Młody Andrea Palini (Team Idea) wygrał 1. etap wyścigu Settimana Internazionale Coppi e Bartali i został jego liderem. Włoch był szybszy od rodaka Cesare Benedetti`ego (Team NetApp) oraz od Belga Pietera Serry`ego (Topsport Vlaanderen – Mercato).
Kolarze ścigali się dziś na 140 km odcinku z Misano Adriatico do Riccione. Zaraz po starcie odjechała grupka, która utrzymywała się na czele przez większość etapu. Jednak o losach odcinka, rozstrzygnęła akcja, która powstała na około 20 km przed końcem. Znaleźli się w niej m.in: Peter Serry (Topsport Vlaanderen-Mercator), Cesare Benedetti (Team Netapp), Alessandro Spezialetti (Lampre Isd), Kevin Seeldrayers (Astana Pro Team), Gabriele Bosisio (Utensilnord Named), Alexander Wetterhall (Endura Racing) oraz 22-letni Palini.
Czołówka wjeżdżając na ostatni kilometr miała 10 sekund przewagi nad peletonem, w którym szalał Liquigas-Cannondale. Harcownicy z nieznaczną przewagą wpadli na metę. Najlepszy okazał się neo-pro Andrea Palini. Jego zwycięstwo jest pierwszym w sezonie dla drużyny kontynentalnej Team Idea.
W wyścigu jedzie dwóch Polaków. Bartosz Huzarski (NetApp) był 47. a Adrian Kurek (Utensilnord Named) zameldował się na 128. miejscu.
