Verona: Corso Porta Nuova, 11 laps/ 178.7 kmGli Azzuri DominateBy Tim Maloney, cyclingnews.com correspondent Once again, "gli azzuri" of the Italian team dominated the 1999 U23 World Road Championship, with 22 year-old Leonardo Giordani taking the solo victory, while his teammate Luca Paolini took the group sprint for the silver, ahead of bronze medalist Matthias Kessler of Germany. Giordani broke away halfway through the race with Belaran Evgeni Seniouchkine and Norwegian Thor Hushvod. After Hushvod dropped back, Giordani and Seniouchkine who are teammates on the Vellutex team in Italy kept a consistent one minute lead on the peloton, with Giordani's blue-clad teammates keeping a lid on the chase. After three laps, the first decisive action came from climber Perez Cuapio of Mexico, who attacked on the Torricelle climb and got a 20" lead, but he was swept up by a counter attacking group of 5 riders. This group came back and with 6 to go, Nikacevic of Yugoslavia went away on the climb, he was brought back on the descent, and Pavel Zernan of the Czech Republic attacked on the flat leading up to the finish line. His lead grew to 1'15" but with 5 to go, a counter behind Zernan by Reihs of Belgium and Gonzalez of Spain doomed the Czech riders lead as it provoked a massive chase from the 100 strong group. With 4 laps to go, Norwegian Thor Hushvod attacked. The '98 U23 TT champ, newly signed by Credit Agricole for 2000 was quickly joined by Giordani and Seniouchkine, and the trio had 30" by the foot of the Torricelle. Either Hushvod had mechanical problems with his bike or his legs, but he dropped back to the peloton by the top and Giordani and Seniouchkine were all alone out front with 56km to race. Behind, the chase was led by the Australian team, with Mick Rogers riding heroicly to keep Cadel Evans in striking range of the front duo, while Brit Jamie Burrow was active as well. But the Italians were just too strong, with Paolini, Lopeboselli and Gobbi covering every move. Giordani and Seniouchkine dangled out front just a minute in front of the chasers, and eventually, on the final lap, the chasers closed down the gap to the front pair to only 15 seconds. The Italian coach told Giordani to attack Seniouchkine on his radio and just at the base of the Torricelle, Giordani went on his own. 15" behind, Polish rider Silvester Szmid, Cadel Evans and Jaime Burrow chased down first Seniouchkine and at the top of the climb, Giordani only had 6" gap. But after Szmid took a huge pull on the downhill, gli azzuri moved in and smothered any more attacks. Giordani's lead went back up to 20" and he won the World U23 Road Championships solo, in front of thousands of screaming Italian fans. Stats:
Italian gold and silverBy Jeff JonesThe U-23 men's road race has been run and won in fine style by Italian rider, Leonardo Giordini from teammate Luca Paolini, giving Italy it's first gold medal of the Championships. It was an impressive ride by the Italian, who was away for the last 75 kilometers of the race finishing solo with some 9 seconds on the second placed Paolini and the bunch. 180 starters lined up for the race, and the pace was predictably high for the first few laps. Many attacks were launched, but nothing really sticking until the 3rd lap, when Mexican climber Julio Alberto Perez Caupio sped up the Toricelle, gaining a 15 second lead. In the bunch the Australians were setting the tempo for Cadel Evans and Matt Hayman, with Switzerland and Italy also prominent. Perez was caught by three others: Alexandar Nikacevic (Yug), Bjorn Leukemans (Bel) and Steve Zampieri (Swi). However, this group did not hold together and there were more counterattacks until, on lap 6, Czech rider Pavet Zerzan went clear and established a good lead of a minute, before overcooking it on the descent and losing some time. On lap 7 he was caught by Michael Reims (Den) and Gorka Gonzalez (Spa), but the bunch rapidly closed in on these three. Then, the key move of the race occurred: Giordani, Thor Hoshovd (Nor, last year's time trial champion), and Belarus rider Evgueni Seniouchkine attacked on the Torricelle climb, and built a lead of 20 seconds fairly quickly. Importantly, Seniouchkine rides for the same amateur team as Giordani and was probably prepared to sacrifice himself. The bunch were down to just 35 at this point, and not looking very organised. Hushovd didn't last long and was dropped on lap 8, but the other two were slowly increasing their lead. However, in a heroic attempt to bring them back, Australian silver medallist in the TT, Michael Rogers drove the pack to within 15 seconds of the leaders. Rogers' teammates Cadel Evans and Matthew Hayman were looking strong and he wanted to give them the best possible chance of victory. However, when he pulled off exhausted, the peleton simply sat up and let the two leaders go, who by now were working really smoothly together. The gap hovered at around a minute before a counterattack on the penultimate lap by Evans, Nicholas Fritsch (Fra) and Jamie Burrows (GBR) tried to bridge across. This again was unsuccessful and after another counterattack, the bunch was intact. The gap was coming down though to 35 seconds at the start of the bell lap. On the last time up the Torricelli, Giordani attacked to get rid of Seniouchkine but still can only hold a 15 second gap to the top. The bunch, however could not match his descending skills and he stayed away to win by a margin of 9 seconds. A brave ride, and Italy's best result so far. Capping off a great day for them (including a bronze in the Junior Women's event), Luca Paolini came in for the silver medal with German champion, Matthias Kessler sprinting into 3rd place. Preview & Interviews on the start line:Conditions: The weather in Verona today is forecast for hazy sun and warm all weekend. After three years of domination by "gli azzuri" of the Italian team, there's no reason that with their home field advantage, the U23 Men of Italy won't bring home the medals in Verona. Dossard numero uno is Leonardo Giordani and the European U23 champ is the likely favorite, with teammates Michele Gobbi, Luca Paolini and climber Angelo Lopsobelli should be in the hunt. But it won't be a cakewalk for the Italians. Australians Cadel Evans, Matt Hayman and Mick Rogers should also have a good chance to do something. British rider Jaime Burrow (newly signed with USPS for 2000) and fellow Brit Charlie Wegelius (newly signed with Mapei for 2000) will be up there as well. Other U23 Mens riders to watch are Thor Hushvod of Norway, Gerhard Trampusch of Austria, Nicolas Fritsch of France, Kim Kirchen of Luxembourg, Slawmir Kohut of Poland, Dmitri Gainitdinov of Russia and Kirk O'Bee and Danny Pate of the USA. One question being asked by many on the roadside inVerona is that of the World Cup mountain bike champion Cadel Evans: can he go one better than his World MTB Championship silver medal? Tensions high before the start Tension among the team boxes is high just prior to the start of the U23 Mens Road Race, with riders such as Norway's Thor Hushvod staying well out of range. However, Australian manager Brian Stephens told cyclingnews.com correspondent Tim Maloney that "we've got as good a chance as anyone today. Cadel is our man today and if the race is hard and the cards fall right, we're in there." But not all competitors and their managers are as confident. The Austrian hopeful Gerhard Trampusch said "it's a really hard course - maybe too hard for me". The Course itself is the urban circuit of Torricelle, which is set in the heart of the beautiful Verona, the city of Romeo & Juliet. The Torricelle are towers that remain from an Austrian castle and line the wooded hillside above Verona. It's a technical course of 16.25km that winds through the historic heart of the city of 350,000. Starting on Corso Porta Nuova, the riders will head through the gate into the historic centre, and turn left at the famous Roman Arena on a 1km section on small cobblestones, then over the Adige River where the 8.3km climb begins. The climb is divided into two sections: 5.6km of an easy ramp with an average gradient of 1.6%, then at the Sanctuary of San Leonardo, the real climb begins of 1.6km at 8.1%. The climb seems somewhat easy on sight, but the road Worlds competitors will ride up Torricelle so fast that it will take its toll. At the top, the descent is very fast, not too technical and after 4km, the circuit comes back into the city center, passes the team boxes and turns back onto Corso Porta Nuova for the final straight of 600 metres.
