Petacchi leads with 500m to go, Lombardi gets ready to lead out. He does, with
Cipo on his wheel. McEwen is right there. Cipollini goes early and wins in front
of McEwen and Zabel. Fantastically strong sprint, and fantastic teamwork by
the Italians. All of them salute as they see Cipollini cross the line with his
arms raised.
Scott Sunderland "This was THE all time sprint of SPRINTS. Of all the Giro's, the Tour of France!!! Cipollini is the greatest world champion! He was going away from McEwen! He was absolutely SUPER."
Allan Peiper "A fantastic sprint; awesome, to big for words really. The strongest man in the peloton has won. Cipollini has stated his absolute supremacy, his 180th win! 35 years old! Bettini already had his arms in the air 150 metres away from the finish."
