Spaniard Koldo Fernández (Euskaltel-Euskadi) won the final stage of the 42nd Tirreno-Adriatico from a bunch sprint in San Benedetto, securing his first win since turning professional in 2004. After almost 177km of racing, the field was poised for a sprint with Liquigas working for Filippo Pozzato and Milram for Alessandro Petacchi. A rush to the line by Julian Dean and Thor Hushovd of Crédit Agricole spoiled the Italians' affair and made way for the 25 year-old of Euskaltel-Euskadi to over-power Gabriele Balducci (Acqua & Sapone-Caffè Mokambo) and Australian Stuart O'Grady (Team CSC). German Andreas Klöden rode smartly and, with help from his team Astana, retained his overall lead to the race known as the Corsa dei Due Mari.

Petacchi's sprint chances were hindered when with two kilometres remaining, he was forced to unclip and put his foot down when others slid out in front of him. "Unfortunately there was a crash in front of me at two kilometres to go," the 2005 Milano-Sanremo winner explained. "I lost a lot of positions and I was not able to re-enter to find my teammates for a proper sprint. I am sorry to not come away with one stage win in this Tirreno-Adriatico, but I feel good and I hope to have good luck next Saturday.

After a week-long solid ride by Astana's Kazakh Alexander Vinokourov and German Andreas Klöden, the team captured the overall win for the 31 year-old German known as 'Hilde.' He locked in his chance at taking the overall when he finished second in the time trial on Sunday, one second behind compatriot Stefan Schumacher (Gerolsteiner). The three second disadvantage was settled on Monday's run to San Giacomo, where Hilde was able to move into the overall lead by finishing ninth. Today he rode smartly and, with help from his team Astana, retained his overall lead to the race known as the Corsa dei Due Mari.

Today was set to be a parade lap along the Mar Adriatico and a chance for the sprinters to duel one last time before they meet four days later in Castello Sforzesco, for the start of Milano-Sanremo. The classification was almost set, with a bit of sprint needed from Kim Kirchen (T-Mobile) to overtake the three seconds that Klöden held after yesterday's run to San Giacomo.

Only 138 riders rolled out of Civitella del Tronto. Missing were Jason McCartney (Discovery Channel), Rinaldo Nocentini (Ag2r Prévoyance), Bram Tankink, Maarten Wynants (both of Quickstep-Innergetic), and Fabian Cancellara (Team CSC).

The parcours from Civitella del Tronto to San Benedetto was simple; the peloton would encounter the only Gran Premio Della Montagna (GPM, for mountains classification points) at kilometre 61.4 and end on the seven eight-kilometre circuits (Giri) around the seaside finishing town.

The pack stayed together for the first hour (gruppo compatto) and covered 33.95 kilometres. The GPM of Castignano forced a splitting in the group; Salvatore Commesso (Tinkoff Credit Systems) darted off to grab maximum points and ensured he won the mountains jersey, with Fortunato Baliani (Ceramica Panaria-Navigare) and Serguei Yakovlev (Astana) in-tow.

However, there was to be no leeway given, and the peloton stayed together to enter the final 56 kilometres around San Benedetto. The first circuit was covered at an average of 38.8 km/h, the second, with T-Mobile in charge, at 41.4, and the third, the intermediate sprint, at 48.6. René Haselbacher grabbed the bonus seconds to make sure his Astana captain kept the leader's jersey.

A group of six formed on the fourth circuit containing Daniele Contrini (Tinkoff Credit Systems), Roberto Petito (Liquigas), double stage winner Riccardo Riccò (Saunier Duval-Prodir), Cristian Moreni (Cofidis), Giuseppe Muraglia (Acqua & Sapone-Caffè Mokambo), and Franck Renier (Bouygues Telecom). By the start of the fifth circuit they had a slight 24 second advantage to the peloton led by Lampre-Fondital for Danilo Napolitano.

The gap was down to eight seconds after another eight kilometres, covered in an average of 49.1 km/h. At the start of the final, seventh circuit the peloton was all together and preparing for a Sanremo sprint warm-up.

Ag2r Prévoyance moved to the front after the break had been caught, but they were quickly washed away by the experienced sprint team of Milram. The boys, minus Erik Zabel who departed yesterday, were setting up the sprint. Pozzato of Liquigas, last year's winner of Sanremo, was carried to the front in the finale and placed on the third wheel, immediately in front of Ale-Jet.

After passing the red triangle, there was a rush of speed from the left via Crédit Agricole's Julian Dean and Thor Hushovd. Petacchi jumped on the move while 'Pippo' Pozzato was swept from the front. This set the peloton up for an unusual sprint. Crédit Agricole lacked the power for the metres remaining and was hit by an orange bullet, Koldo Fernández.
