Il Grillo, Stage and Pink!

The Olympic champion, Paolo Bettini (Quick-Step), took both the stage win in Tropea and the leader's pink jersey. Both McEwen and Petacchi tried to stop "il grillo" but did not succeed.

The Giro d'Italia left Reggio Calabria and quickly formed an escape which lasted 160K. The breakaway contained: Scarselli (Selle Italia-Colombia), Zanini (Quick-Step), Veneberg (Rabobank) e Krauss (Gerolsteiner). But this move, however never seemed stable. Fassa Bortolo was the team who worked to bring back the move for a possible Alessandro Petacchi win. The stage ended on an unusually technical downhill turned-to-uphill finish, and it was too much for Fassa to control. Bettini delivered; he was the man of the day! He drove hard with 500 meters to go, and created a large gap right away. Bettini was certainly pleased while Petacchi looks to tomorrow.

Looking at the times this early in a stage race is important because many riders are contenders of the pink jersey. The Australian, McEwen is 12" from Bettini, and Petacchi at 14". So with 20 seconds on the line for a first place in tomorrow's stage, there is a promise of pink and McEwen and Petacchi will be fighting hard for this jersey. Stage 2 is flat and should suit McEwen and Petacchi, while Il Grillo will most likely lose the overall lead.

Looking at the GC riders, Cunego, Savoldelli, Simoni, Garzelli, Gonchar and Cioni were four seconds back to Bettini. Basso, Karpets and Belli at 9 seconds, which means they lost 5 seconds to their challengers. This may not seem like much now, but like pennies and centesimi, every second adds up.

OK, so tip off your cloth cycling caps to Il Grillo, Paolo Bettini. He had said on many occasions that this Giro win was his intention. He rode an unfortunate Spring classic campaign due to flu and illness, but a Giro win surely makes up for any lost Spring wins. This is Paolo's first ever Giro d'Italia stage win, and this was the appropriate occasion. He was able to take the stage and also the overall. The coveted Maglia Rosa will be proudly worn on the shoulders of Paolo Bettini in tomorrow's stage 2 of the Giro d'Italia.
