Ecco Fatto: Simoni reigns on Zoncolan
Pantani getting better every day
By Tim Maloney, European Editor in Zoncolan
 |
Like the hand lettered signs along the mountain roads of Friuli had predicted, "Sopressa e Pan; Simoni Vince sul Zoncolan." (Salame and Bread; Simoni wins on Zoncolan).
Among the raw, ugly peaks of the Alpe Carniche, today the long awaited Monte Zoncolan that made a brutal selection today in the final 3km the Giro d'Italia's Stage 12. The twisted faces of the riders who made Herculean efforts to race up the incredible gradient of Zoncolan saw one of the most spectacular races in recent memory, but Maglia Rosa Gilberto Simoni (Saeco) made it look almost easy.
"This climb was too hard", said an exhausted but jubilant Gilberto Simoni after winning the stage today and solidifying his lead over Stefano Garzelli, who finished second on the tough stage. "I wasn't on a great day. I guess I was tired from the efforts of last few days. It got so steep that I wanted to put my foot down and push the bike", joked Simoni in the post race press conference.
But Simoni wasn't that satisfied with his performance today. Despite the fact that he's done the Zoncolan twice in training, Simoni expected to gain more time on Garzelli today. "I'm looking forward to (Saturday's stage) Alpe di Pampeago because there is a lot of climbing there and I know those mountains well."
Indeed, Pampeago is only 20km from Gibo's hometown of Palu' di Giovo and the ascents will undoubtedly be lined with thousands of Trentino tifosi screaming "Vai Gibo" at the Maglia Rosa.
In front of the huge crowds today on Monte Zoncolan, Marco Pantani found further redemption at this year's Giro. Pantani had a courageous ride today for fifth place, 42" behind Simoni. "I didn't expect to ride this well today," he said post-stage. "It was really surprising to me."
 |
His face contorted like Lex Luthor attacking Superman, Pantani went head to head with Garzelli up the last 3km of Zoncolan, and was only passed in the final meters by Casagrande and the ever-improving Yaroslav Popovych. Popo showed he is the real deal today. The second year pro is Ernesto Colnago's golden boy, and the talented Ukrainian was fourth on Monte Zoncolan and rode into great fourth place on GC, 3'00 behind Simoni.
Stefano Garzelli was happy after his runner-up spot on Monte Zoncolan, as he didn't end up losing too much time on Maglia Rosa Simoni. "It was a great day for cycling and a great day for me...plus a great day for Pantani," said Garzelli. "I was really happy to see him up there," said Garzelli of his former teammate.
37 year old Roberto Conti of Mercatone Uno, Pantani's faithful lieutenant was equally pleased to see the return of Marco. "I'm really proud of him. (Pantani) has gone through a lot the past three years and it's great to see him so good again."
How it unfolded
 |
On a beautiful spring morning in Moreno Argentin's home town of San Dona', along the banks of the Piave River, a tense peloton rolled out of town towards the brutal peaks of the Alpe Carniche near Italy's border with Austria. Mario Cipollini was a non starter, his shoulder was badly bruised and almost dislocated from Wednesday's crash in the final turn in San Dona', so he returned home to Tuscany.
With a strong tailwind, Saeco was on the front from the start riding regular tempo but they wanted a break to go. The first hour was covered in 40.8 km/h and soon afterwards, as the plotone crossed the Tagliamento River, a break of seven was away.
Bo Hamburger and Baliani (Formaggio Pinzolo Fiave) were joined by Adyeyev (Colnago-Landbouwkrediet), Zaballa Gutierrez and Adolfo Garcia Quesada (Kelme) and Zanetti (Tenax). With no serious contenders in the group, these six rolled to a 3'00 lead at the Intergiro in San Daniele di Friuli, where they didn't even stop for a prosciutto pannino. Baliani and Hamburger took the bonuses and protected their teammate DiBiase's lead from the onslaught of the gigantic Swede Magnus Bäckstedt (fakta-Pata Chips).
With the break's lead falling to 2'20" and the first climb of the day approaching, the group was nervous and in the town of Tolmezzo, 5 km from the ascent, a crash took out climber Tiralongo (Panaria) and Cristian Moreni (Alessio), who both had to abandon. Moreni was later reported with a broken collarbone from his crash.
 |
With the tailwind and flat Friuli terrain, the first three hours were ridden at an average pace of 42.250 km/h. As the chase group hit the bottom of the steep Fuessa climb, local lad Marzio Bruseghin (Fassa Bortolo) hit the gas and blasted out of the chase, bridging up and past the splintering break to hit the first GPM first, ahead of Maglia Verde Speedy Gonzalez (Colombia-Selle Italia), with the remains of the break strewn across the mountain, while the gruppo Maglia Rosa was at 2'15".
Bruseghin is from Capella Maggiore, on the border of Veneto and Friuli and he's a powerful climber who spent the last three years at iBanesto.com and knows the roads of the Alpe Carniche well from long training rides. He totally bombed the long, tricky descent through Lauco and gained major time, hitting the main road at the base of the climb at 43 km to go with 2'00 lead.
Behind the marvelous Marzio, a chase group of 11 formed from remnants of the break and some audacious attackers who followed Bruseghin. With 30km to go in Comeglians, at the foot of the penultimate climb of Selle Valcalda, Bruseghin had 2'00 on the chasers and 3'00 on the Saeco-led gruppo Maglia Rosa.
 |
Lampre was playing a smart game today; D.S. Pietro Algeri sent Wladimir Belli on the Fuessa to get up the road for Francesco Casagrande and the tough, experienced Belli pounded hard behind Bruseghin. At the GPM of Valcalda, with 25km to go, Maglia Verde Speedy Gonzalez had jumped up to take the GPM points 45" behind Bruseghin, while Belli and Garcia Quesada were another 10" back.
Back down the valley towards Sutrio with 15km to race, and near the base of Monte Zoncolan, Bruseghin had 1'00 on a now regrouped chase, and 2'30" on the gruppo Maglia Rosa, still led by Saeco's red train. As the final climb up to the redoubtable Monte Zoncolan started, Bruseghin still had 1'00, but Belli attacked the chase and went after the Fassa Bortolo rider alone.
With 8 km to go, Belli caught Bruseghin while the Mercatone Uno led chase group of 20 riders was at 45". Pantani was feeling good and had his man Gasperoni riding tempo up front, while Maglia Rosa Simoni was isolated in the chase. Once Gasperoni dropped off, Garzelli's man Mazzoleni hit the front and upped the pace.
 |
When Belli hit the left turn at the ski area parking lot, he had a 25" lead while the Maglia Rosa's group was down to 10 riders. As soon as the steep part of the final, terrible ramp of Zoncolan began, Simoni flew the coop and blew by Belli. Behind, Garzelli, Casagrande and Popovych tried to keep the Maglia Rosa close, while Marco Pantani began his incredible, terrible march up Zoncolan. Hands on the drops, his face contorted in agony, Pantani rode one of his finest races ever to pass Casagrande and Popovych and challenge Garzelli, but he faded in the last 200 meters where fast closing Casagrande and Popovych both caught him.
Simoni now has 44" on GC over Garzelli, which should enable the tough Trentino to possibly gain more time on Garzelli Saturday. Noè' is lurking in no-man's land 2'23" back, while ambitious Popovych has a good chance to ride past him after Sunday's TT if his form continues. Lampre's duo Casagrande and Rumsas ought to swap places as the Lithuanian is a superb tester. Marco Pantani is in 9th, and his goal to win a stage in this year's Giro seems closer as his form improves.
Stage 13 - May 23: Pordenone-Marostica 149km
It will be another fast transitional stage across the Veneto region to Marostica, famous for its tasty cherries and the bi-annual Partita di Scacchi (human chess match). With three final circuits up the Rosina climb, look for an opportunist rider to make a late move, while "I Big" like Simoni and Garzelli will undoubtedly be waiting for Saturday's long, difficult stage to Alpe di Pampeago.
