Stage 6 - March 18: Sure Teramo-Torricella, 179 km
Di Luca takes control, Bettini runs out of luck
 |
The final stages of Tirreno-Adriatico are at hand, and today the peloton wasted no time on the way to the stage finish in Torricella Sicura. Saeco's Danilo Di Luca, who spared no words in expressing his disappointment over the cancellation of stage 4, took his revenge by outsprinting Filippo Pozzato (Fassa Bortolo) and Michael Boogerd (Rabobank). In winning the stage, Di Luca also swiped the race lead from Paolo Bettini (Quick-Step), who was caught up behind a crash in the final 600 metres, losing a critical 20 seconds.
"We went from a long way out, around 300 metres," Di Luca said of the final sprint. "This is a good victory for me, and it's brought me good fortune. Yesterday's stage was very frustrating; Saeco worked all day and in the end we were left behind. Today we redeemed ourselves. We've been active in every stage, and taking the initiative paid off."
With time gaps in the general classification relatively small, overall leader Bettini was attentive all day, following a number of early attacks. Andres Klier (Telekom) was the most active of the early attackers, trying his luck in three successive moves within the first 20km of racing. The third attack snapped the elastic from a group of 16, and Klier pulled five riders with him ahead of the first intermediate sprint, including Bettini. The Quick-Step leader proved fastest of the five at the sprint, and added a few seconds to his overall lead before the break was reeled in by the speeding peloton, averaging 40.5 km/h for the first hour.

At the 54 km mark the peloton tackled the summit of the San Giacomo, and it was Yaroslav Popovych taking the points ahead of Jan Hruska and Daniele Contrini. By this point the peloton had let the group gain an advantage of over four minutes, which down the road would stretch to 5'12". Popovych once again took the next intermediate sprint, this time getting a gap over Hruska (who soon rejoined) and almost a minute on Contrini. Under the pressure of Bettini's Quick-Step squad, however, the advantage of the splintering lead group begin to fall.
Into the finishing circuit in Torricella Sicura, Popovych and Hruska sat up to let Rafael Perez make contact, but the additional rider wasn't enough to keep the peloton at bay. A general regrouping took place on the second lap of the circuit, before several counter attacks re-animated the race. Michael Boogerd tried to break clear of a nine man attack, but was reeled in while the break was absorbed by the peloton.
Six hundred metres from the line Rabobank's Oscar Freire went down, forcing race leader Bettini to stop and watch his grip on the race disappear. "It's a shame to lose a race like Tirreno Adriatico because of a crash," Bettini said at the finish. "It's not good for a race as important as Tirreno Adriatico to end like this..."

With one stage remaining, Di Luca now holds a slender lead of just one second over fellow Italian Pozzato, and 9" on Boogerd, as Bettini dropped to seventh.
