Petito wins after monster break
|
Fassa Bortolo scored its third victory in Tirreno Adriatico as domestique Roberto Petito won the fifth stage to Torricella Sicura. Petito attacked his three breakaway companions with 4 km to go to win, after having been away for over 200 km. Paolo Bettini (Quick.Step-Davitamon) won the bunch sprint for fifth, thus kept hold of the leader's jersey.
The break with Petito, Bäckstedt, Matveyev and Calcagni escaped after only 12 km, and Petito said afterwards that, "We immediately started to work together, but I only thought we would stay away when we crossed the climb of Crognaleto with 12 minutes advantage on the peloton. In the finale I attacked with four kilometres to go, because I knew that Bäckstedt was quicker than me in the sprint. I dedicate this victory to my father, who passed away last November 26. I have dreamed about him for the last ten nights. It seemed to me that his shadow was above me when I was turning the pedals. A surreal feeling."
How it unfolded
|
148 riders started from Paglieta at 9:50am, the non-starters being Fortunato Baliani (Panaria), Gabriele Colombo (Domina Vacanze), Vladimir Belli (Lampre), Tim Johnson (Saunier Duval) and Mauro Zinetti (Vini Caldirola). After just three kilometres, Paolo Tiralongo (Panaria) crashed and was forced to abandon. A short lived attack by Cobo and Augé came back and Roberto Petito (Fassa Bortolo), Magnus Bäckstedt (Alessio-Bianchi), Sergiy Matveyev (Panaria) and Patrick Calcagni (Vini Caldirola) went on the offensive at the 12 km mark. There was no reaction from the peloton, and the quartet was allowed to go clear.
By the first sprint at Francavilla al Mare (km 41.8), the leaders had reached an advantage of 13'15, having averaged 46.4 km/h in the first hour. Petito won the sprint ahead of Bäckstedt and Calcagni. After a little more than two hours of racing, the average had dropped to 45.6 km/h and the lead was up to 16'35. Quick.Step-Davitamon and Saeco were doing the pace setting in the peloton, and began to chase after the gap reached 17'33 at km 112.
At the mountain sprint at Crognaleto (km 144), the leaders still had 12'21 on the peloton and realised they were in with a chance with 70 km left to travel. At Pagliaroli (km 157), Rolf Aldag and Martin Elmiger attacked the peloton, but were unable to make much of a dent in the lead, which was still around nine minutes, and they were recaptured. The four leaders reached the finish line at Torricella Sicura with 39 km to go with a 9'55 advantage and knew they would stay away.
|
The peloton began to ride harder on the finishing circuit, and quickly reduced the gap to six minutes, enough for Rolf Aldag to have a second attack, which was unsuccessful. In front, Roberto Petito made his move with 4 km to go, and although Calcagni tried to respond, he couldn't, and it was up to Sergiy Matveyev to try and close the gap to Petito. But the Fassa Bortolo man in front was too strong and crossed the line with a 10 second gap to Matveyev and 1'06 to Bäckstedt and Calcagni, the peloton coming in at 3'10 led by Bettini.
Bettini now has two more stages to defend his 3 second lead in Tirreno-Adriatico, and the Italian champion will certainly try in order to make up for his disappointment last year, when a crash cost him those precious seconds.
