Rest Day - the Second Pause
Many more of the 3449 kilometers now lie behind the riders than remain
in front. Five stages stand between the teams and the final time trial
in the streets of Milan.
Tomorrow's stage 17 could almost be called a "gimmee", being both the
shortest stage of this year's race and a fairly unremarkable elevation.
But the next two days after that put the bite on the big boys, with
climbs that feature prominently in both stages - Stage 18 rabbit punches
the riders quickly with a little thousand foot climb that has a GpM
point on it, followed by two nasty, nasty, nasty ascents to the 2300
meter neighborhood (Colle d'Esischie at 2366m and Colle di Sampeyre at
2284m - remember - meters need to be multiplied by three to be roughly
feet) and a final climb up the Chianale Valle Var, a wimpy little dig up
to 1815 meters. Stage 19 isn't quite so brutal, merely arcing up to the
tip of the 1675 meter Cascata del Toce Formazza (I think that's a
waterfall of touched cheese, but my translation may be off...)
That should shake out the chaff, reduce any pretenders to unrecognizable
shells of their former selves and generally turn folks into jelly.
Stage 20 lets the hollowed legs recover a bit, with 122 km and no more
than 200 meters change of altitude.
Then, as the Vuelta Espana did this past year, they will finish with a
33 kilometer Individual Time Trial to finish things off.
At this point, it would take a major change of performance to get
Garzelli (or anyone else, really) ahead of Gilberto Simoni. But, people
have bad days, and there are some severely taxing efforts ahead. It is
racing and anything can happen. Regardless of how dominant Simoni
appears, the gap is not yet 2 minutes, and an untimely puncture or a
minor bonk at the steepest crests can evaporate a lead like that quite
effectively.
Speaking of leads which could evaporate, Stefano Garzelli shouldn't take
his 2nd place position for granted either. Here's why: In the first
Individual Time Trial, he lost about a second per kilometer to lanky
Yaroslav Popovych, finishing 45 seconds behind the Italian-raised
Ukranian who rides for a Belgian team (now _there's_ a gene pool!).
Since Garzelli sits just 2:07 in front of Popovych, if he were to lose
some time on the climbs, he could sit within striking distance on the
Giro's final day. Of course, that last time trial is only 33 km, but
races have been lost under these circumstances before, no? That is how
Popovych moved into third overall - crunching Alessio's Andrea Noe in
the time trial by about 1:45.
It is interesting to see Noe holding on over the Lampre-Teletubbies
Raimondas Rumsas and Francesco Casagrande. Casagrande has had some
glimmers of strength, but seems to fade as Garzelli thumps out his
relentless climbing rhythm. Rumsas may have a bit of explaining to do
around the Lampre dinner table since it seemed that Casagrande was the
chosen one for this race, but Rumsas has been on the podium at the Tour
de France, even as his wife was doing some explaining of her own.
Behind them sits Georg Totschnig, who I must admit I know little about.
He's managed to stay in the mix when it's important, and still nicked
into the top ten at the Time Trial.
Speaking of Time Trialing, how about Marco-Marco-Marco? Yes, he was
3:32 down on the stage winner, but there were days not long ago where he
was in the bottom third in this discipline, rather than the top 26.
He's still complaining a bit in interviews, claiming to be a bit
overweight, and he's trying to find the right combination of
wheeling/dealing and divine intervention to get himself into the Tour
this year.
The man who is most missed (or will be when the roads are flat) is Mario
Cipollini - 42 Career Giro Wins. The anguish on his face as he slid
across the wet roadway, knowing full well that those barriers were going
to hurt like hell when he hit them... It would've been great to see the
World Champion cross the line first at least one more time in this race.
Other riders who have done well or otherwise...
Kim Kirchen - Fassa Bortolo
The race's only Luxemburger (which doesn't appear on the big buck menu
at the local Bob's Big Bang Burger Bar) has ridden strongly, another
young rider who may prove to do well in the coming years. He's edging
around the top twenty overall, and hasn't really been "let loose", with
Dario Frigo, Aitor Gonzalez and of course, Alessandro Petacchi to steward.
Julio Perez has not climbed with the panache that marked his last two
Giro appearances. Word has it that he was trying to create himself as
more of an "all-rounder" - someone who could compete for the Maglia
Rosa. His pure climbing has suffered to that end, and he doesn't quite
have the dominance in his legs to push him onto the podium.
Aitor Gonzalez/Dario Frigo - Fassa Bortolo
A bit of a goose-egg so far, though Gonzalez' time-trialing skills were
definitely in evidence. He and teammate Frigo must not have timed
things quite right, and don't seem to have the form they need to contest
it when the going gets harsh.
Eddie Mazzoleni - Caldirola-Sidermec
The main man in the mountains for Garzelli. Thumping the cadence and
still managing to hold on for decent finishes himself. It wasn't too
many years back that Garzelli was in this same position for Marco Pantani.
Michele Scarponi - Domina-Vacanze
Who says zebras can't climb? With Super Mario to escort to the finish
line, this man has galloped up some of the tougher climbs. Another
rider who may continue to bloom. Nothing wrong with 15th position.
Sandy Casar - FDJeux.com
Leading Frenchman in the race at 23rd overall. I dunno, just seemed
important.
Team Fakta
The Vikings have landed! Taking a stage courtesy of Norwegian National
Champion Kurt Arvesen, Leading the InterGiro with the pounding efforts
of Magnus "Magnum/Maximus/Magneto" Backsted. Nice job by this little
team from the North lands.
Bogdan Bondariew - CCC Polsat
Because someone has to be last. Plus, it's always humbling to remember
that this guy who sits 2:25:40 behind the Maglia Rosa wearing race
leader has ridden all the same roads, suffered the same climbs,
screeched through the same descents and could still effortlessly kick
any of our sorry asses in a bike race.
