Francisco Mancebo is Back.

Where did Fransico Mancebo of Rock Racing find the energy to pull this victory off? After 7hrs off the front in a small group in the cold rain, Mancebo left his breakaway cohorts with 44 miles to go only to get caught in the final kilometers by Vincenzo Nibali (Liguias) and Jurgen Van de Walle (Quick Step). Smartly, Mancebo got the surprise jump on the pair of would be spoilers and easily took the well deserved victory.
