WTF?

He has some snap, but that's wild.

Garzelli does have the ability to pull off a nice sprint on occasion - like
Bettini, though not nearly as often. But it's pretty surpising that he pulled
that off against that group. He got onto Petacchi's wheel instead of Zabel -
that's a pretty good leadout (heh), but you have to have the power to take
advantage of it, of course.

From the profile it appears the lead in to the
sprint was downhill. Don't know what difference
that could have made, but it wasn't a classic
drag race finish.

the sprint itself was actually a slight uphill drag.
Petacchi made a show of leading out Zabel, who was nowhere near his wheel
after the last corner, frantically looking back while Garzelli went from
quite far out. Hondo was boxed in and had trouble relaunching, and the next
big thing in german sprinting (Ciolek) would have caught Garzelli had the
line been a meter further.
