ARABBA - Since last year the Italian sports newspaper La Gazzetta dello Sport organises its Gazzetta Challenge, a trio of events held in the 'shadow' of a professional race, similar to the T-Mobile Cycling Tour races here in Germany. In March there was Milan-Sanremo, in October there is the Giro di Lombardia and last weekend was the 'Giro d' Italia - Dolomiti Stars'. Start and finish was in Arabba and the 136km course included the Passo Duran, Staulenza, Passo di Giau and Falzarego. Indeed a considerable part overlapped the traditional Maratona course. No wonder then that Emmanuele Negrini showed he will again be the man to beat next month. Negrini won the race, finishing 17 seconds ahead of Moschiano and 20 ahead of Fontana. The event saw 1100 participants.
And Rumsas? Well, he and his teammate Timothy David Jones got beaten in the sprint by Englishman Jamie Burrow in the GF Michele Bartoli in Lucca di Montecarlo!
