Robbie rocks Cipo in Strasbourg

Giro says ciao to Euro-stages

Robbie McEwen (Lotto-Addeco) knows two words in Italian; "bella vittoria". Today along the Quai des Alpes in Strasbourg, France at the photo-finish conclusion to the Euro-Giro d'Italia's Stage 4, the compact Brisbane speedster may have turned to Super-Mario just after the sprint and polished his Italian skills; "No worries, mate...that was a bella vittoria...for me this time!"

On a bella giornata with sun, warm temperatures and fast racing, it was a bella vittoria for McEwen: the oft-maligned but always fast almost 30-something who earned his 11th win this season and 45th career pro victory by simply blasting off the wheel of Mario Cipollini (Acqua & Sapone) with 100 meters to go and with a textbook bike throw, relegate the 35 year old Pisan powerhouse to first loser in Strasbourg.

"It was some good revenge for the other day," said a slightly sardonic McEwen, referring to Giro Stage One in Munster, Germany where Cipo's team-mate Giovanni Lombardi "took me across the road and ruined my sprint", according to McEwen, who finished 3rd there.

Bad luck struck the Lotto-Addeco rider yesterday as his front wheel blew up with 4km to race and took him out of the action, but any misfortune has not dimmed the Aussie's enthusiasm.

"I was sure that I could beat Cipollini this year, but it's not always that simple."

Mega-Mario would probably agree with him, as a crash and tough chase back in the 20km by Cipo's pivot man in the sprint Mario Scirea unbalanced the usually reliable zebra-striped stampede of the Acqua & Sapone train. 35 year old Scirea, nicknamed "l'Avvocatto" (the Attorney) plays the crucial role of organizing and managing the lead-out train for Cipo and when he is out of action, the A&S boys lose focus.

That's what happened when Scirea, who came back after a brave chase did organize the train, but it was too little, too late. The speed wasn't fast enough in the last few klicks, especially with a tricky 120 degree left hander with 1300 meters to go and McEwen sitting pretty, bided his time on Mario's wheel until the last half-furlong and kicked for the win, his first Giro d'Italia stage win ever.

Now Robbie has 35 to go to draw even with Cipo!

As for the GC faves, Garzelli should have his hands full defending his race leader's Maglia Rosa on Friday's stage after the transfer back to Italia. The Giro's first climbing stage, a tough 150km stage from Fossano to a mountaintop finish in Limone Piemonte is when the real Giro d'Italia begins.

. Beautiful warm weather is expected for Stage 5, so watch for Colletto del Moro to make the first important selection with 25km to go; a 3km climb at 11.6% average gradient, with some sections of 20%! After this tough hill, there is a 10km climb at an easy 4% average gradient up the main SS-20 road to Limone. Unless the in-form Garzelli cracks unexpectedly, he should have little trouble maintaining his Maglia Rosa Friday.
