With a perfectly timed move, savvy Servais Knaven (Quick.Step) got away from a five man breakaway group that been out front most of the day on Tirreno-Adriatico's Stage 5 circuit race in Saltara, and soloed to victory on a course his Quick.Step teammate Paolo Bettini won the Italian pro championship two years ago. Race leader Oscar Freire and his arch-rival Alessandro Petacchi were left behind in the gruppo on a soggy, wet day in the Marche region where no one save the five breakaway riders wanted to take any initiative. In the end, it was Knaven's enterprising attack that made the difference today in Tirreno-Adriatico, no doubt inspiring an ever-improving Bettini to take the bunch sprint today in Saltara for 6th place.

How it unfolded

At 11:25 this morning, 173 riders started the Race of the Two Seas. Instead of the beautiful springlike weather of the last few days, it was cloudy with some light rain on Sunday. A five man break went away after only 25km, with Andrea Peron (CSC) going on the attack first, then joined by Pinotti (Saunier Duval-Prodir), Knaven (Quick.Step), LeMevel (Credit Agricole) and Padrnos (Discovery Channel). At the first of two intermediate sprints in Lucrezia in 66.3km, the escapees had a lead of 3'00 and after 71km, the quintet had a maximum lead of 4'03. The chase from the peloton wasn't that strong, as none of the escapees were any threat on GC.

With 1.5 laps and 21km to race, the peloton was 2'00 behind the break, while LeMevel was dropped on the descent and had to chase hard to get back on. With a little more than one 14km lap to go, the French rider came back to the break, just at the same moment that Pinotti attacked solo. With one lap to go in Saltara, Pinotti had a 0'06 lead on the four chasers, with a counter move led by Juan Fuentes (Lampre-Cafitta) at 1'58, while the gruppo was all together a few seconds back. Although Padrnos and Peron were chasing hard, Pinotti's perfectly timed move looked hopeful...for a while.

Among the olive trees at the final GPM in Cartoceto, Pinotti had 0'10 on the chasers, when Knaven suddenly shot like a bullet out of the break, bridged across to Pinotti and then dropped the Italian like a stone. With 10km to go, Knaven had 0'10 on the break with Padrnos and Peron the most active in the chase, with the gruppo at 1'30. With the wet roads, there were plenty of crashes in the gruppo, while Knaven was still holding off the chasers.

Once back in the town of Saltara, Knaven was in perfect pursuit mode and was gaining time on the break. A former TT champ in Holland, almost all of Knaven's career wins have come on strong solo moves and today's ride was nothing different. With 4km to go, Knaven had 0'20 and his four chasers now realized he would make it home free, while the peloton had given up the ghost and sat up in the last 10km. Knaven won Stage 5, while Peron beat Padrnos 0'17 behind, with LeMevel and Pinotti trailing, then Bettini winning the group sprint from Hushovd 1'33 behind.

Stage 6 - Monday, March 14: Civitanova Marche-Civitanova Marche, 164km

This same course was used in 1998 at Tirreno-Adriatico, when Erik Zabel won the stage. The large circuit heads north along the Adriatic coastline for 15km to Porto Recanati, then heads west into the hilly hinterland of the Marche region for 125km until it comes back to the coast road south of Civianova Marche with another 15km to the finish.
