Saeco sprinter Biago Conte has taken out the first stage of Tirreno-Adriatico, a 132 kilometre circuit race in Sorrento. Conte beat Dmitri Konyshev (Fassa Bortolo) and Erik Zabel (Telekom) to record his biggest victory since his Giro d'Italia stage win last year, also finishing in front of world champion Romans Vainsteins.
David Rebellin (Liquigas) and Ivan Basso (Fassa Bortolo) were the day's two main protagonists, escaping on the climb of Picco Sant'Angelo, to no avail. However, Saeco's main sprinter Mario Cipollini has put in difficulty on the rise, giving freedom to his teammate Conte to try and win the stage.
Telekom's Alberto Elli led out the purple train for Zabel, but Conte latched onto it in the final kilometre and was able to come around the Telekom sprinter. "The Telekom team kept things together in the crucial part of the race and so I kept a close eye on Zabel," said Conte. "They organised a lead out train with 5 km to go and then Fagnini led out Zabel. He jumped at 200m but I came off his wheel at 150m to go and managed to get past him and win."

He jokingly credited the Telekom colours for his win, as "they are the colours of Palermo." (Conte's favourite football team). However, he then dedicated the win to his late father, Salvatore, who passed away last month.
32 year old Conte has only eight career wins, but they include the aforementioned Giro stage (where Angel Vicioso was DQ'd) and two stages in the Vuelta España in 1996. He maintained that he is here to work for Cipollini, and will resume that role in the coming stages.
Tomorrow's second stage takes the riders 163 kilometres from Sorrento to Benevento, and it is totally flat.
