Preview

The UCI Cat 2.2 Giro del Trentino, which runs from today to May 3, is expected to see the return to serious form of marco Pantani, who needs to ride well here in preparation for the Giro d'Italia next month.

Pantani's team manager Giuseppe Martinelli says the climber has recovered from the early season problems with bronchitis that caused him to drop out of the Tour of Murcia, Tour of the Basque Country and the Settimana Lombardi. Of the giro del Trentino, Martinelli said, "We are sure we will be well involved, but we have no particular ambitions. I have spoken with Pantani. He is motivated and ready to face this test. He has had a week of intense, hard training on his local roads."

"After all that work it is hard to imagine that he will not be strong for this race. We are sure that the course of the Giro del Trentino will reveal a Marco in much better condition after the four stages."

Pantani will find himself among many of his rivals for the Giro d'Italia maglia rosa. Notable among the competition are Ivan Gotti (Alessio), who took over Pantani's lead in the 1999 Giro when Pantani was eliminated because of a too-high haematocrit, and last year's winner Stefano Garzelli (Mapei). Both riders will be trying to establish psychological superiority in the run-up to the Giro.
