Di Luca, who rides for Liquigas, completed the 2,166-mile, 21-stage race in 92 hours 59 minutes 39 seconds. It was his 42nd career victory.
Luxemburg's Andy Schleck was 1:55 behind, followed by Italy's Eddy Mazzoleni in third, 2:25 off the lead. The race ended in Milan.
Di Luca became the first rider from Abruzzo in Italy's south to win the race traditionally dominated by northern Italians.
· AUTO RACING: Another dose of Milwaukee Mile misfortune for Helio Castroneves gave Tony Kanaan an IndyCar Series victory.
Castroneves, who started from the pole at the track in West Allis, Wis., and led several times in the ABC Supply/A.J. Foyt 225, was cruising toward an easy win when the rear wing on his Team Penske Dallara collapsed, sending him spinning into the wall 25 laps from the finish.
That gave the lead to Kanaan, his fellow Brazilian and longtime friend, who stayed out front the rest of the way to record his second straight win here and the ninth of his IndyCar career.
· MIXED MARTIAL ARTS: Former NFL wide receiver Johnnie Morton was knocked out less than a minute into his first professional mixed martial arts bout, then was suspended from the sport for refusing to take a drug test.
Morton's debut Saturday night in Los Angeles ended 38 seconds into the first round, when he caught a right hand to the head from Bernard Ackah of Ivory Coast.
Morton, who played for the Detroit Lions and Kansas City Chiefs, was hospitalized but not seriously hurt, Armando Garcia, executive director of the California State Athletic Commission, told the Los Angeles Times.
Garica later confirmed the 35-year-old Morton, who played in college for Southern California, had been suspended for refusing the drug test.
· RUNNING: Daniel Yego of Kenya pulled away from the lead pack just after the Mile 19 marker and ran away with the Rock 'n' Roll Marathon, finishing in 2:09:04.
Cruising alone through the final seven miles of the 26.2-mile race in San Diego, Yego beat countryman Christopher Cheboiboch by nearly two minutes.
The Rock 'n' Roll Marathon features Elvis impersonators and bands playing at approximately every mile and near the finish line.
