That’s why they race ‘em every day…

*First George Hincapie wins the hardest mountain stage of the Tour de France and then Paolo Savoldelli takes the mountain-less longest stage of the race? All this with Lance Armstrong in command of the race but still without a stage win? Crazy indeed, but that’s why they race them each day.

Incredibly and to everybody’s surprise, Savoldelli today won the Discovery Channel team’s third stage of the Tour by taking the nearly 240 kilometer 17th stage from Pau to Revel in an exciting sprint finish from CSC’s Kurt-Asle Arvesen. On paper, it would have seemed a near impossibility that a rider like Savoldelli, the 2005 Tour of Italy champion, would come out on top of the stage that featured four small climbs with none longer than three kilometers and none more than a third category ascent.

Savoldelli nella fai finali della corsa

“It’s a fact that I’ve had a great year,” Savoldelli told Reuters. “Everything has gone well. When I climbed onto the podium, I felt a great emotion because of all the ceremony and the crowd. It was something that had been missing in my career because the Tour is the greatest race in the world, on the bike and off it.

"è un fatto che ho avuto un grande anno", ha commentato Savoldelli ai microfoni della Reuters. "tutto è andato bene". Quando sono salito sul podio, ho provato una grande emozione a causa di tutta la cerimonia e della folla. Era qualcosa che era mancato nella mia carriera perché il Tour è la corsa più grande nel mondo, sia per il ciclismo che anche al di fuori da esso.

“For the last year, everything has been going well for me since I joined Discovery Channel. When were not leading the Tour for Lance, we always manage to have one guy going for the stage victory. The more I see Lance, the more I tell myself there is only one like him. He’s on another planet.”

"Da quando sono entrato a far parte del Team Discovery Channel, le cose per me vanno a gonfie vele". Quando Lance in maglia gialla, domina la corsa, noi riusciamo sempre ad ottenere la vittoria di tappa.

Una cosa è certa: più osservo Lance e più dico a me stesso che c'è solo un uomo come lui. "lui è su un altro pianeta".

*Savoldelli, along with teammate Chechu Rubiera were part of a nearly 20-rider breakaway that at one point gained 23 minutes on the main field. With nobody in the break an overall threat to Armstrong’s race lead, they were given the freedom to go for the win. The break split in two with Paolo in the front group of eight and Chechu in rear group of nine, so it was Savoldelli’s stage to win, should it all work out. Clearly the strongest among the riders in front, Savoldelli made a key move on the third category Cote de St-Ferreol, a climb of 2.7 kms at 5.1%, and jockeyed with Arvesen, Simons Gerren and Sebastian Hinault before catching Arvesen at the line for the win.

*The action behind the lead 17 riders got serious on the St-Ferreol when – who else – Vinokourov attacked and split the peloton with 10 riders emerging with a gap – Lance and the rest of the rivals, save a few. The 10 that made the split – 1st (Armstrong), 2nd (Basso), 3rd (Rasmussen), 4th (Ullrich), 5th (Mancebo), 6th (Leipheimer), 9th (Vino), 12th (Mazzolini), 13th (Popovych) and 18th (Hincapie). The key riders who missed the move and lost 20 seconds at the line were Evans (7th), Landis (8th), Moreau (10th) and Jaksche (16th). Thus, when you add in Andreas Kloden’s abandonment of the race today – due to a fractured wrist suffered yesterday in a crash – the bottom half of the top 10 in the GC moved around a bit with Vino jumping from 9th to 7th, Evans falling from 7th to 8th and Landis dropping from 8th to 9th.

*The move to put Savoldelli and Rubiera up the road paid off in another way as well – the Discovery Channel team took over the team classification lead by 37 seconds over T-Mobile. Beginning the day second to T-Mobile by almost 20 minutes (19:28), the team finished with Savoldelli first and Rubiera 13th (at 3:14) with Popo finishing next in 18th (at 22:28). T-Mobile’s top three riders today were Sevilla in sixth (at :51) and with Vino and Ullrich in 19th and 22nd, respectively, but way back in the Popo/Armstrong group. With the team GC based upon each team’s top three finishers of the stage, the team gained the necessary time to lead over T-Mobile.

*Towards the end when the action was clearly heating up, Savoldelli had huge problems with Hinault and gestured at the Frenchman a few times after he allowed gaps to be created when the lead group was going for the win.

*He must have done this before; Savoldelli really soaked up the adulation on the podium following his win, smiling broadly and remaining up there for what seemed double the time of the other riders.

*After the stage, Armstrong told Reuters – “It was surreal still being 15 km from the finish and hearing over the radio that Paolo had won the stage. We all looked at each other and asked each other ‘Did he just say that Paolo won the stage?’ It was unbelievable and it just keeps on getting better.”

On the tactics of the day, Lance told Reuters – “We wanted to put somebody in the break but two is better than one so those guys jumped up there. We had enough guys to control the race behind and just ride a steady tempo. We thought other teams would pull sooner because of the team classification and because of some guys losing their place in the overall classification. But they never did until the very end. I was happy because my team was great again. Popo was there and George was there. At one point, I turned around and there was less than 10 guys there and we had three.”

*Prior to French television picking up its live coverage at 2:25pm, it ran a show featuring some of the most renowned crashes in recent Tour de France memory. Yikes. In black and white and color, each crash was tough to watch and – when you add in today’s departure of last year’s runner-up in Kloden following injuries suffered in a crash yesterday – the “never over until its over” and “anything can happen” clichés don’t seem so far off.

CIONI PERDE L’ATTIMO FUGGENTE
Un attacco “incompiuto” nella giornata di Savoldelli

Dario David CioniLa tappa più lunga di questo Tour de France (Albi – Revel, 239 km) porta il sigillo di un italiano, il bergamasco Paolo Savoldelli. Bergamasco come le biciclette Bianchi, anche quest’oggi in evidenza grazie all’azione di Dario David Cioni. Il corridore della Liquigas-Bianchi, alla ricerca di quei risultati che quest’anno ancora stentano ad arrivare, si è inserito in una fuga molto nutrita, ma quando nove compagni di fuga hanno allungato non è riuscito a mantenere il loro passo.
«A 50 km dalla fine ho cercato di tenere la ruota di Dekker» ha affermato con un pizzico di delusione Dario Cioni. «Ma non avevo nelle gambe l’energia necessaria».
Domani un’altra tappa nervosa disseminata di salite non troppo impegnative: 189 km da Albi a Mende. Dopo il tentativo di Cioni la Liquigas-Bianchi confida in uno spunto di Pellizotti!


ANDRIY GRIVKO QUINTO ALLA 17ª TAPPA DEL TOUR DE FRANCE

Andriy GrivkoLa tappa odierna del Tour de France, con partenza da Pau ed arrivo a Revel, è stata caratterizzata da una lunga fuga. Tra gli attaccanti di giornata è spiccato il giovane corridore del Domina Vacanze Pro Team Andriy Grivko.

Grivko si è comportato molto bene: ha vinto ben due Gran Premi della Montagna sul Côte de Betbèze e sul Côte de Capens, dimostrando una grande combattività; a pochi chilometri dal traguardo ha poi tentato un allungo e ha terminato la tappa piazzandosi quinto.

Con l’azione di oggi ancora una volta il Domina Vacanze Pro Team si dimostra una squadra molto competitiva alla ricerca di una vittoria importante

L'angolo di Dario Cioni - dal suo diario di bordo, ogni sera, in diretta dalla camera del suo albergo
Il diario di Dario

20 Luglio -242 Km 42Kmh 12° 53° generale

Oggi ho beccato la fuga della giornata. Dopo 40 Km siamo andati via in 17,in un gruppo ben assortito. Se non fossimo stati così numerosi sarebbe stato difficile arrivare. La tappa era pianeggiante, ma includeva la “pianura francese”, per cui a fine giornata abbiamo affrontato 2700m di dislivello. Non male per una tappa piatta! La corsa si è decisa a 45Km dall’arrivo quando ci siamo spezzati in due. Non mi aspettavo che iniziassero a scattare così presto e sono rimasto sorpreso. Purtroppo non abbiamo mai raggiunto i primi, per cui mi sono dovuto acontentare del 12* posto, senza potere lottare per la tappa.
