Cunego's encore
 |
In a mirror of yesterday's first stage, Damiano Cunego and Saeco once more turned the screws in the Giro del Trentino, exuding more confidence as preparations for the team's Giro d'Italia defense next month. Gilberto Simoni was also in fine form once again, taking second on the stage behind his young teammate.
"Congratulations to Cunego, he1s going to win the Giro del Trentino and he deserves it," Simoni commented after Saeco's second win in as many days. "I'm happy because I rode well and I feel good."
Saeco took control of today's stage at the 100km mark, after having steadily reeled in an early solo breakaway by Domenico Gualdi (Formaggi Pinzolo Fiave). Gualdi had gone clear after the 54km mark, following another mellow stage start by a peloton in no rush to race before the serious mountain tests coming later in the day.

On the way to the first mountain points, Saeco upped the pace, and Cunego started to show himself once again. Giuliano Figueras (Panaria) and Jure Golcer (Formaggi Pinzolo Fiave) were once more the top rivals, along with an in-form Pavel Tonkov (Vini Caldirola), preparing his own Giro foundations in support of an expected Garzelli-Simoni showdown in May.
By the time the race hit the Passo Daone, the damage was being done. Cunego once more attacked, taking six other riders with him: Simoni, Golcer, Figueras, Sella, Trampusch, and Tonkov. This proved to be the winning move, but the race wasn't over for the precocious race leader. With the help of Simoni and one more tempo session on the final climb, Cunego broke clear once more to put in a decisive blow and win by more than 30 seconds. Simoni provided the icing on the cake with second, while Golcer moved himself into second overall, the biggest threat to Cunego's victory bid.
