Stage 3 - April 22: Roncone Breguzzo - Fiavè, 165 km
Mercado wins for his daughter
Juan Miguel Mercado Martin (Quick.Step-Davitamon) has claimed victory in the third stage of the Giro del Trentino, riding away from Giuseppe Muraglia (Formaggi Pinzolo Fiavè) and Bartosz Huzarski (Action ATI) to win in Fiavè. Race leader Damiano Cunego (Saeco) finished 15th, 1'27 behind Mercado, and was able to retain the leader's jersey.
It was Mercado's first win of the season and his first time riding the Giro del Trentino. "It is a great satisfaction to have won today," said the Spanish climber. "Everybody looked at me in the lead group. On the Passo Uldarico climb, I attacked . On the last climb I made another attack and I finished alone. It is the first time that I have taken part in the Giro del Trentino and it is a wonderful race. I want to dedicate this victory to my daughter, Aiñoa, who was born three months ago."
The stage from Roncone Breguzzo to Fiavè was run over a hilly 165 km route, containing five main climbs, including the finishing ascent. The break of the day went after 57 km, including Mercado, Piccoli and Garate (Lampre), Gobbi and Gasparre (De Nardi), Solari (Barloworld), Konyshev and Aggiano (Team LPR), Gaynitdinov (Team ICET), Fuentes, (Saeco), Sironi (Vini Caldirola), Laverde and Muraglia (Formaggi Pinzolo), Huzarski (Action ATI), Kychinski (Amore e Vita) and Sosenka (Acqua e Sapone). Containing no big threats to the GC, the break was able to take 3'15 lead over the peloton on the Passo Uldarico (113 km).
Mercado attacked on the next climb, but only succeeded in dropping Gobbi, and there were still 15 riders left with 25 km to go with a 2'50 gap to the Saeco led peloton. At the first passage through Fiavè with 16 km to go, it was Muraglia who crossed the line in front of Mercado and Solari. After the descent, Garate, Mercado, Solari, Muraglia, Huzarski and Kychinski attacked the rest of the break to form the leading group on the last climb. Mercado had the best legs on the climb and was able to attack with 3 km to go to take the stage win ahead of Muraglia (who wanted to win for his team co-sponsor) and Huzarski.
Tomorrow will see the final stage of the Giro del Trentino, and in all likelihood Damiano Cunego will hold on to take the biggest win in his still young pro career.
