France's Cyril Dessel, also of AG2r-La Mondiale, was third, 13 seconds behind, after winning the sprint of the favourites' group.
"This victory means much more to me than the first one because it was a real mountain stage," said Ricco, who now is 21st overall, 2:35 adrift of Luxembourg's Kim Kirchen.
