Stage 5 - March 18: Civitanova Marche - Civitanova Marche Alta (ITT), 20.5 km
Schumacher shines, takes slim lead overall
By Gregor Brown

The time trial of Tirreno-Adriatico resulted in a re-shuffling of the overall classification, but the short test resulted in only small time gaps in the top ten riders. Stefan Schumacher (Gerolsteiner), third to last to start in today's 20.5 kilometre time trial, finished with a time of 27'28" on the Civitanova Marche parcours. The German barely edged out Andreas Klöden (Astana) by one second, and put 2'06" on previous overall leader, Riccardo Riccò (Saunier Duval-Prodir), moving the 25 year-old to into the race's overall lead with two days remaining.
Klöden's performance moved him up to second overall, three seconds behind Schumacher, and six ahead of team-mate Alexander Vinokourov. Today's third place finisher, Kim Kirchen (T-Mobile), since in fourth overall, just twelve seconds from the lead. With less than one minute separating the top ten riders on GC, the final two stages of this edition of Tirreno-Adriatico could prove to be exciting indeed. Judging by their two-pronged attack from Astana's top pair on Saturday, we are likely to see trouble again form the German and Kazakh.

World Champion Paolo Bettini (Quickstep-Innergetic), who crashed yesterday, decided to continue today, finishing the 3'49" back on Schumacher. "I feel bad all over but I am not able to abandon," he said after the stage to La Gazzetta dello Sport. "In the next two weeks my entire season will be played out."
During the time trial run Bettini used a traditional bike. "I thought it would be worse. When you crash the following the night is always bad, my left knee was pounding. Last night I did not believe I was going to continue. Luckily I only have muscle pains, and in a week it all should be resolved. It is not a positive moment for me, with three crashes in one week, but I am not able to break down. Sanremo? I would race it even if I was covered with plaster," he joked. "I have a lot of desire to do well."
How it unfolded
|
Today was a chance to see the GC guns fire in the Civitanova zone. Leaving from beachfront at Civitanova Marche, the riders travelled 20.5 kilometres to the finish in Civitanova Alta. 'Alta' means 'high' in Italian and 'suffering' in cycling; the riders faced a 4.6 kilometre-long climb at the midpoint of the course, which included a 10% gradient halfway, and a 12% wall to welcome them into Civitanova Alta. The riders were then treated to a fast 4.5 kilometre decent (-87m) to the finish.
The headwind on northern run of the parcours made it murderous for the inexperienced riders, and that may lead to explain while overnight GC leader, Italian Riccardo Riccò (Saunier Duval-Prodir), lost so much time. Only in his second year as a professional, his time trial skills aren't as carefully honed as those of Alexander Vinokourov, winner of the 2006 Vuelta, or his team-mate Andreas Klöden.
Riccò's time of 29'14" forced him back to 17th overall on the GC, 1'46" behind Schumacher. The day will be a lesson to Riccò if he wants to improve as a general classification rider. "Tomorrow I will have another go," he said at the finish to tuttobiciweb.com. "My legs were not moving today but tomorrow the stage will finish on my type of terrain and I want to prove myself yet again."

World Time Trial champion and winner of last year's Tirreno time trial, Fabian Cancellara (Team CSC), could only muster a time of 28'39", 1'31" back. His teammate, and candidate for the overall, German Jens Voigt (Team CSC), covered the course in 27'32" and now sits in sixth overall.
American Tyler Hamilton (Tinkoff Credit Systems) continues suffer from the flu that's been making its rounds in the peloton. The Olympic Time Trial Champion was clearly not golden, finishing in 148th, 31'46", at 4'38" back.
It was Hamilton's teammate, Russian Evgeni Petrov, who was the big mover of the day. Yesterday he was in 16th overall but today, due to a 27'29" run, fifth best, he moved into eighth overall, 41" back on the new GC leader. He could have a chance of cracking the top three, or the overall lead, on tomorrow's mountainous run to San Giacomo.
