Stage 17 BriefMarco Pantani gave an impressive demonstration of his strength in the Dolomites to take the leader's jersey - the maillot rose - from Alex Zulle. Pantani was 10th on the 2nd on the stage, raced over 217 kms between Asiago and Selva Valgardena, and was beaten by fellow Italian Giuseppe Guerini with Colombien Chepe Gonzalez taking 3rd some 2.02 behind the others."The Elephant dumped Zulle on the climb of the col de Fedaia, the third an most difficult of the climbs of the day. Accompanied by Russian Pavel Tonkov and Swiss rider Oscar Camenzind, he constantly attacked and advanced to the jersey. He knew he had to make the largest impression before the final time trial on Thursday. With Guerini in pursuit, the Italian went over the col de Sella (2214 m) and then Guerini took the stage after the descent into Valgardena. Coming it at 4.36 was Zulle. Pantani now has 30 seconds on Tonkov, 31 on Guerine and a 1.01 on Zulle. The next two stages, both in the Dolomites will allow him to build on that advantage. The Giro lost the sprinter Mario Cipollini, winner of 4 flat stages. Super Mario abandoned with gastroenteritis. He said he was preparing for the Tour de France which was his biggest objective of the season and that he was aiming to win the sprinter's green jersey. Our intrepid reporter, Marcel Wust was outside the time limit and so he is gone. 98 riders remain in the classification. Stage 17, Asiago - Selva di Val Gardena,217 kms:1.
