Wow, much farther and faster.

In light of the demise of another Italian superstar, I hope after this season someone steps in and
puts Cipo on a 24 hour suicide watch.

good video. looks like cipo came off the wheel way to early, his LO man was still head
down full gas.

then, he senses petacchi and tries to close the door by going way off line. Petacchi keeps his cool
and drops the king of hair gel like a bag of rocks.

I couldn't tell from the video if petacchi had a train going, or just chose to play off mario.
anyone see the actual race and know how the last few k's played out?

Looks like he can just show up and let mario's boys do the dirty work in the final and then come off
marios wheel when he chooses.

Nor was the finish in the following stage, also taken by Petacchi.

Abdujaparov was able to extend his career as a sprinter by picking finishes where he was at less of
a disadvantage to the drag racers. Since Cipo's trademark is the drag race finish this wouldn't
appear to be an option for him.

I keep reading that Petacchi has a train, but they sure don't look or work like Cipo's.
Petacchi really does make good use of whoever happens to be at the front (often Cipo's guys, or
Cipo himself).
