Vincenzo Nibali leading the Giro di Padania overall classifications
Nibali is leading the Giro di Padania stage 3 classifications with a gap of 12 seconds over Riccardo Chiarini of Team Androni Giocattoli-Venezuela.
The stage victory has strengthened his position and he is now only 14 seconds behind Vincenzo Nibali at the third position.
Sonny Colbrelli is further five seconds behind at the fifth spot, while Domenico Pozzovivo, Enrico Battaglin, Angelo Pagani, Fabio Felline, Franco Pellizotti and Emanuele Sella claimed the next five positions respectively.
Nibali rode brilliantly throughout the race and was looking good to bag an overall victory at the event but was stopped by Oscar Gatto of Team Farnese Vini.
Gatto won the third stage of the Giro di Padania 2012 after his tremendous performance during the 229 kilometre race between Veneto to Merate.
The cyclist completed the race in a total time of 5 hours, 51 minutes and 9 seconds and occupied the top podium position.
The young Italian did well to restrict his experienced competitor, Vincenzo Nibali, for the second spot.
Riccardo Chiarini of Team Androni Giocattoli-Venezuela finished 13 seconds behind and secured the third spot, with Fabio Taborre of Team Acqua & Sapone and Sacha Modolo of Team Colnago-CSF Inox securing the fourth and the fifth spots.
Gatto opened his 2012 winning account with a first place finish at the Giro del Veneto and finished third during the Strade Bianche 2012.
