Petacchi takes the lead
|
Alessandro Petacchi could consider himself unfortunate not to have taken the leader's jersey after gapping the rest of the field to win stage 1 yesterday. The clear time gap back to Andre Korff in third place should have given him enough time to claim the jersey from Oscar Pereiro (Phonak), but the commissaires decided that all of the front riders should be given the same time, thus Pereiro kept the lead. That was academic today as Petacchi sprinted to his second stage win of the Tour de Romandie, beating Daniele Colli (Liquigas-Bianchi) and Mirco Lorenzetto (Domina Vacanze) by a bike length this time, and gaining a 10 second finishing bonus that put him on top of the general classification.
"I feel myself always improving, even if, clearly, I don't have the condition of Milan-San Remo or Tirreno Adriatico," said Petacchi after his 16th win of the season. "I have good race rhythm and I'm definitely strong than last year in this period, but I can still improve a little bit on the climbs. Today there were three climbs, but fortunately we didn't do them at a crazy speed and I arrived at the finish with good legs. In the sprint, Lombardi tried to anticipate, but then I jumped and I was able to easily pass him."
How it unfolded
The second stage around Fleurier was run in better conditions than yesterday's rather damp affair, and with one Cat. 1 and two Cat. 2 and climbs, it was a little spicier. It took 18 kilometres before Iñigo Landaluze (Euskaltel) set off alone in what turned out to be a long breakaway. Landaluze had attacked before the first climb of the day, the Cat. 1 Les Sagnettes, and reached the top of that climb with a five minute gap to the peloton, which was led by Cédric Hervé (CA) and Ruben Lobato (Saunier Duval).
Landaluze was allowed to ride out to a 9'22 gap just before the day's second climb, the Col de la Vue des Alpes (km 70), where he also took the maximum points. Lobato placed second this time, ahead of Landaluze's teammate Igor Anton. The pair formed a counter-attacking group together with Kanstantsin Siutsou (Fassa) Angel Vicioso (Liberty), and Anton Luengo (Euskaltel), but the peloton was back together after 75 km, with Landaluze still eight minutes in the clear.
Landaluze was able to comfortably take the day's final climb at Le Cernil (km 129.7), but by this time, the peloton had stepped on the gas, courtesy of Phonak, and had pegged the Basque rider back to 2'57. Lobato again took second place on the climb, but the jersey was now in Landaluze's hands. His thoughts were now on the stage win, but Phonak had the situation well in hand, and left Landaluze out there for another 10 km at just under 3'00 before beginning the final pursuit with 30 km to go.
At this stage, Fassa Bortolo had put Siutsou and Frigo up in front to help Phonak, and Domina Vacanze also had a man there. Petacchi's main rival Tom Steels had been dropped on Le Cernil, and although he managed to get back on, he was dropped for good on a smaller climb with 24 km to go. The gap was down to 1'30 at this stage, and Ruben Lobato set off alone in pursuit of Landaluze. But he was unable to stay away from the clutches of the peloton, and came back with 17 km to go.

Landaluze had just half a minute left and sat up, but remained in front until 9 km to go when he was claimed by the bunch. At 6 km to go, the time bonus sprint was taken by Garzelli from Pereiro and Valjavec, giving Pereiro a small buffer in case Petacchi somehow didn't win. But with a five man Fassa Bortolo train in front at 4 km to go, it was always going to be hard to dislodge the gentleman sprinter from La Spezia.
With Baldato as third last man today, it was up to Matteo Tosatto to lead out Petacchi with 300m to go. He was pre-empted by CSC's Giovanni Lombardi, who had glued himself to Petacchi's wheel and tried to surprise with 250m left. But Petacchi didn't panic, and accelerated past Lombardi at 150m to take the stage win and the jersey.
Petacchi will probably only wear the yellow jersey for a day, however, as tomorrow's third stage is one for the climbers. Starting in Aigle, the riders will cover three Cat. 1 climbs in the last 50 km to finish at 1526 metres in Anzère.
