Stage 11: Wednesday, May 21, Collecchio - Savona, 249 km

Stage 11 photos | Stage 11 map and profile |

The Race: Former maglia rosa Michael Matthews succumbed to crash injuries and did not start stage 11.

Michael Rogers, an excellent time trialist, attacked on the descent of the Naso di Gatto, maybe 20 km from the finish. With seven km to go he had extended his lead to 41 seconds from an unmotivated peloton.

At four kms to go the pack was really chasing and had whittled Rogers' lead to 34 seconds.

Two km to go, 16 seconds.

Under the red kite, Rogers is turning a big gear, has 20 seconds.

He did it! Time for a kiss to the crowd. The pack, led by Simon Geschke and Enrico Battalgin, followed in about 10 seconds later.
