Stage 1, Sorrento - Sorrento, 131 kms:

The 34th edition of the Tirreno-Adriatico started today in Sorrento amidst a spectacular setting of crowds and excitement on the Sorrento peninsula. The race was sent off at 11.48 from the Partono da Piazza Angelina Lauro. The President of the Italian Cycling Federation started the riders.

The first attack came early (km 18) from Andrea Tafi and he quickly gained a lead of around 32 seconds. He was brought back 12 kms later. At Monticchio (km 45.5) a group of 8 riders (Rebellin, Jalabert, Bartoli, Garzelli, Hamburger, Etxebarria, Sastre Candil and Turicchia) escaped with Baldato in pursuit. At km 52, the group has 15 seconds of Baldato and 26 on the peloton. Baldato was then caught by the peloton. At km 61.6 the gap was 0.34 and the average speed was around 40.261 km/h.

At Picco San Angelo (km 75.2) the group was now down to Bartoli, Jalabert, Rebellin, Hamburger, Garzelli and Turicchia with Etxebarria and Sastre Candil falling away. The gap was 0.45. Turicchia was dropped and this left 5 in the top group. At Monticchio (km 80.7) the gap was out to one minute. As they came into Massa Lubrense (km 89.9) the gap was 0.55 and the team of Liquigas-Brescialat started to work hard on the front. As they went onto the second of the large laps the gap was down tp 0.32. A chasing group of Petito, Filippo Casagrande, Vainsteins and Donati was now making ground on the 5 out front.

At 105 kms with 25 kms to go this group was only 20 seconds behind. With 15 kms to go, the gap had blown out again to 0.28. 5 kms to go it was down to 14 seconds and soon the groups joined. In the sprint it was Latvian Romans Vainsteins who was the quickest and he also took the maglia giallorossa (GC leader's jersey) for his efforts.
