Cipo of many colours
Major Mario wins stage 1 and takes Giro lead
By Tim Maloney, European editor

On the podium today in Münster, Mario Cipollini (Acqua&Sapone) was awarded the pink jersey of Giro d'Italia race leadership along with the blue Intergiro and purple combine jerseys after his Stage 1 victory. "I hope all these jerseys don't slow me down tomorrow," joked the delighted Cipo after winning the first start in Münster, Germany after a tumultuous sprint, Cipo's 35th career Giro stage and his 172nd overall win.
After the disappointment yesterday in the Giro prologue, where the powerful Tuscan was slowed with a deflating rear tyre in the last few kilometres, Cipollini came back today to win the stage just ahead of two speedy Australian sprinters, 22 year old Graeme Brown (Ceramiche Panaria-Fiordo) and national champ Robbie McEwen (Lotto-Adecco).
"I'm sorry I couldn't do something special yesterday," lamented Cipollini after the stage, "it's always been my dream to win a prologue, but that gave us (Acqua&Sapone) more desire to win today. The team did great work; they always make the difference for me. This was a very dangerous circuit today so I put my guys up front early and that made the difference."

With 200 meters to go, McEwen jumped early from behind, trying to surprise Cipollini, but his last lead out man Lombardi swerved hard right, forcing McEwen wide and perhaps costing him the stage win. Lombardi was relegated to last man in the front group, while McEwen said "He went right up on me, he should have been DQ'ed."
The wild finish saw a big crash with 1.5 km to go on the tight 5 km finishing circuit, that split the group in three, with Michele Bartoli (Fassa Bortolo) the biggest loser. Bartoli abandoned and was taken away in an ambulance with a suspected broken right femur. Among the Giro favourites, only Simoni and Garzelli finished up front, while Casagrande, Frigo and Hamilton lost 25", Marco Pantani and Pavel Tonkov 32" with Davide Rebellin and Michael Boogerd 47" back.
Slow day
 |
The day began in Groningen at noon under cool, overcast skies and a peloton that was not anxious to race. The first three hours were run at the pedestrian pace of 34 km/h on the totally flat course that ran down to the Dutch / German border, through Westphalia and along the Ems River to Münster, finishing with three laps of a fast 5 km criterium course that would decide the race.
With the Intergiro sprint at 52km to go, Acqua&Sapone rode tempo and Lombardi led Cipo out to win the sprint and the 6" time bonus, putting Mario within 9" of race leader Juan Carlos Dominguez (Phonak) and in reach of the Maglia Rosa with the stage wins' 12" time bonus.
With his win, Cipollini has the race lead, but with tomorrow's 209 km stage 2 from Köln to Liege and the same tough finale as Liege-Bastogne-Liege, look for '02 L-B-L winner Paolo Bettini (Mapei-Quick Step), only 20" back in 5th place G.C. to make his bid over the Cote St.Nicolas with 7 km to go to dump Cipollini and take the race lead. Bettini may succeed, but Cipo may have the last word; "It would be good to have the Maglia Rosa when we go back to Italy", said the terrible Tuscan and with stage 3 and 4 designed for sprinters, look for Cipo and his zebra striped A&S boys to try and keep their Maglia Rosa.
