Stage 14 - May 24: Marostica-Alpe Pampeago, 162 km
Gibo flies at Pampeago; Garzelli just won't crack
By Tim Maloney, European Editor in Pampeago
 |
Stage 14 started in Marostica's Piazza Scacchi, world famous for a human chess match, while today, on the steep final slopes of Alpe di Pampeago, the other human chess match between Maglia Rosa Simoni (Saeco) and Stefano Garzelli (Vini Caldirola-So.Di) continued, with Simoni trying to put as much time between himself and Garzelli in light of tomorrow's time trial. As his ecstatic supporters from Palu di Giovo danced in the street, Simoni explained that today was a day of revenge for him.
"When I was second (at Alpe di Pampeago) behind Pantani, I was thinking about that today...I had the same emotions and the same pain in my legs. After four years, it was great! There were so many people (on the mountains) today and it was great to race for them. I have to thank my teammates for the great job they did. The break (with Belli) made a lot of work, but (Saeco) stayed calm and we did the job."
It a great stage win for Simoni, but the Saeco man just couldn't deliver a knockout punch to his rival Garzelli. Despite his 11 month suspension and having only six races in his legs this season, Garzelli is giving Simoni a real run for his money in this year's Giro d'Italia. About only gaining another 30 seconds on Garzelli, Simoni explained that "I'm not a drago (dragon) and I can't perform miracles. My efforts are all grinta (guts)...and tomorrow will be all grinta (guts). Tomorrow I can do well...1'20" is close but I'm confident I can do pretty well."
 |
Finally a better ride today from marvelous Mexican climber Julio Perez-Cuapio (Panaria), who started the Giro with stomach problems. "I wasn't good at the beginning of the Giro but lately, I've improved a bit," he said. "I'm hoping that it keeps going well and that I can even win one of the upcoming stages with a climbing finish. Today I knew it was such a hard climb and that Simoni would attack. I did my best and I'm happy the way it went."
A tired Marco Pantani seemed somewhat satisfied, saying that "nothing is normal in a bike race, so...it's OK. I don't know how well I'll do in the next week, but I'm here (at the Giro) and I'm happy with that."
How it unfolded
 |
It was a hot midday start in Marostica for the tough 162km haul through the Dolomiti to Val di Fiemme and the mountaintop finish at the ski resort of Alpe di Pampeago. After the abandon of Gabriele Balducci (Vini Caldirola-So.Di) from a sore knee, a big break of 15 got away on the road to Fiera di Primero before the Intergiro, where UK champion Julian Winn (fakta-Pata Chips) took the sprint for a time bonus. As soon as the 23km climb up to Passo Rolle began, it was time for diminutive Colombian climber Fredy "Speedy" Gonzalez (Colombian-Selle Italia) to say "ciao" to his break buddies.
Gonzalez took the first of four GPM's ahead of his rival Zaballa (Kelme) and the remains of the break at 35", with Belli (Lampre), Lanfranchi (Panaria), Nocentini (Formaggio Pinzolo), Lunghi (Alessio) and Gobbi (DeNardi-Colpack). Saeco's "treno rosso" led the plotone over Rolle at 4'00. Up the ascent of Passo Valles, Gonzalez continued his adventure 1'30" ahead of the chasing six and 5'00 ahead of the gruppo Maglia Rosa, led by Tonti and Cunego.
As the skies above the Dolomiti filled with clouds and the temperatures dropped, Tonkov tried to make a move on Passo Valles from the main group to bridge across to the break from the gruppo Maglia Rosa, but he just couldn't make much time on either Saeco's "treno rosso" or the break.
With 42km to go over the penultimate climb of Passo San Pellegrino, the situation was that Speedy took the GPM, over 1'00 in front of Belli's chasing sextet, where Zaballa took second place. Tonkov was still chasing hard at 4'00, while Saeco's "treno rosso" had kept the pace up just 30" behind the Russian. Popovych (Colnago-Landbouwkredeit) was having a tough day, hanging on the back of the ever-diminishing gruppo Maglia Rosa. Last night, the talented young Ukrainian had a sore throat and fever, but he was hanging tough.
 |
On the long, fast descent from San Pellegrino to Moena in val di Fiemme, Maglia Verde Gonzalez paid the price for his 55km solo move and was caught by the six chasers with 25 km to go. The break had 2'45" on Tonkov and 3'15 on Saeco's "treno rosso" and Gonzalez had bonked and could only hold on to the rest as the final ascent Alpe di Pampeago approached.
Saeco soon sucked up Tonkov, while Zaballa was skipping turns, acting like he had cramps, but Belli and Lanfranchi were not buying it and yelled at him and Gonzalez to start working. Behind the break, with 20km to go, Pantani, locked on maglia rosa Simoni's wheel, was obviously feeling good as he joked with Domina's sprinter Giovanni Lombardi. The Domina rider was still up there, doing a brilliant job of supporting talented climber Scarponi.
At 15km to go, the break was speeding along Avisio River, a famous Dolomiti trout stream, 2'45" ahead of the peloton, but Saeco's treno rosso was riding hard and the gap was dropping with every kilometre. With 10km left, the break heard over their radio earpieces that the jig would soon be up, with the gruppo Maglia Rosa at 1'45". 20 riders were left in Simoni's group, while up front, Zaballa's cramps miraculously disappeared and he attacked from the break with 8km to go.
 |
Perez-Cuapio (Panaria) was leading Simoni's group with 7km to go. The orange-clad Mexican climber had regained his legs as the Dolomiti appeared, while Saeco kept local lad Bertagnolli up front to control the pace. Belli accelerated after Zaballa and soon there were just two riders ahead.
Just like on Zoncolan, Belli was soon solo, while the first acceleration by Maglia Rosa Simoni with 5km to go just exploded the group. Garzelli, Popovych, Perez-Cuapio, Casagrande, Pantani, Scarponi and Rumsas were all that were left after Simoni's first move, but it was just the first test and Simoni slowed.
 |
After another kilometre, it was bada bing, bada boom again, as in response to an attack by the surprising Yaroslav Popovych, Simoni made another move from sixth position up the right side of the road. Only Popo could respond, while Garzelli didn't try to follow Simoni, preferring to remain with his teammate Mazzoleni. Pantani was not having a great day and began to lose time as soon as Simoni went the second time.
As the steep, straight road ascended with 3.5km to go to, Simoni caught and dropped Belli and it was "un uomo solo all commando". The magnificent Maglia Rosa Simoni simply flying up Alpe di Pampeago. Garzelli heroically tried to limit his losses as Simoni had gained 20" on him. Popo had come back and it was Garzelli, Perez-Cuapio and tough guy Rumsas chasing Simoni.
Grimacing with pain and satisfaction, Simoni suffered plenty in the last kilometres but managed to put 35" into Garzelli, plus a 20" bonus and was now 1'19" in the lead. A super Rumsas was right with Garzelli for third, back as leader of Lampre. Perez-Cuapio seemed to regain his legs today and was fourth at 49", along with Popovych. Another better day for Aitor Gonzalez (Fassa Bortolo) at 1'55", while Pantani was just OK at 2'03".
 |
On the overall classifica, Simoni gained 43" on Garzelli, while Noè' is third at 3'39". However Noè lost 6" to Popovych, who is still in fourth on GC but may take third from the Alessio rider with a good time trial tomorrow. Rumsas is now fifth, 59" behind Popovych and gained time on his teammate Casagrande who didn't have a great day today on Alpe di Pampeago and dropped to sixth. And it was an excellent ride today by Austrian hard man Georg Totschnig to maintain seventh.
Stage 15 - May 25: Merano-Bolzano 42.5km
Along the vineyards of Adige River valley, Sunday's time trial isn't as simple as it looks on paper. Local rider Quinziato told Cyclingnews that "this TT is hard!". The weather in Bolzano may be hot and with a headwind likely, the first 30km are mostly flat until the tough 2.3km San Paolo climb. Then it's downhill back across the Adige and into Bolzano.
Garzelli will be looking to take back time from Simoni, who will be looking to limit the potential damage inflicted on his advantage by the Vini Caldirola man. Popovych certainly hopes to move past Noè', who is a weak time trialist, into third on GC, while Rumsas has got the young Ukrainian and third place in Milano in his sights.
As for the stage win, certainly Aitor Gonzalez will looking to redeem himself with a winning TT performance from Merano to Bolzano, while former World TT champ Serguei Gontchar is another podium prospect on Sunday.
