Cadamuro victorious in Italian sprint finish
|
Domina Vacanze's Simone Cadamuro has won the second stage of the 2005 Eneco Tour in a final sprint against his fellow Italians Marco Zanotti and Enrico Gasparotto (both Liquigas-Bianchi), as well as Manuel Quinziato (Saunier Duval). In the last metres, Cadamuro jumped off Zanotti's wheel as he was trying to catch Quinziato. Discovery's Max Van Heeswijk kept the red leader's jersey after finishing 15th in t he stage.
"The sprint was strange," said the stage winner. "There was this Saunier Duval rider [Quinziato] who had a few bike lengths' lead. I chose to stay on Zanotti's wheel and took off at the right moment. With success! We saw a very solid Discovery Channel team today, which did everything in its power to defend the leader's jersey. They achieved it."
Max Van Heeswijk slid into the sleeves of the leader's jersey again today, but is concerned about keeping it after tomorrow. "On Saturday, there's a mini-Amstel Gold race waiting for us," he said. "Not an easy course - I might lose the jersey. We'll see what happens."
How it unfolded
|
The first breakaway attempts of today saw 17 riders clear after only three kilometres of racing: Brian Vandborg, Lilian Jegou and Alain Van Katwijk intitiated the break, and Bram De Groot, Marc Wauters, Andreas Klier, André Korff, Bobby Julich, Christophe Detilloux, Hervé Duclos-Lasalle, Enrico Grigoli, Aaron Kemps, Aurélien Clerc, Erwin Thijs, Geert Omloop, Nico Eeckhout and Maarten Wijnants joined them. It was clear that such a big break would not succeed.
The second group to try its chances was initially composed of Stijn Devolder (Discovery), Fabien Sanchez (Francaise des Jeux) and Rony Martias (Bouygues), who hit the gas at km 15. At km 23, they were joined by Erik Dekker (Rabobank), who had previously declared he was going to the Eneco Tour to win it. Their lead grew, slowly but steadily, to two minutes after 50 km of racing, but Dekker decided it wasn't much use to waste his energy on that flat a parcours, so he sat up. Devolder did too, only Sanchez and Martias continued their effort and gained a maximum lead of six minutes with less than a 100 km to go.
|
T-Mobile and Rabobank then put on a good pace and the peloton broke apart in two pieces - with race leader Van Heeswijk in the first group of about 40 riders. But the second peloton managed to bridge the gap again, while Martias and Sanchez in front had to make a rather annoying stop at a railway crossing. Their lead melted away quickly, which paved the way for a number of counter-attacks between kilometres 105 and 130. With 45 kilometres left to race, however, the lead group (then counting about 20 riders) was caught by the bunch, as Bram De Groot crashed and sat up to wait 30 seconds for his teammates to join him.
With the peloton groupé that far from the finish line, the stage finale was very fast and nervous. Carlos Barredo (Liberty) and Sergei Ivanov (T-Mobile) tried their chances, and got some help from seven other riders including Erik Dekker (again), but were caught with 20 km to go. Erik Zabel (T-Mobile) had to bury his hopes for a sprint victory when he had a mechanical problem some 12 km before the line. Slippery roads also caused some crashes: Inaudi, Loda, as well as Hulsmans went down, but continued on with no bad injuries apparent. In the final lap of the circuit parcours in Sittard, Manuel Quinziato managed to get a lead, but when the other chasing Italian sprinters moved up on him, he was caught almost right on the line.
