A Sour Ending

Bettini Sprints and Cooke Crashes, photo: Quick-Step

Oh, Mamma Mia! It was quite a finish for the fourth stage of the Giro d'Italia into Frosinone. Paolo Bettini, in the maglia rosa, was relegated to fourth place after some irregular sprinting. The result of the relegation gave Luca Mazzanti, who crossed the line 2nd to Bettini, the stage win.

The stage started just like any other Giro d'Italia stage, attack after attack, until one stuck. Just after 24K into the stage, Marco Pinotti (Italian of Saunier Duval - Prodir) and Cèdric Vasseur (Frenchman of Cofidis) said "ciao" to the peloton and set off on a long escape. Krauss, Intergiro leader, looked to join the couple, but after suffering in no-man's land for 60 km he returned to the peloton.

Pinotti and Vasseur had a great run in the sun, and if anyone could have stayed, it would have been the Italian-French duo. Their move it was not to be, when the sprinter's teams pulled the throttle back then the gap came tumbling down. The two were fugitives (or "fuga") for 160K and then their day was over.

The Fassa Bortolo train could not keep this pack together for a sprint. At 6K remaining, with a little climb before the finish, Aitor Gonzalez (Euskaltel-Euskadi) launched up the climb. This ripped apart the pack but Mazzanti, Celestino, Bettini, Cioni, and Cooke were able to keep on. They formed a select group on the tricky descent to the finish of Frosinone.

The tifosi were ready for an exciting finish with 1.5K remaining. Cooke (FDJ) was the fast-man of the bunch and marked Bettini (Quick-Step) as the Italian made his move with 500 meters. Cooke was ideally placed in the Olympic champion's draft before making his move between Bettini and the left barrier. Bettini was drifting hard to the left and left the Aussie without room, his front wheel touched the back wheel of Bettini, taking Cooke down.

Cooke was unhurt but pissed, he crossed the line on foot as Bettini was celebrating. When Bettini tried to shake hands with the Australian, Cooke refused and kept his cool in front of the surrounded press. The judges stripped Bettini of the stage but did not issue a time penalty that would have put Danilo Di Luca in the maglia rosa. The victory therefore went to Luca Mazzanti (Ceramica Panaria). The troubles caused a sour end to a sweet stage 4.
