87th Giro d'Italia - Grand TourItaly, May 8-30, 2004Main Page Results Stage profile Live report Previous Stage Next Stage Stage 3 - May 11: Pontremoli - Corno Alle Scale, 191 kmHome Field Advantage: Simoni soars to stage win & maglia rosaGarzelli Loses GroundBy Tim Maloney, European Editor With the snow covered crinale of Corno alle Scale shining in the background, where famed Italian ski champion Alberto Tomba learned to ski, defending Giro d'Italia cycling champion Gilberto Simoni rode to a solo stage win and donned his favourite pink jersey today as he assumed race leadership of the Giro d'Italia. Simoni and his runaway red train of Team Saeco clearly demonstrated that the not only have the strongest squad at the Giro, but with teammates Damiano Cunego's runner-up spot, they have the two strongest riders in the race. Crossing the finish line as he pointed to his Saeco sponsors name on his jersey, a delighted Gibo Simoni explained that "I couldn't let anything else happen today." The hardheaded mountain man from Trentino was determined to win today and he and his Saeco boys had extra motivation, as the appliance firm's HQ is located just down the mountain from the finish. Simoni further explained that "We had a special responsibility today; Saeco even closed their factory and so everyone was (at the finish) today. So with me and Cunego first and second today, we did our job well." Before Stage 3, Stefano Garzelli (Vini Caldirola) was ready to battle Simoni to the end, he just didn't have the legs to do it. "I wouldn't say I went 'piano'. I knew that the last three kilometres were steep, made for Simoni... So I'm happy how I was able to come back at the end." Garzelli lost 34" on the stage to Simoni and with the 20" bonus earned by the Saeco man, last year's Giro runner-up is now 1'05" behind Simoni on GC after only 3 stages. Simoni's Saeco teammate Cunego was second today and in in second place on GC, 13" behind Simoni. "I was glad I was able to help the team and Simoni," said Cunego. "We saw a really strong Simoni today and I'm happy for him and all my teammates that we could win here. I attacked early to prepare for Simoni's attack and then stayed with the chasers Popovych and Pellizotti to make sure they didn't gain time on Gilberto." Ukrainian Yaroslav Popovych (Colnago-Landbouwkrediet) was 5th today and didn't gain any time bonuses. Popo pounded a big gear and did most of the chasing behind Simoni on the steep final ramps of Corno alle Scale until he faltered slightly with 1.5km to go. The Colnago man is now third on GC, 21" behind Simoni. Although tipped for a stage win this morning, current World Cup leader Davide Rebellin (Gerolsteiner) was only 17th today, just behind young Panaria climber Emmauele Sella. None of the usually active Colombian climbers liked the cool, steep climb to the summit of Corno alle Scale today and were not a factor on the stage. Although he hung tough until the steep slopes with 4km to go, Brad McGee (FDJeux.com) had to hand his pink jersey over to Simoni today. McGee was a respectable 42nd on the day and is now 22nd on GC, 1'54" behind the Italian. How it unfoldedThe 167 riders in the Giro took the start at 12:05 in Pontremoli, without Gasperoni and Bennati, who abandoned yesterday. Tenax man Renzo Mazzoleni got away on the small climb out of Gassano after 36km and there was little initiative to chase him. Little brother of Saeco man Eddy, Renzo gained time quickly and at the first GPM of the day at Foce Carpinelli after 53km, he had over 10 minutes. The fugitive's maximum lead was 16'05 in Ponte di Campia after 88 km, but Saeco, Gerolsteiner and FDJeux.com began to ride on the front. On the road to Bagni di Luca at the Intergiro in Fornaci di Barga after 95km, leader Mazzoleni still had 14'14" with the average speed an easy 34km/hr. Strazzer and Svorada took second & third, almost a quarter of an hour after the Tenax rider. With D'Amore finishing fourth, the Acqua & Sapone man took over the lead in the Intergiro competition. With 75 km to go approaching GPM #2 at Passo di Oppio, Mazzoleni had 13'20" lead but it was dropping as the gradient increased. His diesse Mario Chiesa,himself a long break artist when he was a pro, encouraged the rider from Bergamo. At the summit of Oppio pass with 55km to race, after 110km away, Mazzoleni still had a lead of 9'15". The battle for the KOM points behind was won by Wegmann over Marzoli, and down the long descent of Oppio, Eddy's brother Renzo slowed as his brother and his teammates in the treno rosso of Saeco cranked up the chase pace behind. In Poretta Terme, where Wednesday's stage starts and 30km to race in today's race, and after 120+ km away solo, Mazzoleni was cramping lead had dropped to 7'00 on the ever more difficult "mangia e bevi" (up and down) mountain roads in the hinterlands near Bologna. The Giro was well behind the slowest time schedule but the speed behind was increasing from the forcing of Saeco. At Silla, where the first slopes began with 27km to go, Mazzoleni was hanging on with 6'00 lead, but with Gaggio Montano, Saeco's headquarters just up the road on the way to the Corno alle Scale finish, il treno rosso decided to up the pace behind the Tenax fugitive. Mazzoleni was losing ground fast to Saeco and the rest of the peloton. In Gaggio Montano, no one even could stop for a cup of espresso from Saeco, as Mazzoleni still had a lead of 3'00 on the chasing peloton that was still 120 riders strong, while sprinters like Quaranta, Cipollini and finally Petacchi had dropped off. Vini Caldirola had moved up behind Saeco. Cruel reality finally caught up with Mazzoleni with 16km to go outside Querciola after his superb TV breakaway of more than 140 km. There were still almost 100 riders together as the Giro returned gruppo compatto, with Saeco's Bertagnoli, Simoni, Mazzoleni and Cunego lined-up in front. De Nardi's Giordani attacked and was joined by another Tenax rider, Loda. But the seven man left in Saeco's treno rosso wasn't letting the duo out of sight and as the easy part of the climb ended at Villagio Europa, they had 10 seconds. Long, lean Roman rider Leo Giordani, U23 World Champ in '99, dumped Loda and went solo but he was sucked up by Saeco. Then Muraglia (Formaggio Pinzolo Fiave') made a move and got a little lead as World Champ Astarloa was dropped with 11km to go. Saeco's terrible train had reduced the chase to forty riders. Saeco flipped their helmets off and send Tonti to the front as Muraglia came back after 4km of liberty after the village of La Ca. With 7km it was Tonti, Szymd, Simoni, Cunego, with Popovych, Garzelli and Rebellin just behind. The sun had gone behind the high clouds and the temperatures dropped as the altitude was now over 1,000m. above sea level and the snowcapped summit glistened almost 500m. above the chestnut lined road. Everyone was following Saeco's red train until the last 3km, when the gradient increased and the key moves would happen. Forty riders were still together with 5km to go, and Simoni dropped back behind to check out Garzelli as Cunego moved up in the Saeco train. Tonti hung tough up front with Mazzoleni just behind as Maglia Rosa McGee came out the back with 4km to go. Eddy Mazzoleni hit the front at Madonna delle Aceri and as he upped the pace, he set up Cunego for a perfect attack. The young Saeco man got a gap, but suddenly, Gibo Simoni made his own move and blasted right up to Cunego and passed him. All the training on the tough climb to prepare the day paid off, as once again, it was a Saeco double team move that worked perfectly as Simoni flew the coop. Cunego stayed with the rest of the chasers led strongly by Popovych, with Pellizzotti and Figueras in the Colnago man's wake as Garzelli struggled in the second chase group. Simoni went under the last kilometre arch with 30" on his chasers but on the home stretch, they pulled back some time. Gibo won the day and a 20" time bonus, while Cunego beat the other chasers and grabbed a 12" gift of his own. Saeco has now got a vice-grip on the 2004 Giro d'Italia and it's difficult to imagine the tenacious Trentino Simoni giving up the race lead going forward. Stage 4 - May 12: Porretta Terme-Civitella Val di Chiana, 184kmThis one may look like one for the sprinters as the Giro continues to head south across the Appenine mountains and into the home of the famous costate fiorentina steaks from Chianina steers. Cipo and Petacchi will be looking to renew their sprint rivalry on Tuscan home turf, but a small break could make it home free to Arezzo on the small, winding roads if they can hang on for the two 11.4km finishing circuits.
