Win ugly but win: Cipo takes his 36th Giro stage
Graeme Brown sprint schooled by big boys
By Tim Maloney, European editor

Up and down, rain and wind across the Belgian Ardennes and into the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg went today's Euro-Giro stage. It was not a nice day at the office for the gruppo on Stage 3 at the Giro d'Italia until the final 15km finishing circuit in Esch-sur-Alzette, Luxembourg, where the zebra striped stampede of Acqua & Sapone once again led Mega-Mario to victory at the end of an ugly, churning sprint for his 36th career Giro stage win.
"I'm really happy," enthused Cipo on his way to the podium clad in the purple Maglia Ciclamino. "it's what we wanted to do today."
No change in GC today, with Maglia Rosa Stefano Garzelli (Mapei Quick Step) maintaining his race lead. "It was really hard today", said Garzelli at the stage finish. "With the rain and the wind and the profile - tough."
Local lad Marc Streel (Colnago-Landbouwkredeit) took off early headed for Malmedy and Stavelot, names made famous in the Battle of the Bulge over a half century ago. Under torrential rain, it was more like Battle of the Rain Cape today as the peloton showed absolutely no interest in chasing the Belgian. Streel's exploit garnered a lead of almost 20 minutes on a chiaroscuro day interspersed with rain, sun and a strong west wind that buffeted both Streel and the peloton all day.
 |
With 30km to go in Schouweiler, Streel's lead was down to 1'30" and the Mapei-led peloton was letting the fading Belgian hang out front as his DS Olivano Locatelli encouraged him. Niente di fare for Streel as the sprinter's trains started rolling behind the Colnago-Landbouwkrediet man on the wet, windy streets of Esch-sur-Alzette as Streel's big day out was over with 13 km to go. Robbie McEwen (Lotto-Addeco), wearing his visible Australian colours was in evidence today next to Cipollini in the final until a flat with 3km to go took him out of the action.
Fellow Australian Graeme Brown (Ceramiche Panaria-Fiordo) was up front as well; despite a sore knee, Brown had shoved his way up front with 500 meters to go, where he again battled for position with experienced pros like Massimo Strazzer (Phonak) and Danilo Hondo (Telekom).
As Cipo accelerated inexorably off lead-out man Lombardi's wheel with 200 meters to go, Brown made his move on the inside, but crafty Strazzer swerved left to slow Brown, then blasted around Hondo to take 2nd. Brown had to stop pedaling and ended up 6th in what was undoubtedly a learning experience for the speedy Sydneysider.
McEwen and Brown will both get another shot at Cipo tomorrow on the long 232 km Stage 4 slog from Luxembourg to Strasbourg, France, which will likely end in another sprint finish along the wide open Quai des Alpes in Strasbourg.
Tomorrow's Stage 4 is the last "euro" stage of the 2002 "Euro" Giro d'Italia which returns to la bella Italia on Thursday. And already, race leader Stefano Garzelli is looking pretty in pink.
