Fast Freddy fakes out Petacchi to win
Rest day tomorrow
By Tim Maloney, European Editor

As the Giro d'Italia headed into its second week in the deep south of Italy, American Fred Rodriguez (Acqua e Sapone) managed to turn the tables on super sprinter Alessandro Petacchi (Fassa Bortolo), winning a tough uphill, headwind sprint and beating the Italian by a wheel. Petacchi's leadout man Marco Velo probably peeled off too late and Petacchi hesitated a bit as Rodriguez made a powerful early jump on the left to gap the Fassa man. After spraying the Carovigno crowd with fountains of spumante, a delighted Rodriguez said, "Today is a today I've been waiting for my whole life - I knew I could beat Petacchi last year and this year I was able to do it. It's been hard for (Acqua e Sapone) to get me in position in the sprints, but today I decided to go early and see what happened. This is the best win of my life!"
Today was the first Giro d'Italia stage win for an American since Tyler Hamilton took Stage 14's TT in 2002, and the first en-ligne Giro stage win for an American rider in 16 years, since Andy Hampsten took Stage 12 on June 3rd, 1988 in Selvino.

After losing Stage 9 today, Petacchi was pretty annoyed about his tactical error. "Well once in a while, anyone makes a mistake. Fred was smart to jump early and I probably should have gone earlier and risked a loss - but I waited and Rodriguez got two bike lengths on me. I came back really fast but it wasn't enough. He took the risk and he won." Fassa Bortolo's silver train just isn't firing on all cylinders without injured sprint engineer Guido Trenti, and it cost Petacchi his fifth stage win.
Before he took the plane north to the rest day in Porto Sant'Elpidio, Maglia Rosa Damiano Cunego said, "It was pretty hard today with all the wind and it was risky on the final circuits, but everything worked out well. Tomorrow, we're looking forward to our rest day. We deserve it! It will be nice to get away from the stress of the race for a day."
How it unfolded
|
The Giro d'Italia gruppo departed on time at 13:30 and the first few hours were run at less than 30km/hr. East into the strong headwind across the instep of the Italian boot and along the Gulf of Taranto, Stage 9 was at the most southern reaches of Italy. The Giro d'Italia gruppo had decided to take it easy on the short, flat stage. Although it was raining in the morning, a strong northeast wind cleared the skies for the 1pm start. The headwind was strong and it slowed the pace from the get-go. Halfway through the stage, the percorso turned inland just north of Taranto and headed uphill into Puglia through the olive groves, fruit orchards and curious cone shaped trulli houses towards Brindisi.
Robert Förster (Gerolsteiner) won the Intergiro after 61km in Massafra and 4 km later, Illiano (Colombia-Selle Italia) and Vanotti (DeNardi) took off into the headwind. The duo arrived in Martina Franca 20 minutes behind the slowest schedule and 1'30" ahead of the Fassa Bortolo led peloton. As the strong northeast wind picked up, Fassa upped the pace but the speed was still slow (30.6 km/h average) as the wind became a crosswind.
With 40km to go, the front duo had 1'30" as the wind had switched again and had become more of a tailwind. By 30km to go, the chase had pulled back 25" from the break and there were 15km to go until the finishing circuits in Carovigno. A kilometre later, a big crash put 50 riders on the deck. Colombia-Selle Italia's key climber Freddy Gonzalez, last year's Giro Maglia Verde (best climber) and the Most Combative Rider abandoned due to facial injuries, while Intergiro leader Massimo Strazzer (Saunier Duval-Prodir) was having problems with an injured shoulder.
Due to the crash and the strong wind, there were at least three big groups chasing across the Pugliese countryside, with names like D'Amore, Wegmann, Pollack, Klemencic and Strazzer trying not to lose too much time on the Fassa Bortolo led peloton. Gerolsteiner had dropped back most of its riders to bring Montgomery and Maglia Verde Wegmann back to the front group, preferring to take care of their GC men and not worry about the sprinter Pollack. This chasing group worked hard to get back and as the gruppo Maglia Rosa began the three finishing circuits, this group was only 30 seconds behind and closing fast.
|
Vanotti and Illiano were finally caught with 20km to go after almost 60km of liberty, and like yesterday, Formaggi Pinzolo Fiave' decided to ride for sprinter Ivan Quaranta, and sent their local rider Muraglia to the front. Montgomery and Wegmann's group got back with 10km to go as Fassa Bortolo had had enough of the cheese team's nonsense and went back on the front to take control. Lotto was also up front on the criterium style finishing circuits, while the pace was simply too fast for anyone to get away.
As the bell rang for the final lap, the race clock hit four hours and Lele Colombo (Domina Vacanze) hit the front to set up Lombardi and Nauduzs for the sprint. On Petacchi's wheel was McEwen, while new sprinter on the block Vaitkus (Colnago-Landbouwkrediet) was on the Australian's wheel, although he lost it to Fred Rodriguez. Once again, it was the silver train at the front under the 1km, but in the last 300 meters, Rodriguez jumped Petacchi, who didn't react in time and couldn't close the gap to the Americano.
Massimo Strazzer managed to finish the stage over nine minutes down but won't take the start on Wednesday, and the blue Intergiro jersey will probably be worn by D'Amore.
Rest Day - Tuesday, May 18: Porto Sant'Elpidio
Stage 10 - Wednesday, May 19: Porto Sant'Elpidio-Ascoli Piceno, 146 km
Wednesday offers a short, difficult stage on tight, twisty roads through the hinterlands of the southern Marche region to the home of the tasty antipasto olive ascolani. With the Ripatransone climb halfway, look for a small group to get away and try and foil the sprinters, but with 56 km to the finish from the GPM, speedsters should rule in Ascoli Piceno.
Climbs: Ripatransone (494m, 4.8 km at 4.3%)
