Mark Cavendish (Omega Pharma – Quick Step) idealnie wykorzystał pomoc Gerta Steegmansa i wygrał po raz setny w swojej karierze. Vincenzo Nibali (Astana) pozostał liderem. Po raz kolejny stracił Bradley Wiggins (Sky).
Zawodnicy do 12 etapu Giro d’Italia wystartowali z Longarone, a metę zorganizowano w Treviso. Pierwsza część etapu prowadziła przez lekkie pagórki, ale ostatnie 30 kilometrów było płaskie jak stół. O etapowe zwycięstwo walczyli więc sprinterzy.
Już na 10 km uformowała się ucieczka dnia w składzie: Fabio Felline (Androni), Maxim Belkov (Katusha), Bert De Backer (Argos-Shimano), Maurits Lammertink (Vacansoleil). Po chwili doskoczył do nich również Marco Marcato (Vacansoleil).
Przez cały etap kolarzom towarzyszył deszcz. Odczuli to zawodnicy z ucieczki, którzy na 26 kilometrze zaliczyli bliski kontakt z asfaltem. Upadku uniknął tylko kolarz z Argos-Shimano. Uciekinierzy nie zdołali uzyskać znaczącej przewagi i zostali złapani przed samą kreską.
Sam finisz, to ponownie popis „Cavsa”. Wygrał Mark Cavendish, drugi był Nacer Bouhanni(FDJ), który może zostać zdyskwalifikowany przez sędziów za wypchnięcie Sachy Modolo (Bardiani), a trzeci Luka Mezgec (Argos Shimano).
Dwadzieścia kilometrów przed metą peleton przedzielił się na dwie grupy, w drugiej z nich znalazł się Bradley Wiggins. Mimo pościgu niemal całej drużyny Brytyjczykowi nie udało się dojść do głównej grupy, tracąc ponad 3 minuty do zwycięzcy.
Etapu nie ukończył Kolumbijczyk Dalivier Ospina(Team Columbia), a na stracie nie stawił się Matti Breschel(Saxo-Tinkoff).
Liderem pozostał Nibali. Na siódme miejsca awansował Przemek Niemiec (Lampre-Merida), a na dziesiąte Rafał Majka (Saxo-Tinkoff).

Najlepszą wiadomością z tego etapu,jest strata Wigginsa,jakoś nie lubię tego kolarza.
Mam nadzieję, że pod koniec sezonu angielski twór zabijający kolarstwo zwany ekipą SKY się pięknie rozleci, a Wigginsowi pozostanie leczenie własnego ego na czasówkach. Tak nudnych jak on sam. Brawo Majka, brawo Niemmiec!
