25th Giro del Trentino - 2.2Italy, April 30-May 3, 2001Main page Results Previous stage Stage 3 - May 2: Fondo - Malcesine, 178 kmDufaux wins it for SaecoBy Alessandro Gretter
As expected, the third stage of the Giro del Trentino had its decisive moments in the final three laps around Malcesine with the climb of Campiano. Swiss Laurent Dufaux (Saeco) made the difference not on the up, but on the descent when he was able to gain enough seconds to gain him a solo victory. In the first two hours, the bunch raced altogether and the various attacks of Murn and locals Piccoli and Trenti were closed down in a few kilometres. Before the first sprint, seven riders escaped: Lanfranchi, Pinotti, Murn, Latasa, Konyshev, Gajicic and Perez, who won the intermediate sprint. They reached a maximum advantage of 20 seconds, but Fassa was controlling the stage. At 102 km, Alexia sprinter Ivan Quaranta abandoned. The "Treno Rosso" of Saeco led by Mario Cipollini took the front of the bunch at the first climb. On the ascent Lunghi gained 100 metres and crossed the GPM first. The Colpack rider was caught on the descent by Spaniard Osa. The tandem collaborated well and gained 45".
On the second climb, Swiss Dufaux made the pace, followed by Di Luca and Casagrande, and bridged the gap to the couple. At the GPM Saeco's climber was first and on the technical descent he gained 15 seconds to the chasers. On the last climb, it was a great performance by Massimiliano Gentili who caught Dufaux, but the main group was there also. At the top, Giuliano Figueras closed the gap and all the best riders were together again. It seems that there would be a sprint, but the fearless Dufaux had another chance on the descent. He gained 100 meters that he could maintain on the final cobbled climb. Spaniard Arrieta, attacked in the last kilometre to gain another second place after yesterday. Giro winner Garzelli outsprinted Gonchar and the bunch. Tomorrow is the last stage, between Malcesine and Arco, 181 flat kilometres that will be an important test for the sprinters in the forthcoming Giro d'Italia. After the abandon of Quaranta, there won't be many top rivals for Supermario. Will the "Treno Rosso" call into Arco and perform another victory?
