Stage 11 sees the start of a three-day tour of Marco Pantani's home region. Following the first rest day in Pesaro and yesterday's individual time trial run to Urbino, the Corsa Rosa features a mountainous stage to the hometown of the late and gifted climber, Cesena.
Look out for Emanuele Sella (CSF Group Navigare) to try for a repeat of his 2004 win once the race hits the closing 11.5-kilometre loop around Cesena. (GB)
