Stage 21 BriefItaly's Nicola Miceli, who was lying 5th on the GC in this year's Giro was excluded from the 34 kms ITT between Mendrisio and Lugano (Switzerland) after failing a blood test. One other rider, Riccardo Forconi, who is on the same team as GC leader Marco Pantani was also excluded. Both were found to have hematocrit levels above the allowed 51 per cent. After a rash of exclusions from races last year, only one other rider has been found to be above the limit - Spain's Angel Edo who was banned from riding the Milan-San Remo in March.The UCI tested 28 riders before the ITT. The interesting thing is that Miceli won a stage in this year's Giro during the first week. Neither rider will be allowed to race for 15 days and then they have to be retested in Lausanne (UCI Head Office) before getting their licences restored. The rivalry between Pantani and Tonkov received most attention. Here are their splits:
To Go Pantani Tonkov 31 kms 0.03 - 25 kms 0.06 - 22 kms 0.10 - 20 kms 0.08 - 17 kms 0.02 (19.59) (20.01) 14 kms - 0.01 13 kms - 0.03 10 kms 0.00 - 8 kms 0.02 - 6 kms 0.06 - 5 kms 0.05 - 4 kms 0.06 - 3 kms 0.04 - 1 kms 0.07 - Finish 0.05 (40.24) (40.29)The number, like 0.03, means that the rider was that many seconds faster.
