Bartoli breaks the drought
Michele Bartoli has won his first race since the beginning of March
(Het Volk) in the 52nd edition of the GP Camaiore. Bartoli beat Bulgarian
Ivailo Gabrovski (Jean Delatour) and Gianni Faresin (Liquigas) in a
three man sprint, with his Mapei teammate Stefano Garzelli finishing
fourth.
Garzelli and Bartoli had attacked on the 4 km Monte Pitoro climb on
the second last lap. Gianni Faresin and Ivailo Gabrovski came with them
for the ride, while Francesco Casagrande (Fassa Bortolo) chased. However,
the four managed to keep the gap back to Casagrande to around a minute,
and this was enough to see them home.
In the final sprint, Gabrovski surprised Bartoli with his turn of
speed, and it was only the Italian's bike throw that ensured the result
on the line. Afterwards, Bartoli admitted that he'd underestimated Gabrovski
"a little" but knew that he was a fast finisher.
Bartoli also thanked Garzelli: "On the climb he was always in front,
pulling, allowing us to conserve our advantage during the last lap.
It was enough that he ensured that I was in a position to contest the
victory. And still he managed to lead out the sprint for me."
