"Today my team again worked strong for me. Especially Brett Lancaster as the
last man in the train,“ Alessandro Petacchi said. The teamwork in Milan again was perfect and the 33 year-old Milram-rider
thanked his team with another win. „This win is for myself,“ Petacchi said. „I worked so hard in the last
weeks. In 2003 I won six stages, in 2004 nine, in 2005 four and again five this year. Now seven and eight wins are missing,"
the Milram-sprinter smiled.
The whole Giro was dominated by Di Luca who after helping his team win the
opening time-trial, claimed the pink jersey on stage four with victory at the summit finish of Montevergine Di Mercogliano
and then returned to the top of the GC by winning stage 12, the first major mountains stage, into Briancon.
The
2005 Pro-Tour overall winner who has been long regarded as a one-day specialist always struggled in previous years over the
third week of the race, but this time was clearly the strongest rider in the high mountains and secured his first Giro victory
in Saturday's individual time trial to Verona.
"Winning the Giro d'Italia is the biggest possible achievement for
any Italian rider and I'm especially proud to be the first rider from central Italy to have won it," Di Luca told reporters.
"For
every Italian the Giro is the most beautiful race in the world and it's difficult to describe what it feels like to win it.
I've been racing since I was eight years old and winning the Giro is a dream come true."
Andy Schleck (CSC), Eddy Mazzoleni (Astana) and the Saunier Duval trio of Gilberto
Simoni, Ricardo Riccò and Leonardo Piepoli, attacked Di Luca in the mountains, but he and his Liquigas squad always had
an answer.
"To win the Giro you have to start off well because it's always difficult to
pull back time later in the race. We won the team time trial and gained vital seconds on all our rivals. That was a clear
signal of what we could do and a clear signal we had a strong team," Di Luca said.
Di Luca continued by saying: "I
first started to think that I could win the Giro when I won the mountain stage to Briancon. The most difficult moment was
the steep finish at the summit of Monte Zoncolan last Wednesday but I never panicked and that was important."
"I lost
a few seconds in the final time trial but I was pretty relaxed and knew I'd win," Di Luca said.
As the race finished Andy Schlecks biggest result ever, in the shape of an overall
second place and a victory in the best young rider's competition, became a reality and left the young rider with a happy smile
on his face.
"It hasn't quite sunk in yet just how big this is. I was training towards the Giro hoping to just be able
to make it to the end of my first Grand Tour, but after my eight place in Tour de Romandie I realized that I might actually
be able to get some good results. But an overall second place was more than I'd dreamt of for sure," said the 21 year old
Team CSC rider.
"I'm totally happy and I'd like to thank everyone on and around the team for their support. They're
all part of this. Now I'm gonna revel in the excitement for a while till I come back down to earth again. I'd really like
some time to enjoy this," said Schleck.
Gilberto Simoni did not manage to grab a podium spot but the Saunier Duval-Prodir team
dominated the mountain stages: the yellow squad got the well-deserved overall leadership in the Fast Team Classification,
their first triumph of this kind in one of the Grand Tours. But the spoils of war didn´t end there for the team coached by
Matteo and Pietro Algeri, as there were several individual accomplishments too: four stage wins -Piepoli (stage 10), Riccò
(stage 15), Simoni (stage 17), and Mayo (stage 19)- and six second spots, two men among the top ten (Simoni, 4th, and Riccò,
6th), second place for Riccò in the Young Rider Classification, and Piepoli´s "Maglia Verde" to the King of the Mountains.
With his win on the Giro’s final stage, which means a lot to him, Alessandro
Petacchi also secured himself the Maglia Ciclamino of the best sprinter. Finally, he had 185 points on his account, second
was overall winner Danilo Di Luca (Liquigas) with 130 points.
