Alessandro Petacchi (Fassa Bortolo) is once again in the winner's circle after triumphing in the first stage of Tirreno-Adriatico in a bunch sprint. Petacchi stormed home in Civitavecchia ahead of Austrian Bernhard Eisel (Francaise des Jeux) and Australian Robbie McEwen (Davitamon-Lotto), after his team controlled the stage to perfection once again.

"It was my first important race of the year, as it is part of the ProTour, and I managed to win," said Petacchi post-stage. "During the race, my teammates rode intelligently, alternating in front to control, but at the same time saving some energy for the final kilometres. The finishing circuit was technical and the team saw it was very important to stay in front and not take any risks. We managed the sprint like we always do, only this time I had to make some of my rivals, who wanted the wheels of my teammates in front of me, 'understand'.

"I will take things day by day without thinking of the final victory in this Tirreno that seems more suited to those who are stronger on the climbs. But I will wear the leader's jersey and defend it as much as possible."

184 riders left from Civitavecchia shortly before midday, riding at an easy pace of 30.8 km/h in the first two hours. The only action during that time was the intermediate sprint at Santa Marinella (km 55.9), which saw Robert Forster and Danilo Hondo (Gerolsteiner) take the first two placings, ahead of Daniele Bennati (Lampre-Cafitta) and Stuart O'Grady (Cofidis).

The first serious attack came at km 66 when Zampieri (Phonak), Kolobnev (Rabobank) and Pinotti (Lampre) accelerated, but Fassa Bortolo quickly shut it down. The counter-attack with Karsten Kroon (Rabobank), Jose Luis Carrasco (Illes Balears) and Giampaolo Caruso (Liberty Seguros) had better luck, and reached the first mountain sprint at Tolfa (km 84.7) with a 51 second advantage over the Andrea Tafi led peloton. Kroon took the points at the summit ahead of Carrasco and Caruso, giving the Dutchman the mountains jersey for the day.

The gap to the break slowly grew to a maximum of 4'18 after 98 km, with the average speed still only 33.4 km/h at that point. The peloton woke up in time for the first passage of the finish line in Civitavecchia and Liquigas-Bianchi rode tempo on the front, 3'45 behind the break. They were joined by Fassa Bortolo and Gerolsteiner, and it was clear that the stage would end in a bunch sprint.

At the second passage of the line (km 127), the gap had fallen to 1'58, and by km 143, on the climb of Sassicari, Kroon and co. had been caught by Luca Ascani (Naturino). The climb put several riders in difficulty, notably Mario Cipollini, who started the descent 45 seconds behind the peloton. Ascani breathed new life into the break, which held a slender 20 second lead the next time it crossed the line. The Fassa, FDJ and Cofidis-led peloton had things under control, while Cipollini's group was struggling to make contact, another 15 seconds back. It eventually did, but Cipo had no gas for the final sprint.

With 6 km to go, the four leaders were caught. Although Marco Pinotti tried a suicide attack with 4 km to go, it was all Fassa, all the time as Petacchi's train clicked into top gear and led out Ale-Jet for another win in front of Eisel, McEwen, Freire and Guidi.
