Lorenzetto takes over from his former boss
By Jean-François Quénet in Bodrum, Turkey
 |
Italian Mirco Lorenzetto decided to switch from Milram to Lampre because he wanted to be freed from the domination of Alessandro Petacchi. The former lead-out man for 'Ale-Jet' aimed to win races by himself, and he this move proved to be the right one as the 26-year-old took the stage and nabbed the leader's jersey off the shoulders of his former boss on stage two of the Tour of Turkey.
Being the fastest and the most opportunistic of a group of 20 riders who went away early in the race, Lorenzetto survived an aggressive finale to win from the break, while Milram didn't put much efforts in chasing the escapees down. Petacchi's blue train quickly gave up. "It's definitely too hard to control the whole race with six riders," they realized.
There were many attacks in the front group in the finale. Even the best sprinters like Hondo and Lorenzetto tried their luck alone. Hondo and Lorenzetto actually marked each other closely. But in the final kilometer on the cobbled streets of Bodrum, which was the capital of Caria known as Halicarnassus in the ancient times, Lorenzetto escaped from Hondo and overtook the last attacker Dall'Antonia.

Both Lorenzetto and Dall'Antonia hail from the same area near Castelfranco, Veneto in Italy. It led the new race leader to a strange remark: "I hope to give the yellow jersey to Dall'Antonia," he said. His training companion who finished third in the Circuit de la Sarthe in France last week looks to be in a great shape. He was the only rider from the CSF-Navigare in the front group but despite the friendship between Lorenzetto and him, Lampre might have big ambitions for Mauro Santambrogio who is the new king of the mountains of the Tour of Turkey on the eve of stage three, which features the most difficult climbs.
The day's winner was one of the courageous 20 men who broke clear on the way to Bodrum, putting in an astounding 12 minutes on the peloton. "I'm happy to grab my second win of the year here," said Lorenzetto who got his first one at the Tour of Valencia in Spain in February. "I've led the sprint all the way, I took a lot of risks for winning. The finale was a bit dangerous but I enjoy to take part in this new race. At least it's new to us. I can also feel that my condition is improving in the lead up to the Tour of Italy."
It was an all Italian podium in Bodrum with Dall'Antonia and Francesco Ginanni taking the honors behind Lorenzetto but there is more of an Italian job to be seen alongside the marvelous Mediterranean coast of Turkey.
How it unfolded
 |
After 20 kilometers, the main breakaway of the day was formed of Dries Devenyns and Pieter Jacobs (Silence-Lotto), José Alberto Benitez and David Cañada (Saunier Duval), David Loosli, Mirco Lorenzetto and Mauro Santambrogio (Lampre), Assan Bazayev (Astana), Josu Mondelo and Enrique Salgueiro (Extremadura), Tiziano Dall'Antonia (CSF), Piergiorgio Camussa and Alessio Signego (NGC Medical), Francesco Ginanni, Danilo Hondo and Gabriele Missaglia (Serramenti PVC-Diquigiovanni), José Azevedo and Danail Petrov (Benfica), Gustavo Cesar Veloso and David Garcia Dapena (Karpin-Galicia). Initially, Wim van Huffel (Silence-Lotto) was also with them but he had a flat tyre.
With 60 kilometers to go, Team Milram finally decided to chase as the gap was 6.30. The team Centri della Calzatura-Partizan also came to the front of the peloton and their six men did all the work. With 50km to go, the advantage of the 20 leaders hadn't decreased much: 6.15. Different teams succeeded to each other at the head of the peloton but no agreement between them was reached, so the gap never went under 5 minutes.
With 27km to go, the advantage of the leaders even increased again to 6.30. In the finale, there were many attacks in the front. Hondo launched one of them. He was marked by Lorenzetto who also went away solo. The rider who stayed away the longest was Devenyns but he also got caught, so did Cesar Veloso and Azevedo but without any coordination.
It went down to a bunch sprint. Dall'Antonia accelerated 800 meters before the line. Only Lorenzetto managed to pass him on the uphill cobblestones of Bodrum.
