Stage 7 - March 19: San Benedetto Del Tronto - San Benedetto Del Tronto, 162 km
Freire beats the World Champ
Pozzato overtakes Di Luca for leader's jersey
 |
Rabobank's Oscar Freire has scored a morale boosting win in the final stage of Tirreno-Adriatico, which ended in a bunch sprint in San Benedetto del Tronto. The Spaniard beat a surprised Mario Cipollini (Domina Vacanze), the reigning World Champion who has already won two stages. In third place was Erik Zabel (Telekom), who also showed that he is a force to be reckoned with on Saturday.
"An error by Cipo," chuckled Freire afterwards, who also named Cipollini as the number one favourite for Milan-San Remo on Saturday.
In the end, the final overall classification was decided by bonus seconds, with stage 1 winner Filippo Pozzato (Fassa Bortolo) gaining enough time in the intermediate sprints to overtake race leader Danilo di Luca (Saeco), who was forced to settle for second place. It was Pozzato's biggest win to date, and the Fassa Bortolo rising star will be a great asset to the team which is riding for Alessandro Petacchi on Saturday.
Pozzato remained modest about his own ambitions, saying that "I don't want to have too many dreams now. One day I hope I'll be strong enough to win Milan-San Remo or the World Championship. I think that those races suit me.
How it unfolded
 |
The final stage started in San Benedetto del Tronto with 131 riders still left in the race. Only Alessio teammates Fabio Baldato and Enrico Cassani did not start, the latter because his wife had just given birth to a baby girl. The early tempo was quite slow, with the riders averaging a little over 28 km/h for the first two hours. At the mountain sprint at Montalto delle Marche (km 61.5), Bo Hamburger (Formaggi) crossed the summit first in front of his teammate Fortunato Baliani, with Nicki Sorensen (CSC) taking third.
After the top of the climb, eight riders managed to get a small gap: Ruggero Marzoli (Alessio), Bo Hamburger, Fortunato Baliani, Rinaldo Nocentini (all Formaggi), Yaroslav Popovych (Landbouwkrediet), Raimondas Rumsas, Mariano Piccoli (Lampre) and Nicki Sorensen (CSC). The group reached a maximum lead of 30 seconds, before being chased down by the Rabobank-led peloton. Rumsas was the last to be recaptured.
A potentially dangerous attack by Ruslan Ivanov (Alessio) and Quick.Step's Paolo Bettini and Luca Paolini went clear at kilometre 80, gaining a maximum of 25 seconds lead before being nullified 15 km later. By this stage, the Fassa Bortolo riders had the peloton under control as they sped down towards San Benedetto delo Tronto for six laps of a 9 km circuit.
The first time bonus sprint was on the second lap, and it was Paolo Bettini (Quick.Step) who took the three seconds bonus ahead of Pozzato (2") and Paolini (1"). This effectively gave Pozzato the lead, as he only needed 1 second to overtake Di Luca. The pace lifted on the next two laps in preparation for the second sprint, with Pozzato claiming it ahead of Marzoli and Markus Zberg. Pozzato was now four seconds clear of Di Luca, who would need a first or second placing in the stage to take back his leader's jersey.
 |
Over the last two laps the pace increased further, with many attempts by riders to break away. All of them were caught, and the Fassa Bortolo and Domina Vacanze teams prepared for a mass sprint. The expectations were that Cipollini would take another stage win, and that's exactly what the Lion King thought as he raised his arms approaching the line. But Oscar Freire managed to slip around him on the left side, to steal the victory from under Cipollini's nose.
Further back, Danilo Di Luca rolled across in 36th position, disappointed that he had lost the race by just four seconds to Pozzato. However had Paolo Bettini not been caught up behind a crash at the finish of stage 6, the Quick.Step rider might well have been declared the winner today.
