Schumacher Stage and Rosa on Wet Pavé

Stefan Schumacher (Gerolsteiner) pounded the Belgian pavé into Namur to win stage 3 of the 89th Giro d'Italia, taking the coveted Maglia Rosa in the process. Second behind the bubbly water German was the Spaniard, José Luis Rubiera (Discovery Channel), who initiated affairs when the rain soaked gruppo reached the base of the historical citadel at -2K. Schumacher, 24 years-old, took the race lead from Italian Paolo Savoldelli (Discovery Channel), who finished some seconds behind with the rest of the GC favorites.

"Why are we in Belgium? This weather sucks?" The day was not pretty for the riders of the 89th Giro. From Perwez to Namur, 202K, it was a grey, wet and cold Belgium day. The riders were all bundled up in rain capes, just hoping to get to Namur in one piece, and then on south to Italy in two days.

After only 18K into affairs four riders were allowed their freedom: Raffaele Illiano (Selle Italia), Amaël Moinard (Cofidis), Markel Irizar (Euskaltel) and Moisés Aldape Chavez (Panaria). They struggled all day in front, gaining up to five minutes at one point, before being drawn back into the gruppo with 20K remaining. It was not a total loss for the Mexican, Chavez: with his fight on the day's final GPM of the Côte de Ahin, he secured enough points to take the Maglia Verde from Savoldelli.

The Mexican, Chavez, lives in Emilia-Romagna, and he has been racing here in Italy since 2000. Over the last few years he suffered knee problems, but let's hope that those problems are solved now for the new wearer of the Maglia Verde.

Flats and crashes were the par for this Belgian course. Early on, Savoldelli and Petacchi flatted, but then, more severely, lo Spezzino crashed at -44K with Dario Cioni (Liquigas). The Milram sprinter got up and kept going, but was forced to stop again 15K later due to serious pain in his left knee. Several Milram riders dropped back and safely escorted Petacchi to the finish. His participation for the rest of the Giro is now in doubt. [POST NOTE: Late here in Belgio. Petacchi will not start tomorrow. Fractured kneecap. More later.]

After the escape was reeled in (at -20K), with large chunks of work by Quick-Step for Bettini, it was CSC to the fore to escort Basso safely home. Also seen was Disco for Il Falco and Saunier Duval-Prodir for Simoni.

Jens Voigt was absolutely hammering on the front for Basso in the finale. The German looked amazingly comfortable on the cracked and decayed Belgian roads. Paolo Bettini was up in the line, marking this stage as one of his best chances for a win, but was caught off guard when the race reached the crucial finale.

Rubiera initiated the attacks when he took a flyer off the front as soon as the road kicked up with -2K. The Spaniard's move looked strong and had the potential for success, but was quickly marked from behind by Schumacher. The German drove the pace over the soaked pavé and dropped the Spaniard through the tight finishing curves within the citadel. Rubiera was growing weary but was able to hold his ground for second over the closing gruppo.

Behind, Savoldelli lost the Maglia Rosa, but he succeeded in putting in some valuable time over his rivals. All of the boys wanted to stay safe, but Paolo was able to use his technical skills to gain that extra bit of ground. We were glad to see that all of the GC men made it home unharmed after riding the day under such extreme conditions.

Rebellin, Schumacher's teammate: "Today it went well for Stefan. He was strong in this rain."

Schumacher: "I have never gone like this in a race of three weeks. This morning I thought that today would be good for me. Rebellin and I talked of a plan, and it worked out for me."

Bettini (Quick-Step): "Good for Schumacher. I am sorry that I did not win because my team worked all day in the rain and cold, but that is how it is in this race. At the finish Rubiera went very strong, then Schumacher. I had hoped that someone would be able to pull them back, but nothing."

Danilo Di Luca (Liquigas): "I did not really do much in the finish because I was far back. What was important for me was not to crash. I lost a little bit of time, I am sorry about that, but I think that it won't matter."
