35th Tirreno-Adriatico - 2.HCItaly, March 14-21, 2001Main page Results Previous stage Stage 8 - March 21: San Benedetto Del Tronto (Circuit), 161 kmRebellin does it againDavide Rebellin (Liquigas) appears to have overcome his reluctant penchant for seconds and thirds, as he successfully staved off Gabriele Colombo (Cantina Tollo) to win the 36th edition of Tirreno-Adriatico. The final stage, a 161 kilometre circuit race in San Benedetto Del Tronto, was won by Alessio's Endrio Leoni, who has also continued to impress this season. Rebellin's final winning margin was less than a second, and he would have lost it if Colombo had finished any higher than fourth in the bunch sprint. Colombo was of course visibly disappointed after he placed behind Leoni, Miguel Angel Meza (Team Colpack) and Erik Zabel (Telekom), but perhaps not as downcast as the stage winner. Endrio Leoni let fly at organisers RCS Sport for not inviting his team to Milan-San Remo. "I win, but I don't make the Sanremo," he cried. "It is a big regret for me and the team who have constantly had results since the beginning of the year." RCS director, Carmine Castellano replied that "The list of the invited teams was prepared 30 days ago. I am sorry for Leoni, but we cannot change the conditions at the moment for this or that rider." Gabriele Colombo will be Cantina Tollo's leader for MSR, but he would certainly have liked to go one step up on the podium today. He tried for time bonuses in two intermediate sprints, managing to place third in each. This gave him a couple of seconds, but he needed just one more to beat Rebellin. In the end, he couldn't quite reach it, and sat dejected away from the press as Rebellin relaxed and received the trophy. However, Rebellin himself knows how painful it is to lose by fractions of seconds. Rebellin commented that he was "quite afraid to lose this race...I was only sure of victory after having crossed the line." The final margin was just 27 hundredths of a second.
