A rolling route south of the big mountains in Northern Italy from Pordenone to Gorizia, with two passes over the modest San Floriano del Collio (276m) | 
Androni Giocattoli's team manager Gianni Savio and currently his best rider, Josè Serpa, confident at the wet, chilly start in Pordenone | 
Team Type 1 was one of two North American teams in the field. Jure Kocjan was the team's only rider to finish (20th + 5:10) |
Ivan Basso and Roman Kreuziger bundled up at the start for a long day in the saddle. Actually, neither of these guys finished. They got off after 100 km after the first climb | 
Cadel Evans in his first race of the year chasing on the descent of San Floriano del Collio | 
Neither Cadel Evans or |
any of these riders including Katusha's Filippo Pozzato finished the race. | 
In fact, only 25 riders finished the race. Two riders that did very well racing at Giro di Sardegna last week, led a two man sprint to the line. | 
Jose Serpa (Androni Giocattoli), 2nd overall at Giro di Sardenga beats Classica Sarda Sassari winner Pavel Brutt (Katusha). An ugly race today for sure in cold, wet even snowy conditions. |
Your winner | 
Your 33rd Giro del Friuli podium: 2nd Pavel Brutt (Katusha), 1st Jose Serpa (Androni Giocattoli) and 3rd Nicki Sörensen (Saxo Bank Sungard + 0:05) |
