Stage 1 Report

It was a good sprint finish for Arazzi, with the help of his teamates on the last 2 km. Svorada was second and Conte third in a close finish, but Arazzi was the best in a powerful sprint.

The final of the stage was very active. On the last 10 Km there was several riders to fall down. In prospective of the general many riders lost part of his options, some of them had just a little delay. Bugno, Meier, Fillipo Casagrande, Pulnikov and others are probably out of contention for general classification. Joaquim Gomes and Delmino Pereira, both Portuguese big hopes to win, lost more than a minute.

This is was like the Tour the France, but any similarity is probably a coincidence. In spite of that, the organisation is good and it will be a good "Volta".

Stage 2 Report

Guidi is on good condition. Yesterday he was alone for 80 Km and keep same bonifications. Today, he was very clever and is team made a good job for him. With two mountains on last 30 Kms (2nd and 3th category) the Scrigno team was always very careful and Guidi left the group with Belli on the last 8 km. On the final km, with a powerful attack on a little climb, Guidi was strongest than Belli and won the stage and the yellow jersey. Raul Matias and Vidal Fitas were the animators of the stage with an escape of 120 Km from the 6th Km. No big changes on the general classification. Guidi is on good form and he can keep the yellow jersey for 4 days, just into the first time-trial. Team Scrigno seams to be working for his leader, and the next stages are very good for him.

Stage 3 Report

Today it was a short and easy stage, but ridden in terribly hot conditions (42 degrees). Jan Svorada won the sprint finish, by the narrow margin of half a bike. Arazzi (winner of first stage) and Candido Barbosa contested the sprint, but Svorada came out of the last curve first and wasn't surprised over the last 50 meters. With this victory Svorada is the new leader of the points jersey. Guidi was fourth on the sprint and maintains the yellow jersey.
