Alessandro Petacchi Team Quotations

It's an ugly and difficult finish that you'll have to be very careful about. The last turn is very complicated and it will fundamental for the team to be at the front with two or three riders, where you'll have to slow down and then start the sprint.

My teammates did their best to help but our plans were blown up in the final kilometers by escape attempts by cyclist of rival teams. Filippo is a good cyclist and deserved victory. I'm sorry for missing a second straight triumph here. I just lacked a bit of good luck.
