Erik Dekker (Rabobank) successfully defended the 18 second lead that he had over Danilo Di Luca (Saeco) to win the 37th edition of Tirreno-Adriatico, which finished in San Benedetto del Tronto today. In doing so, Dekker became only the second Dutchman to win this prestigious Italian race after Joop Zoetemelk in 1985.
The final stage ended in a bunch sprint won by Mario Cipollini (Acqua e Sapone) in what he hopes is a premonition for Saturday's Milan-San Remo. Today Cipollini beat Erik Zabel (Telekom), who only has one victory to his credit this year and a slew of second and third placings. Of course, a fifth win in MSR for Zabel would make up for his slightly 'below par' year so far.
Today's race was fairly slow for the first half, with an average speed of just 29 km/h after three hours of racing. It wasn't entirely unexpected, with Milan-San Remo looming in three days time. The pace began to pick up after two riders, Brendolin and Pepoli, attacked to establish a 1'55 lead coming into San Benedetto del Tronto with 54 kilometres to go.
With the speed now around 44 km/h, the pair had little chance to stay away and were caught with just over two laps of the 9 kilometre circuit to go. Once again, Mapei and Acqua e Sapone were setting the tempo for their sprinters, Freire, Bettini, and Cipollini. Zabel was also seen near the front, and clearly had designs on the victory.
The final lap was raced at nearly 52 km/h, too high to allow any attacks to stay away for long. The inevitable bunch sprint saw an impressive Cipollini finish ahead of Zabel, Ruskys, Strazzer and Svorada. The big Tuscan wants more than ever to add Milan-San Remo to his long list of palmares.
"I was on the wheel of the Czech, but he stopped," recalled Supermario. "I was closed in, I may have had to do a little bit of slalom, but I was brave and fortunate to find a way through on the outside with 100 metres to go. I should look at it on TV, but I think I did a long sprint. It's a sign that the legs are there, even if this win doesn't mean much in the perspective of San Remo."
Of the non-sprinters, Erik Dekker has certainly put himself in a favourite's position to win La Primavera after his strong performance in Tirreno-Adriatico. After finishing second in the third stage (won by Danilo Di Luca), Dekker took the lead in the fourth stage time trial, where Di Luca lost 44 seconds in just 12.7 kilometres. Although Di Luca regained some of it by winning stage 5, he couldn't put enough time into Dekker to challenge again for the overall.
Not since Maurizio Fondriest (1993) and Giorgio Furlan (1994) has the winner of Tirreno-Adriatico managed to win Milan-San Remo in the same year, although T-A is still a considered good predictor for MSR. Dekker will certainly be heavily marked, and Danilo Di Luca is fortunate the he has the edge on him in a sprint if they come to the finish in a small group.
Milan-San Remo is shaping up to be a titanic struggle this year with the favourites from Tirreno-Adriatico: Zabel, Cipollini, Freire, Bettini, Dekker and Di Luca, up against top Paris-Nice riders such as Laurent Jalabert, Robbie McEwen and Alessandro Petacchi. Don't rule out Michele Bartoli, although he had a relatively quiet Tirreno-Adriatico finishing in 104th spot.
