Stage 16 - May 29: Conegliano-Corvara in Badia, 163 km
Evans takes over Maglia Rosa
Perez Cuapio wins 'Il Tappone"
By Tim Maloney, European editor

Today was 'il tappone", the hardest mountain stage in the '02 Giro d'Italia and the way it finally worked out, despite all the prior scandal and controversy, Stage 16 demonstrated the spectacle of cycling at its best and showed why the Giro d'Italia is truly a Grand Tour.
On today's sunny late spring day among the sparkling peaks and puffy white clouds of the legendary Italian Dolomiti climbs, hundreds of thousands of cycling fans from all over the world witnessed a rite of passage as 37 year old German Jens Heppner (Telekom) passed his Maglia Rosa of race leadership after 11 noble days over to 25 year old Australian Cadel Evans (Mapei-Quick Step) in Corvara in Badia.
Heppner, the tough as leather veteran of the old school DDR cycling finally surrendered his pink tunic to a decidedly new school former mountain bike champion from Down Under who only came to the Giro to work for his former team leader Stefano Garzelli, booted from the race for a positive drug test.
"I can't express how happy I am", said Evans after the race. "This kind of thing has always been a dream for me," said the emotion-choked Melbournian soon after donning his first Maglia Rosa. But Evans' Maglia Rosa is no accident; he's showed his talent by racing at a world class level for almost a decade.
 |
Another happy rider was magic Mexican Julio Perez Cuapio (Panaria-Fiordo), the 25 year old climber from Tlaxcala, Mexico. Perez Cuapio not only won the stage with a 50km solo exploit over three mountain passes, reminiscent of great climbers of history like Federico Bahamontes or Charly Gaul, he rightly took over the Maglia Verde of best climber at this year's Giro.
"When I attacked (on Passo Fedaia), I just wanted to get mountain points," said the smiling Perez Cuapio, who has become one of the most popular riders in the peloton. "My direttore sportivo (Roberto Reverberi) didn't want me to go so soon but I felt good..."
As Perez Cuapio crossed the line in Corvara for his second '02 Giro stage win and 5th career pro win, the extrovert Tlaxcalan flashed first four fingers ('we only have 4 Panaria riders left in the race') and then two fingers ('it was my second win').
Tyler Hamilton (CSC-Tiscali) and Dario Frigo (Tacconi Sport-Emmegi) were the best of the rest today; although Hamilton had some difficulties on the steep Fedaia, he and his red and white clad CSC-Tiscali team rode an intelligent, tenacious race to stay right with Evans.
Frigo had a good day at the office on Stage 16; the blonde all-rounder forced the pace often on the penultimate Pordoi ascent but couldn't drop Evans or Hamilton. Paolo Savoldelli (Index-Alexia) had an excellent ride to finish runner-up. Savoldelli, nicknamed 'The Falcon" swooped down the last two descents and caught and dropped Alessio's Pietro Caucchioli, spoiling the Caucchioli's brave solo bid to take the Maglia Rosa for himself.
How it unfolded
 |
Caucchioli's Alessio team had a brilliant tactical plan today to put the peroxide blond from Verona into the race lead that almost worked. When a 22 strong group got away after 65km fast, wind and attack assisted racing after 65 km, there were three strong Alessio guys up the road; Di Paoli, Moreni and Bertolini among them. Behind at the head of the group, Telekom wasn't defending hard man Heppe Heppner's lead any more, so Gerolsteiner rode hard tempo for Georg Totschnig. The fast pace began to take a toll and before the ascent up the Passo Fedaia, Marco Pantani, suffering from bronchitis and feeling weak from antibiotics, climbed off his bike and into the Mercatone Uno team car with d.s. Marino Amadori, retiring from the 2002 Giro d'Italia.
Up the Fedaia via the old road through the narrow gorge of Serrai de Sottoguda, Alessio's Di Paoli put the hammer down and blew the break to bits. Only Moreni and young Rabobank climber Addy Engels could stay with him, with the chase group of 40 riders 2'30" behind. Heppner was struggling at the back of this chase group, while Perez and Caucchioli's were making tempo. As the steep stretch to Malga Cialpa began, Perez took off and Evans was right on his wheel. Hamilton, riding at the back of the now 20 rider group didn't like the sudden acceleration and lost contact.
 |
At the summit of the Fedaia with 45km to race, Alessio's strategy was unfolding. Di Paoli had 21" seconds on the fast-closing Perez, who had to slalom through a Mexican traffic jam of race vehicles before he got across to the Alessio rider. Evans led a group of seven, including Frigo, Savoldelli, Caucchioli and Aitor Gonzalez (Kelme) at 1'06", with Hamilton, three team-mates (Sastre, Cerezo and Rasmussen) and eight others at 2'22" with Maglia Rosa Heppner at 3'00.
Hamilton showed his smarts by putting all three teammates up front to close the 1'00 gap on the descent while the Evans group didn't bomb the descent to Canazei, where eventually 29 riders came together (including Heppner), 1'30" behind Perez and Di Paoli. With the ascent of the Pordoi at hand, Alessio showed their hand by sending Caucchioli, who was their top man on GC in 6th, 1'20" behind Heppner, 32" behind Evans. The gamble was for Caucchioli to get enough time on Evans to take the Maglia Rosa.
Things looked promising for Alessio with Caucchioli climbing strongly in a small gear, but by the time he caught Di Paoli, his team-mate was cooked and couldn't help him. Caucchioli was virtual maglia rosa at the summit of Cima Coppi, Passo Pordoi, highest point of the Giro. Perez was 1'24" up on him, with the Evans group at 2'22", where Frigo's forcing was taking its toll.
 |
Over the top of Pordoi, Savoldelli made his move after Caucchioli, who is not known as a strong descender. By the base of the 10km descent off the Pordoi with only 10km and a final climb up Campolongo and the descent to Corvara left to race, it was a real nail biter. Perez was still raging up front, with Caucchioli fading a bit 1'35" behind, Savoldelli closing at 1'45" and the Evans group at 2'10". As Perez rode into Corvara, Savoldelli caught and dropped Caucchioli for runner-up spot while Frigo won the sprint for 3rd, with Caucchioli finishing 8th.
Thursday's 222 km Stage 17 from Corvara in Badia to Folgaria will be another tough test for the Giro contenders. A long mountain stage begins with the climbs of Passo Gardena (2121m/9.5km long/5.9% avg.) and Passo Sella (2213m/5.3km long/8.1% avg) in quick succession, followed by a gradual descent until km 163 when the climbing starts anew. Monte Bondone (1650m/19.5km long/7.5% avg), Santa Barbara (1165m/13km long/8.3% avg) are followed by the long finishing climb to Folgaria (1340m/14.8km long/7.8% avg), the last mountain top finish in the Giro. Stage 17 will be won by the rider with the most 'fondo"; the greatest strength to hang on over long distances.
