Stage 5 - March 17: Monte San Giusto-Rapagnano, 181 km
Marzoli wins, Bettini stays, Mori thrown out
 |
Alessio's Ruggero Marzoli has won the fifth stage of Tirreno-Adriatico, which ended with an uphill bunch sprint in Rapagnano. Marzoli beat a disappointed Luca Paolini (Quick.Step) and Michael Boogerd (Rabobank), with Paolini moving up to second overall on GC behind team captain Paolo Bettini.
"I am quite sorry about my second place result today," said Paolini. "As I'm sure I could have won the stage. I had to waste lots of energy in closing the gap between Pozzato and Zabel during the final kilometre and then to catch up with Di Luca, Marzoli and Boogerd who were ahead of me. I managed to catch up with them and launch the final sprint, but I paid the price of using this energy up during the final metres of the race when Marzoli got the better of me."

After yesterday's stage was cancelled due to the bad weather, most of the riders were considerably fresher today as a result. Save for Massimiliano Mori (Formaggi Pinzolo Fiave), who was thrown off the race together with his assistant team director Gabriele Di Francesco, for trying to avoid a UCI doping test on Sunday night. The UCI had carried out blood tests on a few teams, including Formaggi Pinzolo Fiave on Sunday morning, but the medical inspectors decided to test Mori again in the evening. He will probably face sanctions for avoiding a dope test, which is equivalent to failing one.
The first attack of the day was made after 16 kilometres, was made by Ief Verbrugghe (Lotto-Domo), who was joined by Andreas Klier (Telekom), Janek Tombak (Cofidis) and Julian Dean (CSC). The peloton was quickly onto them and the attack was nullified. Five kilometres later an attack by Sergiy Matveyev (Panaria) succeeded in getting clear. He was chased initially by Tombak, Gryschenko, Ferrara, Giordani and Beuchat, before Gryschenko got together with Aldag and Gasparre to try and mount a chase.

After 48 kilometres, Matveyev crossed the finish line in Rapagnano for the first time with a 2'00 advantage on Gryschenko's trio, which was promptly swallowed by the peloton. Matveyev continued to build on his lead in the second lap, as the peloton knew he would burn himself out on the tough circuit. By kilometre 80, the Ukrainian had gained 6'20 on the peloton, but that was as far as he was able to achieve.
He held this six minute lead as he rode through Rapagnano for the second time, having covered 92 kilometres. Behind him the peloton was picking up speed, with Danish rider Nicki Sorensen (CSC) attacking on the third lap to try and catch Matveyev on his own. In 15 km, Sorensen brought the gap down to 3'40, but was not far enough in front of the peloton for his counter-attack to succeed.
Matveyev did stay away long enough to win the mountain points on the climb of Montegranaro (km 123), crossing with 1'38 lead on mountains leader Elio Aggiano (Formaggi Pinzolo), Ruggero Marzoli (Alessio), and Eugeni Petrov (iBanesto). The peloton was being led by Saeco at this point, hoping to set things up for a Danilo Di Luca victory.

The Panaria rider's attack came to an end just after the sprint at Torre San Patrizio (km 130.1), where he preceded Di Luca, Bettini and Sciandri. Once he was caught he was quickly dropped, and finished the stage in 132nd position, 16'07 down on the winner.
The last 30 kilometres were full of attacks, with a group of 14 riders including Rumsas, Ferrara, Hruska and Wauters going clear before being caught by a group of six, and then the rest of the peloton at 24 km to go. At this point, Juan Antonio Flecha (iBanesto.com) and Oscar Mason (Sidermec) tried an immediate counter-attack, gaining 20 seconds on the last long, uphill run to Rapagnano. They were chased by Giampaolo Caruso (ONCE), Angel Vicioso (Kelme) and Michael Rogers (Quick.Step), with the still large peloton breathing down their necks.
At 12 km to go, the leading pair had 15" on the three chasers, and 24" to the peloton. Mason couldn't continue in front however, leaving Flecha to try and do it on his own. Flecha had 20 seconds as he went under the flamme rouge (1 km to go), but blew up and was caught by the flying peloton with 400m to go. The uphill sprint was won by Ruggero Marzoli in front of Luca Paolini (Quick.Step), Michael Boogerd (Rabobank) and Andrea Ferrigato (Alessio). Race leader Paolo Bettini finished 10th and kept hold of his jersey by just 1 second to his teammate Paolini.

Bettini is still suffering from sickness that cut short his preparation for this race. "Yesterday afternoon I had a sore throat and started getting a high temperature," he said. "This morning I still had a bit of a temperature but even so I wanted to take part in the race. The first few kilometres of the race were very difficult, I was suffering with a bad headache and my legs felt very shaky. As time and the kilometres went by, things started to improve. I rode a defensive race and managed to hold onto my leadership. I’m feeling a lot better now and hope to fully recover. Tomorrow there will be a lot of battling to do!."
Tomorrow's sixth stage from Sure Teramo to Torricella is a tough one at 179 km, containing the 1334m climb of Ceppo at just over halfway. This climb rises roughly 800 metres in 15 km, and will certainly test everyone's legs, including Bettini's.
