They were all there today; Petacchi, Freire, Cipollini, McEwen, Hondo, Quaranta...all the best sprinters in the world were headed for the finish line in Civitanova Marche on the penultimate stage of the 40th edition of Tirreno-Adriatico, the Race of Two Seas, the big lead-up to Milano-Sanremo this Saturday. The only big name fast-man who wasn't pumping his 53x11 today was Tom Boonen of Quick.Step, who finished Paris-Nice Sunday and was testing his legs on the Milano-Sanremo course.

Petacchi took a close sprint over Freire for his second stage win at Tirreno-Adriatico, while Freire is still in the race lead and is likely to wrap the stage race tomorrow. After his victory, a satisfied Petacchi said, "Today the only one missing was Tom Boonen. Yeah, the last few stages were not really good finishes for me but today it was good. I have to thank my team who worked really well for me today. Sure there were some aggressive moves, like when someone tried to knock me off Velo's wheel. It was strange; look, everybody has their teammates and it's not right to try and take advantage of someone else's teammate. But I'm happy the way it worked out today."

Tirreno-Adriatico leader Oscar Freire was runner-up after racking up three stage wins in the Race of Two Seas and tested his legs with an uncharacteristic long sprint in Civitanova Marche. "My team did a great job of controlling the race today and I felt good. In the sprint, I was in a good position and I jumped early, before Petacchi. It was a long sprint!"

But with only 0'19 lead on Petacchi and one stage of Tirreno-Adriatico left, Freire wasn't counting his laurels yet. "Oh I'm going for the intermediate bonuses and the final sprint tomorrow. Petacchi can still win this race!" If Freire does win tomorrow in San Benedetto del Tronto, the Spanish World Champ will be the favourite to win his second consecutive Milano-Sanremo this coming Saturday.

How it unfolded

On another warm, springlike day, 168 riders took the start at 11:55 in Civitanova Marche alongside the Adriatic Sea. Erviti (Illes Balears), Miorin (Liquigas-Bianchi), Nauduzs (Fassa Bortolo) and Tafi (Saunier Duval-Prodir) didn't start. The Race of Two Seas was fast from the gun with many attacks, and after 55km on a climb near Treia, Giuseppe Palumbo (Acqua Sapone) got away. Palumbo, a two time Jr. World Champ is a strong rider who decided to give it go alone.

After 100km of racing in Massa Fermana, after the feed zone, Palumbo had 3'30 and became leader on the road (he started 32nd on GC at 3'41) which woke up Rabobank who then upped the tempo.

At the intermediate sprint in Montegiorgio after 125km, Palumbo still had 2'00, but his lead was starting to drop fast. As the race came back to the Adriatic seashore, Palumbo was caught as the second GPM in Fermo approached with 30km to go. Mountains leader Carrasco took the GPM in Fermo and the gruppo flew down to Porto San Giorgio as Rabobank continued to ride tempo on the front.

Once back along the seafront, all the sprinters teams began to jockey for position. Rabobank was right up there for Freire, as was Fassa Bortolo for Ale Petacchi, Liquigas for Cipo, Domina Vacanze for Ivan Quaranta, Ceramica Panaria for neo-pro Paride Grillo, Lampre for Bennati, Francaise des Jeux for Cooke, Gerolsteiner for Hondo, Davitamon for McEwen and Phonak for Guidi. There were plenty of elbows flying as every fast man with even a ghost of a chance was trying to get Petacchi's wheel, but Big Alessandro was unbudgeable. Ale-Jet's Fassa Silver Train wound it up and under the 1km to go kite, the gruppo was strung out in one long line. Marco Velo made his final effort for Petacchi but with 300m to go, Freire went long, coming from fourth wheel on the right side and blasting across the road along the left barriers.

Petacchi and Cipo reacted and the Fassa man wound it up, passing Freire in the last 25 meters to win the drag race by half a wheel. Cipo was out of the game with 75m to go, as Aussie Champ Robbie McEwen came up fast on the inside with his classic last second move to just beat Grillo by a tire. It was a classic, wide-open sprint with Petacchi showing he was the best in a mano a mano, flat field sprint to gain his 10th win so far in 2005.

Stage 7 - Tuesday, March 15: San Benedetto del Tronto, 164km

Tirreno-Adriatico concludes as usual in San Benedetto del Tronto with a final stage of a large 90km loop, then seven laps of an 8.2km out and back seaside criterium back in San Benedetto.
