Controversy
This edition was heavily disrupted by activists who stated that the race was intended as political Propaganda for the Lega Nord political party. The idea of organising the race was announced by Lega Nord's leader Umberto Bossi in September 2010 and, according to the protesters, the race itself was full of references to the Padanian nationalism, such as the choice of green colour for the leader's jersey. Moreover, the race is organized by the society Monviso-Venezia, whose president, Michelino Davico, is a Lega Nord's senator.
During second stage, in Savona, Ivan Basso and Sacha Modolo had been slapped and insulted by protesters.
