the top ten and maintain his lead in the World Cup.
