Break on through to the other side
Cunego takes stage win and maglia rosa in Falzes
By Tim Maloney, European Editor

Every night in his hotel room, Damiano Cunego (Saeco) puts up a Doors poster so he feels at home at the Giro. Today on the Giro d'Italia's decisive Stage 16, the 22 year old from the mountains above Verona took a page out of the songbook of his hero Jim Morrison and made a big break to recapture the Maglia Rosa. Working the Saeco game plan perfectly, Cunego attacked with 60km to go and with the brilliant support of his team broke on through to his third stage win and the pink tunic.
"I still can't believe what happened," marveled Cunego after his stage win. "It was the right day for me today. I'm really happy and have to thank my team, especially Tonti and Mazzoleni. Gibo (Simoni) was really great today; he's really strong and everyone was watching him today. Our team plan worked well for me, but there's still a long way to go before Milano with a lot of climbing."
As a bittersweet Simoni passed the finish line today 2'39 behind Cunego, he smiled when he knew Cunego had won, but then frowned as he realized he may have given the Giro d'Italia away to his young Saeco protégé. "I was too controlled today so I sent Cunego. But the real heroes of the day were Mazzoleni and Tonti; we told them to go in the break and they did; we told them to wait for Cunego and they did; we told them to ride hard and they did. I knew that this might happen and I wanted something else to happen today, but Saeco still has the jersey."

Simoni had some harsh words for the team of former Maglia Rosa Popovych, as he explained "I'm kind of disappointed that (Colnago-Landbouwkrediet) didn't chase when the break went today. I think that the MR should defend his position."
But despite his ambivalent feelings about serving up the Giro to his enterprising teammate Cunego, Simoni now has the Tour de France in mind. "I'm happy about one thing because I want to have a team this strong at the Tour de France", said Simoni and according to noted cycling journalist Beppe Conti of Tuttosport, "Simoni wants to attack Lance Armstrong in the mountains at the Tour De France."
"It was kind of a chess game today", admitted Saeco diesse Martinelli after Stage 16, "But the team performed very well. When you have legs like (Damiano and Gilberto) and a team like this, it's easy to ride like we did today."
Serguei Gonchar's DeNardi diesse Gianluigi Stanga commented after the stage that "For 10 years, we've never seen team tactics. Everyone always rides for themselves - finally today we saw these kind of tactics. Yes, we chased for a while, but I think maybe Popovych should have taken a few pulls on the front (of the chase group) if he wanted to keep the Maglia Rosa."
Currently second on GC, Ukrainian strongman Gonchar (De Nardi) is still hoping to end up on the podium in Milano. "It will be tough to attack Cunego and Simoni for the rest of the Giro unless one of them has a bad day." As for the supposed agreement to help Popovych, Gonchar responded that "Now (you) can see I didn't have any agreement with Popovych...if we had something in common, we would work together. And today, Cunego was just too strong."

Last year's Giro runner-up Stefano Garzelli was 20th and doesn't seem destined for the podium in Milano this year. "I was chasing all day today. I guess it's just not the right year for me. I just didn't have the legs."
In his best previous Giro d'Italia performance, engaging Neapolitan Giuliano Figueras (Panaria) finished 10th, but the former World U23 champion seems destined for better things this year. 10th on the stage, Figueras is now 5th on GC. "Maybe I should have gone after Cunego when he attacked on the Furcia, but I'm still happy about my ride today", explained the garrulous Figueras in Falzes.
How it unfolded
|
On a beautiful fresh and sunny spring morning, Stage 16 started on time at 10:50am in San Vendemiano, without Lotto sprinter Robbie McEwen, who was a non-starter. Amid the spring wildflowers in the deep valley near Nevegal, a big break got away after 21km in Negrisiol before the first climb of the Sella di Fadalto. The fugitives included Laverde and Di Grande (Formaggi Pinzolo Fiave'), Maglia Verde Wegmann (Gerolsteiner), Mexican climber Perez Cuapio and Baliani (Panaria), Nocentini (Acqua e Sapone), Mason (Vini Caldirola), Aebersold and Moos (Phonak), Bertolini (Alessio), Wegelius and Gobbi (DeNardi), Bertogliati (Saunier Duval-Prodir), Illiano (Colombia-Selle Italia), Brandt (Lotto) with Tonti and Eddy Mazzoleni (Saeco), who made the initial attack, just sitting on. As the break's gap grew, Maglia Rosa Popovych's Colnago Landbouwkrediet team had decided to save their matches and not to chase.
At the base of the Forcella Staulanza climb after 66km in Forno del Zoldo, the gap of the big break on the peloton had ballooned to 15'00 and thus, freckle faced Christopher Brandt (6'14 behind MR) had his moment of Giro glory as he became Maglia Rosa virtuale. With 135 km to go at the summit of Forcella Staulanza, Maglia Verde Wegmann took the KOM points from the group of 17, with a small chase group including Renzo Mazzoleni, Ruggero Marzoli, Mariano Piccoli and Oscar Pozzi at 4'00, while the peloton, including most of the sprinters was still 15'00 behind.
|
At Selva di Cadore with 125kmto go, Alessio's with Ljungqvist and Rastelli, Saeco's Fornaciari and Fassa's Codol were riding tempo on the front to keep the race under control, while Maglia Rosa Popovych's Colnago-Landbouwkrediet team still wasn't active in the chase. Up front, Alessio's Bertolini made a little attack before the feed zone and got a gap, but the steady pace of Perez Cuapio and Brandt behind pulled back the Alessio rider. As the Valparola began with 115 km to race, the 17 man group was led by MR virtuale Brandt, Laverde, Baliani and Wegmann, with Saeco's Mazzoleni and Tonti as watchdogs.
The four man chasing group was still in between at 5'00, with the peloton just riding piano 10'00 behind. Saeco was riding easy tempo at the front. Fornaciari, Bertagnolli and Spezialetti were up front with Scott Davis (Panaria) while Colnago-Landbouwkrediet's Verstrepen and Maglia Rosa Popovych were sitting pretty. By not chasing, Popo thought he had turned the tables on Saeco by forcing them to chase so the big early break didn't get too much ground, but Simoni and his powerful team had another plan up their sleeves today.
|
Wegmann took the KOM atop the Valparola ahead of Laverde and Baliani, and the fugitives rode down the long, long descent in to Val Badia. By San Vigilio di Marebbe at the base of the Passo Furcia with 74km to go, the peloton was 9'45 behind and Swiss mountain man Niki Aebersold (Phonak) attacked the break. Behind, Saeco began to up the ante as the Passo Furcia began, when Szmyd hit the front and started forcing the pace. As soon as the steep part of Furcia started with 6 km to go, Saeco went live with their strategy as mountain man Simoni hit the front hard to make a first selection, where Garzelli was gapped and McGee lost contact.
Simoni then sent Spezialetti to the front to ride hard tempo, with Sella on his wheel, then Simoni, Popovych and Figueras. Garzelli was still in the gruppo Maglia Rosa, and had teammate Tonkov with him, but he was suffering like a dog, as was Pellizotti, who was just hanging 30m behind.
Simoni started gabbing with in his diesse Martinelli to find out the situation, and suddenly, with 3 km to go, his brilliant young teammate Cunego made a hard attack and got a gap. Maglia Rosa Popovych didn't respond (like he said), while the Panaria pair started to chase, then sat up. Popovych had to choose to either shadow Simoni, who he thought was most dangerous, or Cunego, and with no teammates up front, he had to just let Cunego go.
|
At the Passo Furcia KOM with 56 km to go, Aebersold went across first, then Laverde at 1'24. Cunego was gaining ground as Eddy Mazzoleni had dropped off the break to wait for his teammate at the KOM, while Saeco's other front rider Tonti remained ahead. Behind, there was no real collaboration in the gruppo Maglia Rosa. Popovych was totally isolated with no one to work with him, while Simoni was controlling the situation. Garate (Lampre) attacked solo on the Furcia to try and get across to Cunego.
Also left in the gruppo Maglia Rosa up Passo Furcia were Gonchar, Belli (Lampre), Figueras (Panaria), Cioni (Fassa Bortolo), Noè (Alessio), Garzelli, Tonkov, Valjavec (Phonak), while Sella was yo-yoing off the back.
On the long descent of Passo Furcia towards the wide open spaces of Val Pusteria towards Brunico with 50km to go, the situation on Stage 16 was that Niki Aebersold was alone in the lead, with 1'25 on the remains of the break, attacker Cunego and teammate Mazzoleni and Marzoli were chasing at 6'11 while the disorganized gruppo MR was at 7'25. Up front, Tonti now had new orders from Martinelli and sat up to wait for the three chasers on the road to Brunico.
|
Just outside Brunico with 35 km to go, Aebersold had 2'00 on the early break (Laverde, Moos, Bertogliati, Wegelius, Brandt, Perez Cuapio, Nocentini, Illiano, DiGrande, Mason) while Cunego's group had Big Eddy Mazzoleni and Tonti chasing hard along 6'00 behind, while dropped riders Bertolini and Wegmann had now joined up with the Saeco boys.
9'00 Behind Aebersold, the gruppo Maglia Rosa had now grown considerably with riders coming back on the long descent from Passo Furcia. Cunego had gained 3'00 since his attack while Miholjevic and Tonkov were riding at the front on the gruppo Maglia Rosa. Saeco's strategy was paying off big time as Cunego continued to gain ground on Popovych.
On the long flat road amid emerald green pastures in Val Pusteria, there was a strong headwind blowing from the west and at 30 km to go, Aebersold was hanging on out front, with the eight man break chasing hard at 1'39. Now 2'00 behind the break was the flying gruppo Cunego with Wegmann working and Marzoli not collaborating, 3'48' behind Aebersold.
|
The gruppo MR was 21 strong, pounding along scenic Val Pusteria in Indian file, with Gobbi (DeNardi) Miholjevic and Tonkov chasing with as Popovych was totally isolated. This group became 22, then 24 as Bertolini waited while Garate, Piccoli and Pozzi were now absorbed. The gruppo Maglia Rosa was at 6'59 from the lead and 3'10 behind the Cunego group as the Saeco fugitives continued to ride away from Popovych.
With 25 km to go, Cunego was now Maglia Rosa virtuale as Saeco's strategy to take the maglia rosa back was paying off, now Wegmann had decided to sit up after helping Cunego's group. Aebersold was really starting to feel the pain up front from his long break of 180 km and as the steep slopes of the Terento climb began with 17 km to go in Vandoies, his lead began to drop fast.
Cunego, along with Marzoli sitting on his wheel was coming up fast up Terento on Perez Cuapio, Illiano, Mason, Laverde and Brandt with 15 km left as Aebersold cracked on the first slopes, was caught and then dropped like a stone. As the gruppo Maglia Rosa began the Terento ascent, Popovych was in trouble. Figueras attacked and again there was no response by Popovych. The pace in the group Maglia Rosa was so slow that Garzelli came back as did others.
|
By now, Cunego and Marzoli had reached the front of the race and with 13km to go, Cunego just rode straight through the remains of the break which by that point in Stage 16 had been out front for 185km. 3'00 behind Cunego, the Saeco strategy came to full fruition when Simoni attacked Popovych and was definitively dropped by the Saeco man. Belli followed Simoni, with Valjavec and Gonchar. Popovych was now struggling behind Simoni as he tried desperately tried to keep contact with the group ahead of him.
Cunego had 3'05 on gruppo Simoni, with Popovych at 3'15 and Nocentini, who had managed to hang on to the Saeco youngster gapped the rest of the break. At 8.5km to go at the final KOM of the day in Terento, Cunego was flying home, 1'00 ahead of Nocentini, with the break of Illiano, Brandt, DiGrande, Perez Cuapio and Moos at 1'33. At 2'45, Figueras was with Bertogliati and Laverde, while gruppo Simoni-Gonchar was at 3'13. Garzelli and Cioni's group were chasing at 3'30, while the Maglia Rosa Popovych was with Tonkov, 3'52 from Cunego, who had taken another minute out of the Ukrainian since the base of the final climb.
|
Finally home free in Falzes, Cunego took the stage win and Maglia Rosa at the average speed of 34.573 km/h. Runner-up Nocentini finished at 1'16, explaining after that "I did a lot of hard work today and after all, was I was away for 200km. I almost held on to Cunego at the end but I'm still happy with my work." Alexandre Moos won the sprint from the remains of the break for third at 1'39, with Marzoli, Figueras, Marzoli and Bertogliati at 2'34, Gonchar, Belli, Baliani and Simoni at 2'39 and Maglia Rosa Popovych finished Stage 16 3'50 down on Cunego with Tonkov and Mason. Brad McGee (FDJ.Com) had an excellent ride today, coming in 24th at 4'18.
On the GC, Cunego has a 1'14 lead on Gonchar, who's moved ahead of Popovych into second. Popo is third at 2'22, only 0'16 ahead of Simoni. Figueras has moved into fifth at 3'31, with Brad McGee in sixth at 3'52, ahead of Belli, Garzelli, Cioni (who stayed steady on GC in 9th). Besides Popovych, the biggest casualty of Stage 16 was Franco Pellizotti, who was 29th today at 5'27 and slipped from 5th to 10th on GC. Christophe Brandt (Lotto-Domo) had an excellent ride today; riding as Maglia Rosa virtuale half the stage and moving from 19th to 14th on GC and only losing 0'10 on the Giro race lead.
Rest Day 2 - May 26: Falzes
With tomorrow's rest day in Falzes, this respite will help 22 year old Maglia Rosa Cunego recover well. Thursday is a transitional mountain stage, then Friday and Saturday are short, intense stages before Sunday's cakewalk to Milano.
