Report

The European press have now renamed the Giro d'Italia - the Pantani Show. This is in recognition of the little Italian's storming performance over the last two days. Once again, he won the stage 20 ride to Madonna di Campiglio to take his 4th stage since the Giro began, nearly 3 weeks ago. Once again, he waited until the last few kms of the stage - today he attacked 5.5 kms from the end and quickly built a lead over his rivals - well not quite rivals, but those next on the GC.

He was alone at the end after the tough climb up the Alpe di Pampeago and the gaps on the other riders were large. He told the press afterwards: "I was feeling very relaxed today. I sensed a state of grace. I was definitely better than yesterday. If the stage order had have been reversed the gaps would have been much larger than they were." He was referring to the fact that yesterday's climb was tougher.

The action really began earlier when a 10-person attack - Tronca, Caucchioli, De Paoli, Rodrigues, Arrieta, Bettini, Richard, Frattini, Buenahora, and Piccoli - went clear. But two teams - Vini Caldirola and Kelme controlled the chase and the 12 reached the bottom of the final climb (of 12.3 kms) with a lead of around a minute.

The climb started breaking the group up and it was Swiss rider Pascal Richard and Colombian Hernan Buenahora, who were still in the lead with 5 kms to go. At that point, Pantani who had been steadily coming behind swept past them. Just prior to that Laurent Jalabert accelerated and the Italian got out of his saddle and started his final ascent leaving all in his wake. The final 5 kms to 1516m were a one-man exhibition of climbing. He now has the three major jerseys - Maglia Rosa, Points and Mountains.

There was some stupidity at the end with Pascal Richard claiming he was chased down by Pantani and it would have been nice for him to be allowed to win in his last season in cycling. Pantani was short on this point: "But, if that had not been me, that it would have been someone else who beat him."

Italian Paolo Savoldelli retained second place on GC more than 5.38 behind Pantani. He has a lead of 34 seconds on Ivan Gotti and a little more to Jalabert (see below). With two days to go, more damage is expected at the top of the race. On Saturday, the 190 kms Stage 21 takes the riders up a series of tough climbs - Gavia (2621m), noted for the snowstorm in 1988, Mortirolo (1852m) and the Valico di Santa Cristina, with the 6.5 kms climb to the finish at Aprica.

Pantani commented: "Mortirolo is one of the most beautiful and hardest climbs that I know." He then appealed to the tifosi to let the riders have a clear run on the climb. He pointed out that the road is very narrow and the corners are very steep. It will be very crowded and dangerous for the riders.

Pantani was also asked about his participation in the Tour de France. He said that if his sponsor allows him to make a free choice then he will not ride. He is awaiting to hear about that.
