Riccardo Riccò (Saunier Duval-Prodir), following on the success of yesterday, won the 161 kilometre stage from Pievebovigliana to Offagna and took the leader's jersey in the process. The 23 year-old rider from Formigine finished ahead of Stefan Schumacher (Gerolsteiner) and Alexander Vinokourov (Astana), and put enough time into Russian Alexandr Arekeev (Acqua & Sapone-Caffè Mokambo) to move in to the general classification lead.

It will be tough for Riccò to defend his lead in tomorrow's 20.5 kilometre time trial in Civitanova Marche, but the following day to San Giacomo should give him a chance at winning the 42nd Tirreno-Adriatico, which concludes Tuesday afternoon.

World Champion Paolo Bettini (Quickstep-Innergetic) crashed again; today he came down at the foot of the last climb. The Italian was taken to the hospital for evaluation.

How it unfolded

Travelling further into the Le Marche region, with views of the Adriatic Sea, today was supposed to be the day for the opportunists. The stage seemed suited for a rider like Daniele Contrini (Tinkoff Credit Systems) to put in a long, successful attack. The rolling parcours lent itself to an escape group while the overall contenders could save their legs for the tomorrow's time test. The only non-starters were Pavel Padrnos (Discovery Channel) and Enrico Poitschke (Milram).

Heading to Offagna, there was only one mountain sprint, Filottrano (270m) at kilometre 94.6, but a whole slew of little hills that would weaken the legs, including the final rise to the finish line. Soon after the departure, there was one attack after another in attempt to form an escape group.

The peloton managed the attacks until they saw one go free that they were conformable with. The move came from Aitor Hernández (Euskaltel-Euskadi). The Basque rider went free at kilometre 67 and had built up a lead of 3'05" by kilometre 73. Meanwhile, back in the peloton, the jostling gave reason for Ivan Basso to abandon. He called it quits at kilometre 48 due to pains in his left wrist caused by yesterday's crash.

By the GPM the orange-clad Euskaltel rider 5'35" over a chasing Francesco Failli (Liquigas) and 7'25" over Salvatore Commesso (Tinkoff Credit Systems), who had broken off the peloton to grab more mountain points to add to his lead in that competition.

Director sportif Pietro Algeri commanded his Saunier Duval-Prodir squad to control affairs for its young leader, Riccò. The boys in yellow drove the pace to bring Hernández back to a comfortable margin. He held 3'42" at the intermediate sprint in Loreto (kilometre 127).

As Hernández neared the 30km to go mark, the Basque rider was suffering and even the views of the Adriatico Sea did not ease his pain. As his lead shrank smaller and smaller, the attacks started thick and fast from behind with 15km to go. Bettini, Gabriele Balducci (Acqua & Sapone-Caffè Mokambo) and Matteo Priamo (Ceramica Panaria-Navigare) were all active and forced the end of Hernández escape with seven kilometres remaining.

Bettini struck again with Martin Elmiger (Ag2r Prévoyance) and teammate Carlos Barredo. They were captured as the road pointed uphill to Offagna. That was when a double-barrel blast came from Astana teammates Vinokourov and Andreas Klöden, but stage three winner, Riccardo Riccò, was right there to respond. Riccò attacked and opened up a small gap on the Astana riders.

Behind, disaster struck for a second day in a row for Bettini. The World Champion, who has crashed three times in the last month, could be under the cruse of rainbow jersey, and the 32 year-old went down on a right-hand turn at the foot of the final climb. Bettini was, however, able to finish the stage.

Riccò pressed forward, chased by Schumacher, wearer of the Maglia Rosa in the 2006 Giro, and held on to win by four seconds over the German. They were followed by Vinokourov, Janez Brajkovic (Discovery Channel), Thomas Dekker (Rabobank), Klöden, Michael Boogerd (Rabobank) and Stefano Garzelli (Acqua & Sapone-Caffè Mokambo).
