Italian Daniele Bennati (Liquigas) won a controversial photo finish over Brit Mark Cavendish (High Road) in today's 12th stage. Race officials awarded the win to Bennati after analyzing the photo. What makes it controversial is that a lot of people believe Cavendish actually pulled ahead at the last millimeter when looking at the footage! Maybe there is a reason why Italians have won the last 11 Giro's. In any case, it was a great sprint by, who are clearly, the two fastest finishers in this year's race.

Tomorrow's stage should be ditto. But then again, it is the Giro. So we will see how it unfolds.
