Stage 7 - May 17: Avezzano-Terminillo, 146 km
Selection on Terminillo shakes up Giro
By Tim Maloney, European Editor
 |
"I realized that today is May 17th and last year on May 17th, I won (the Giro d'Italia stage) at Limone Piemonte. Three hours later, my entire world was turned upside-down (with the news of Garzelli's positive test for probenecid). So it's one year exactly and to have the Maglia Rosa again on May 17th of this year this is something really big for me."
One year later, Stefano Garzelli (Vini Caldirola-So.Di) sprinted to victory on Stage 7 of the 2003 Giro d'Italia, taking his 2nd stage win and donned the Maglia Rosa of race leadership. Garzelli and his chief rival Gilberto Simoni (Saeco) shook up the Giro from top to bottom on the first major climb of the Italian grand tour, Rome's mountain, Terminillo.
Garzelli and Simoni had an exciting mano a mano duel up the 14 km of the Terminillo, with Simoni finishing second behind the Vini Caldirola man and moving into 2nd on GC. Simoni said post-stage that "Garzelli and I were left together at the end of the stage; for better or worse, he's my number one adversary. We looked at each other but we never talked to see how each other was doing...I know (Garzelli) very well and he's a cagnaccio (tough guy). I gave it my maximum to get rid of Garzelli...but the climb wasn't tough enough to drop him. We made the selection today. A lot of things happened..."
With Simoni now only 31" behind Garzelli, the tough Trentino rider will await the steeper climbs in the Dolomiti of northern Italy next week to try and drop Garzelli and take over the Maglia Rosa before the TT in Bolzano a week from Sunday.

Alessio's Andrea Noe' was a surprising third on the stage, riding into third on GC as well. The lanky rider from Magenta, near Milano, explained post-race that "our team strategy was designed to just follow the strongest riders and it worked out well - I had good legs and now we'll see what happens."
Pavel Tonkov (CCC-Polsat) has had a tough Giro so far, but today, the tough Russian must have been inspired by his stage win on Terminillo 6 years ago. Despite his bad back and bad luck during the first week, the power and class of Tonkov brought him to fourth on the stage and sixth on GC. Tonkov's heir apparent Yaroslav Popovych (Colnago-Landbouwkredeit) was also great today. The 23 year old Ukrainian never wavered and followed the best riders until Simoni's attacks in the final kilometres, finishing 9th on the stage and riding into 8th on GC.
Shake down
 |
After a week of racing at the Giro, today's crucial stage sorted out the contenders from the pretenders in this year's Italian tour. Major rejection for Fassa Bortolo today. The Silver Team has enjoyed a week of grace with Ale Petacchi in the Maglia Rosa, but today it was time for GC contenders Dario Frigo and Aitor Gonzalez to show that they had what it takes to win the Giro. But as soon as the Terminillo ascent started, both Frigo and Gonzalez went out the back immediately and lost major time, with no chance to take final honours in Milano. Frigo is now 32nd on GC at 7'33", while the extremely disappointing Gonzalez is a long way from his Vuelta España winning form in 31st at 6'56".
Another big loser was Francesco Casagrande (Lampre), who came off soon after Pantani. The sourpuss Tuscan was perhaps the biggest flop of the day, as his climbing had been sharp all week, but when the road went up, Cecco went back, finishing 12th at 2'33 and ending up in 11th at 3'11. Casagrande's teammate Raimondas Rumsas was supposed to support the Italian rider, but it was Rumsas who had a solid ride today, finishing a fine 7th place on Terminillo and on overall GC. If Rumsas continues to improve his form, both Garzelli and Simoni will must consider the talented Lithuanian a threat for overall Giro honours.

Marco Pantani suffered like a dog today, but a noble dog. After yo-yoing off the main group for the first part of the Terminillo ascent, with his Mercatone Uno team support down to only Polish climber Sylvester Szmyd, Pantani definitively went out the back after 4 km but gave his all trying to limit the damage. "I'm still having trouble to follow the changes of rhythm on the climbs...plus the others are just stronger than me. It didn't seem to me that I had a good day today. Me and my entire team suffered today; it was the first big hit of the Giro for us."
Pantani lost almost 4'00 today and is now 19th on GC, 4'41" behind Maglia Rosa Garzelli.
Finally, Mexican climber Julio Perez Cuapio was another disappointment today. The Panaria rider couldn't hold the fast pace set by Vini Caldirola, but recovered somewhat to finish 12th on the stage and has the same GC position.
How in unfolded
 |
It was a cool late spring morning in Avezzano when the Giro d'Italia plotone headed out of town for the first moment of truth on the slopes of Terminillo. Despite his disappointing day yesterday, a smiling Mario Cipollini greeted thousands of his fans chanting "Cipo, Cipo."
It was a piano pace that the Giro riders started towards the first GPM after 23km in Valico Fonte Capo La Maina, where Kelme's Constantino Zaballa grabbed climbing points ahead of Colnago-Landbouwkrediet's emerging climber Ruslan Gryschenko. Across the verdant heartland of Abruzzo under partly cloudy skies, the first few hours of Stage 7 were run at an average of 35km/h, with Saeco riding tempo on the front controlling the race for Gilberto Simoni.
Sprinters like Maglia Rosa Petacchi and Panaria's Graeme Brown were working heard today for their climber teammates, going back and forth between the team cars and the group with their pockets filled water bottles. As Saeco's red train slowed slightly with 60km to go on the rolling country roads along the Lago del Salto, five riders managed to get away on a false flat. Bäckstedt (fakta-Pata Chips), Aggiano (Formaggi Pinzolo), Palumbo (Denardi-Colpack) and two Tenax riders, Frattini and Pozzi.
The break was looking to get to the Intergiro in Rieti ahead of the peloton and they dangled out front with a minute or so for 20km, where mega Magnus took the sprint over Aggiano in the medieval walled city. The plotone was at 1'18" and Intergiro leader Di Biase took the points for sixth with 28km to go.
Soon after Rieti, on the penultimate GPM climb of Castelfranco, Garzelli sent his Vini Caldirola team to the front to up the pace and quickly blew the plotone in two. Freddy Gonzalez took the points ahead of Zaballa, and as the front group descended to the base of the Terminillo climb.
As the 15km to go sign started, riders began to take their helmets off for the final ascent. Marco Pantani was the first to pop his top and the tifosi were rewarded with the chrome-dome look of the Pirata they know and love.
 |
Up the first slopes of Terminillo, Maglia Rosa Petacchi dropped quickly into the sprinters group, his pink dreams over once and for all. Up front, Garzelli's Vini Caldirola decided to put it to his rivals and upped the pace with teammate Eddy Mazzoleni pounding away on front as the first steep slopes began. Garzelli's first victims were the Fassa Bortolo pair of Frigo and Gonzalez, who were dropped one after the other.
Mazzoleni's terrible tempo started to blow Garzelli's rivals out the back. First Perez Cuapio and Figueras, then Pantani, then Casagrande and Belli. With 10km to go, the front group of nine was still headed by Mazzoleni with Garzelli on his wheel, then Gilberto Simoni and his Saeco teammate Sabaliauskas, Popovych, Rumsas (Lampre), Pellizotti and Noe' (Alessio), and Tonkov (CCC-Polsat).
With 7 km to go, Simoni decided to play his card and send Sabaliauskas to the front to up the pace. Pellizotti lost contact first, and a kilometre later, Simoni made his big move, attacking hard and blowing the group apart for good.
 |
At the 5km mark, it was Simoni and Garzelli, with Tonkov and Noe' at 10", Popovych, Mazzoleni Rumsas and Sabaliauskas at 20", Perez Cuapio and Totschnig at 1'00, with the chasing group of Casagrande at 2'. Pantani was suffering with his teammate Szmyd at 2'30" in a group containing Scott Sunderland and Wladimir Belli. Up front, Simoni and Garzelli were playing games, with the Saeco man accelerating to test the Vini Caldirola rider. This allowed Noe' to come back to the leading duo with 2.5km to go, with Tonkov also trying to get up to the front group.
The leading trio had now slowed their tempo and Popovych was leading the chase, with Mazzoleni, Rumsas and Sabaliauskas 30" back But at the 2 km mark, another hard attack by Simoni dumped Noe'. Like an energizer bunny, Noe' came back again and stayed with the leaders until the final sprint, won decisively by Stefano Garzelli to take both winner's bouquet and Maglia Rosa.
Stage 9 - May 18: Rieti-Arezzo, 214km
A long, rolling sprinter's stage up the centre of Italy from Abruzzo, through Umbria and into Tuscany. One third cat. GPM early, Intergiro after 167km in Citta di Castello, and then a tough, winding finish in Arezzo. Look for local rider Rinaldo Nocentini (Formaggio Pinzolo Fiave'), recent winner of the Giro del Toscana here to try and outfox the sprinters, but the inevitable mad dash to the line will see another Cipo-Petacchi duel and don't forget Robbie McEwen.
