Argentinean sprinter Guillermo Ruben Bongiorno took the first stage of the Settimana Internazionale de Coppi Bartali today, galloping in ahead of a fragmented main field at the end of the opening 95.2 kilometre circuit race. The Ceramica Panaria Navigare rider beat Francesco Chicchi (Fassa Bortolo), Danilo Napolitano (Team LPR), Olympic champion Paolo Bettini (Quick.Step) plus several others in the dash for the line at Riccione, landing the stage win and the first leader’s jersey of the race.

Bongiorno was one of a small number of riders who were not affected by a large crash inside the final 200 metres. Aging Russian star Dmitri Konyshev (LPR) also ended the morning stage on the podium, snagging the King of the Mountains jersey during a long, but unsuccessful, bid for stage victory.

"I was very happy to get the win today," said Bongiorno after the podium presentation. "I’ve taken some stages in the Tour de Langkawi, but this is my first victory in Italy." The 26 year-old was previously fourth and sixth on stages in the Settimana Internazionale Coppi-Bartali in 2003.

After a sunny (but slightly chilly) start in the middle of the seaside town of Riccione, Konyshev cleared off early on in the first 10.6 kilometre lap. By the time he crossed the start-finish line along the seafront, he had built a lead of 1:45 over an unphased-looking main field. He continued to increase this advantage, the gap rising to 3:19 by the end of lap two and then peaking at 4:12 one lap later.

Thereafter, the bunch started to accelerate. The Lampre team moved to the front and set about reducing his lead, taking it down to just 1:25 by the end of lap five, and halving it again over the next 10 kilometres.

Shortly afterwards, Giairo Ermetti moved clear of the field and bridged the gap, joining up with Konyshev at the bell. Yet despite his input, the lead was down to just 14 seconds at this point, and Lampre succeeded in bringing it all together very soon afterwards.

That set things up for a big bunch gallop. However, a crash with 150 metres to go put paid to the chances of most of the field, with just a handful of riders fighting it out for the win. In the sprint, Bongiorno proved clearly faster than Francesco Chicchi (Fassa Bortolo), Danilo Napolitano (Team LPR), Olympic champion Paolo Bettini (Quick.Step) plus several others, landing the stage win and the first leader’s jersey.

The rest of the main field were held up behind the fallen riders who included, amongst others, Radoslav Rogina (Tenax Nobili Rubinetterie), Giuliano Figueras and Marius Sabaliauskas (Lampre Caffita), Giuseppe Palumbo and Alexandr Arekeev (Acqua&Sapone Adria Mobil), Paolo Bailetti and Marco Marcato (Team Androni Giocattoli 3C) plus Barloworld-Valsir’s Enrico Degano. Most were able to remount and cross the line, although a bloodied Figueras was taken away to hospital for further examination.

The race continues this afternoon with a 12 kilometre team time trial, starting in Misano Adriatico’s Piazza Roma and taking the riders on a flat, technical course back to Misano’s Via Dante.
