Report

French rider Laurent Jalabert, who is hanging on to the Maglia Rose by 4 seconds has estimated that Marco Pantani will be leading the Giro by the time it reaches Milan on Sunday week. He said: "My objective was not to win the Giro. I will be happy to finish second in Milan. It will be a good result. I am betting on Pantani."

The Frenchman has not yet decided if he will be riding in the Tour de France and at this stage is preferring to concentrate on the tough hills that are coming in this Giro.

Meanwhile, Stage 13 came down to a sprinting match with Italian Mario Cipollini, who also won the 12th stage, repeating the dose. The three big sprinters in this year's Giro - Mario Cipollini, Espoir Ivan Quaranta, and Dutch rider Jeroen Blijlevens - have taken the majority of the stages between them so far. At Sassuolo, a small industrial town near to Maranello where Ferrari has become a legend, Super Mario was too quick for his rivals. It is his third stage victory in this Giro and his 28th Giro success overall. He first rode the Giro in 1989.

Stung by the success of Quaranta, Cipollini was superb. The "red train" of his Saeco team brought him into town in a perfect position and he was in 7th position with 800 metres to go. He followed Italian Nicola Minali who launched the sprint and then went around him at the opportune moment. Quaranta, was on the other side of the road with Blijlevens, the latter having to settle for third.

The locals in Sassuolo were the beneficiaries of the great sprinting show. But they reserved there mania for Marco Pantani and they swarmed around him at the end. A passage had to be cleared by police to allow him to get to his nearby hotel.

Prior to the sprint show, the 168 kms of this stage were unexceptions. Pantani spent a peaceful day in the peloton along with Laurent Jalabert. Only a solo attack by Gianluca Sironi stirred any action.

At Cesenatico, Pantani was blood tested by the UCI medical team. Two other teams Mapei and Saeco expressed concern about the way that the system of testing is being conducted. The names of the three teams which are targetted each morning are, in effect, made public earlier by La Gazetta. The tests then may be farcical given the revelations of Willy Voet that teams had methods of bringing hematocrit levels down very quickly.
