1st Monte Paschi Eroica - 1.1
Italy, October 9, 2007
Kolobnev becomes the first to conquer Eroica
By Gregor Brown
|
Alexandr Kolobnev of Team CSC conquered the first-ever running of the Monte Paschi Eroica, a 180-kilometre race composed of le strade bianche ('white gravel roads') around Siena, Italy. The 26 year-old Russian, silver medallist at the World Championships nine days prior, completed the last forty kilometres solo. Second was taken by his Swedish CSC team-mate, Marcus Ljungqvist, and third by Ukrainian Mikhaylo Khalilov (Ceramica Flaminia).
(For more details on the race read First Monte Paschi Eroica presented.)
Manuele Mori (Saunier Duval-Prodir) was the first Italian, in fourth. Two-time Giro d'Italia Champion Gilberto Simoni, who rode the cyclo-tourist version on Sunday, finished 12th. Noted Classics riders Filippo Pozzato (Liquigas) and Alessandro Ballan (Lampre-Fondital) finished with the main group.
"It was a very particular race," said Kolobnev after the finish. "At the beginning of the day I did not think I could do something for the finale."
|
The race went well for him when he made an escape of 11 men at kilometre 74. "It was good to be at the front in this race. I had made the selection, and then my solo move. Plus, having Marcus behind gave me confidence."
His team-mate attacked upon reaching the city limits of Siena, the city famous for its bi-annual horse races, Palio di Siena.
"It is a great zone, with olive trees. Unfortunately, I could not see but 30 metres in front of me because of the dust."
Paolo Bettini beat Kolobnev for the World Championship title, and although he was not racing he was in Siena to watch the racing. "It was a spectacular race to watch with all the dust."
How it unfolded
|
The first annual running of the Monte Paschi Eroica was kick off from Gaiole with an attack by Elio Aggiano (Tinkoff Credit Systems). The Italian, 11 career wins, was in his final race. The gruppo was happy to let him go on his own, taking in his last bit of professional racing in the lime light and to start the first of seven sterrato sectors.
Aggiano ended his pro career when he pulled off to the right side of the road and raised his Colnago bike over his head while watching the Liquigas-led peloton speed by him.
By the climb to Montalcino, the winning move was formed. 11 men, eventually whittled down to eight, faced the remaining four sectors of sterrato. Kolobnev and Ljungqvist (Team CSC), Eros Capecchi (Liquigas), José Alberto Benítez and Mori (Saunier Duval-Prodir), José Enrique Gutierrez (Team LPR), Jure Golcer (Tenax-Salmilano) and Ricardo Serrano (Tinkoff Credit Systems) were the men to fight out the race as it wound its way back north to Siena.
|
Behind the eight were a group of favourite with Het Volk winner Pozzato and Ronde van Vlaanderen winner Ballan. They trailed by two minutes towards the end of the race.
Kolobnev used his Worlds' form to attack and drop his companions in the penultimate sector. By the time he reached the last sector, kilometre 160, he was running a sizable advantage over a now six-man move, with Golcer yo-yoing off the back. Using the most of his skills, the Russian kept his bike upright on the technical gravel descents that comprised the final strada bianca. Leaving the sector, at 11 kilometres remaining, he had 40 seconds over the chase.
Saunier put the most into the chase with two men but it was discouraged by Ljungqvist sitting on. The Swede used his stored strength to attack as the chase entered Siena.
