Controversial sprint finish to Baldato

Petacchi still Maglia Rosa

Ten years after winning three stages in the Giro d'Italia, Fabio Baldato (Alessio) came back to win another Giro bouquet, but it didn't come easy. The 34 year old from Vicenza almost didn't have a team this year after Fassa Bortolo dropped him and he ended up at Alessio, ostensibly to help their young sprint star Angelo Furlan. Today in a tough uphill power sprint to the finish in Matera, the crafty experienced Baldato ended up the stage winner, drawing a verdict of relegation after Robbie McEwen's (Lotto-Domo) irregular riding in a tight, tumultuous sprint.

As Baldato tried to pass on the right, McEwen closed the gap slightly and then threw an elbow with 30m to go to keep the fast-closing Alessio rider from passing. "(McEwen) put me into the barriers and I had to slow down...we started the sprint in the middle of the road and we ended up against the barriers," said an annoyed Baldato after the stage.

RAI-TV commentator Silvio Martinello was critical of McEwen as well, saying "(McEwen) closed down on Baldato in a nasty way...that deserves a clear disqualification."

Once the UCI jury had reviewed the tapes in the RAI-TV van, they relegated McEwen. But the Australian pleaded innocence, telling Baldato after the sprint that he didn't see him in the sprint and he was just following his line.

Sprinters Alessandro Petacchi and Mario Cipollini both had a tough day in the heat, but Cipo didn't make it to the finish in Matera with the best riders, while a tired Petacchi was 4th and kept his Maglia Rosa. "When I saw the first 2km of the (Monte Scaglioso) climb, I thought I would lose the (race lead) today. I rode the first kilometre OK but then I cracked and had to ride at my own pace. I have to thank my team again who waited for me, but by that time, the best riders had already gone. My team was great and they brought me back to the front group. By the time we got to the finish I was pretty tired for the sprint, but I'm happy to keep the jersey another day," said Petacchi post-race.

Before the stage, Cipo told RAI-TV that he didn't want to support an Italian riders union initiative to put a white rag under their seat to show support for cycling. "Well the white flag - that's like surrender and I don't like that."

Cipo started the day well with his win in the Intergiro in Taranto ahead of Petacchi, but as the final stages of the race commenced on the climb to Monte Scaglioso, Cipo was in trouble right away. He lost over a minute on the climb and ended up over 6 minutes behind in Matera, finishing the stage angry and disappointed.

How it unfolded

There was slow start to the stage on another hot, sunny day across the south of Italy for the Giro d'Italia, with the first two hours covered at the pedestrian pace of 29 km/h. By the Intergiro in Taranto at 85km, won by Mario Cipollini in front of Maglia Rosa Alessandro Petacchi, the speed had crept up to 32km/h. After 4 hours of racing, the average was 36 km/hr as the hot temperatures had kept the lid on the action until the plotone hit the climb with 22km to go, a steep, straight drag to Monte Scaglioso.

First to attack as the wide, new road rose to the GPM was Elio Aggiano (Formaggi Pinzolo), soon joined by Tiralongo and Muņoz, but as the gradient became steeper, they were pulled back. With Pantani and Perez Cuapio pounding away on the steep part, the group blew up in several parts with Cipollini looking flat.

Fredy Gonzalez (Selle Italia) took the KOM and grabbed the first Maglia Verde just ahead of Francesco Casagrande and Stefano Garzelli. Maglia Rosa Petacchi was just 40" back, but Cipo had lost 1'20" on the leaders and wouldn't get back to the front group that day to contest the sprint in Matera.

With 15km to go, after the descent from Monte Scaglioso, Mercatone Uno was powering away in the front group to keep the sprinters groups from rejoining. Behind, Cipo had gained some time back with all his teammates on the front pulling desperately to get back on. But SuperMario wasn't very super today and eventually eased back on the fruitless chase to try and save his thundering herd of zebras for another day.

As the gradient to Matera eased, Vini Caldirola went to the front to try and set up the sprint for Stefano Garzelli, but when he saw that Petacchi, McEwen and other sprinters were still there, his ambitions waned. With no team setting up the sprint, it was a wide open dash to the line on via Dante Alighieri, where Baldato and McEwen provided the fireworks.

Stage 3: Policorno-Terme Luigiane 145km

Stage 3 is the first day at the Giro for attacking riders with a hilly final 55km across the instep of the Italian boot in Calabria. After the stage's only GPM at Fagnano Castello, there are three more climbs in the next 15km before a 9km descent into Terme Luigiane and an uphill final along Viale delle Terme.

With another hot, hard day and fast attacking riders who can climb well on the move, Alessandro Petacchi will likely end his reign as Maglia Rosa in favour of a rider like Lele Colombo, 19" behind Petacchi in 2nd on GC, or Giuliano Figueras, 3rd at 23".
