Giovanetti is the leader of the Gatorade team. With a TTT in stage 2 all decent time trialists are present (Tebaldi, Kummer and Schur). With little mountains to make the difference ITTs & the TTT will be very important. Favourits for the win are Chioccioli, Rominger, Fignon and Lejaretta.
Tony rominger (Toshiba) was the first to set a fast time on the clock,
which was already beaten quickly by Wegmuller (Weinmann), who was three seconds faster.
Vanderaerden (Buckler) set 7’17 on the clock.
One second faster than Wegmuller (Weinmann), but not fast enough. Martinez Oliver (Banesto) was just 1” faster. Van der Poel (Tulip) managed to get quite close and was only 4” short of the victory.
Marie (Castorama) proved to be even faster than Martinez Oliver (Banesto) and put 7’13 on the clock.
De las Cuevas (Banesto) was going fast but in the end was 3” short.

Panasonic was the first team to set a fast time,
but is was beaten early and very suprisingly by Gatorade.
Z, Motorola, ONCE,
Weinmann al set slightly faster times, until Castorama really crushed the competition.
Only Toshiba managed to get close.
Also Banesto did an OK job, with 4th place.

Not bad result. You will race tirrenno whit bugno?
I'm happy with the results in Paris - Nice so far. Giovanetti is not in great shape (roughly in the 70s) so an 18th place in the ITT is not too bad. Gatorade does not have great TT specialists except for Giovanetti and Bugno (absent). I think 10th place is the best they could do in the TTT. However, it is going to be difficult not to loose too much time on Banesto in the Tour de France TTT and loose the Tour to Indurain there already.
The sprint in the 3rd stage was not flat and Fidanza did not stand a change.
Yes Bugno is going to race the Tirreno. First of all our sponsors expect at least a 10th place there, so we're sending our best rider. Moreover Gatorade has only 16 riders signed, so they all have to race either the Tirreno or Paris Nice. This is going to be fun when I'm planning to race both the Giro and the Daulphinee. Is this going to be problem? That I'm one rider short to participate?

Bugno is one of the favourites to win the Tirreno, but he is not in great shape yet. He has set his mind on winning the Tour de France. Also the Pais Vasco will be an important race for him. Nevertheless the sponsors expect a top 10 result. The competition will be fierce. Chiappucci, Breuking and Rooks all have a good change to win and also outsiders as Argentin, Fondriest, Chozas, Herrera and Vona are very competitive.

Hey nice win. How many victories do you have so far this season?
This was only the second victory of the season. Zanatta won a stage in the Etoile de Bessege. But i did not race that many races yet. Consequently the sponsors are not too happy. But the squad is small so I can't race everything...
