Deja vu for Bettini

Quick.Step's strong early season continues, with Paolo Bettini notching up his second win in a row and his fourth victory of the season, increasing his lead in the general classification of Tirreno-Adriatico. The stage from Tivoli to Frascati finished in a bunch sprint, with Bettini once again beating Erik Zabel (Milram). Mikhaylo Khalilov (LPR) was third, and moved to third on GC.

"I can't hide the fact that I am in great shape," said Bettini. "Once again our team was extremely tough today and Pozzato was fantastic during the finale. As soon as possible, I'm sure I'll be able to pay back Pippo for everything he has done for me these last few days! I'm not thinking about the general classification, I'm taking things on a day by day basis. Tomorrow's stage is one that I have already won twice, in 1999 and 2003. We'll have to see if I can make it three."

Erik Zabel once again paid credit to his teammates, but had to be content with his eighth second place of the season. "I have to thank Velo and Petacchi who worked for my sprint at the end of the race," said Zabel. "I didn't feel very well today, and when Petacchi moved to the right in the last 200 metres, I was afraid to jump because I thought it was too soon with the road going uphill slightly."

The stage, which featured a tough cobbled climb with 8 km to go, was disastrous for the CSC team. Stuart O'Grady crashed out of the race when he hit a pothole, breaking five ribs and a collarbone. Team director Scott Sunderland told Cyclingnews that O'Grady would likely miss the next six weeks of racing. "What was going perfectly to plan and getting ready for Milan-San Remo and the classics is all gone," he said. "He's in a lot of pain. He could possibly be back on the bike in two to three weeks, on the home trainer. The collarbone is the least problem: It's the ribs that's going to be a problem. They can be four to five weeks, but after six weeks you can still be hurting when you're climbing."

How it unfolded

There were 198 riders at the start in Tivoli, with Daniele Bennati (Lampre-Fondital) being a non-starter. After 18 km, Jimmy Casper (Cofidis), Giampaolo Cheula (Barloworld), Ruben Perez (Euskaltel-Euskadi), and Daniele Contrini (LPR) attacked, quickly gaining time over the peloton. Sylvain Calzati went after them after 23 km, but couldn't close the gap on his own and was caught after the sprint in Subiaco (km 42), which Casper won ahead of Perez and Cheula. Emanuele Sella (Panaria) called it quits due to illness.

After an hour, the average speed was 42.9 km/h, and the four leaders continued to push their advantage. It grew to 5'50 over the day's first climb, Altipiani di Arcinazzo (km 59.5), where Cheula took the points ahead of Contrini, Perez and Casper. The leaders were 7'38 ahead of the bunch after 104 km, before the gap finally began to fall.

A crash in the peloton after 120 km brought down Beneteau, Di Luca and Garzelli, but they were able to rejoin the race. Gerolsteiner took over the tempo making as Casper started to suffer up front. At the second sprint in Marino (km 150), won by Perez from Contrini and Cheula, the first part of the peloton was just 3'00 behind the break. Another part was chasing at 1'05 behind.

On the steep, cobbled climb to Tuscolo, with 8 km to go, Bram Tankink and Paolo Bettini lit it up and did some damage to the peloton. At 10 km to go, Contrini was the sole leader, with Perez chasing at 0'25, then Cheula and Casper at 0'38, then the peloton at 1'08. Rabobank helped to drive the peloton, which swept up Cheula and Casper first, while Bertagnolli countered and caught Perez before the summit of the climb. At the top with 8 km to go, Contrini had just 0'20 on Moletta, Caruso, Kohl and the rest of the peloton. He kept that until 4 km to go, when he was caught by Nocentini (Naturino). The pair still had 16 seconds with 2 km to go, but it wasn't enough and they were caught with 200m to go. Paolo Bettini took a big win again with several lengths to spare over Zabel.
