Pinotti in pink as HTC win opener

Italy's Marco Pinotti took the pink jersey after HTC-Highroad won the first stage of the 2011 Giro, a team time trial in Turin.

The American-based team of Britain's Mark Cavendish completed the 19.3-kilometre course in a time of 20 minutes and 59 seconds to win the Giro curtain raiser in sunny north Italy. It was HTC's second win in three years in the Giro TTT.

Australia's Robbie McEwen led his RadioShack team over the line to take second place, 10 seconds slower than HTC.

Belgian outfit Omega Pharma-Lotto, the first team down the start ramp at Venaria Reale, finished in third place, 22 seconds down. Coming home in exactly the same time was the Liquigas team of Italian race favourite Vincenzo Nibali.

The Saxo Bank Sunguard team of Spain's Alberto Contador, the controversial three-time Tour de France winner, could only set the eighth best time, half a minute in arrears.

Vauter Vejland poginuo na „Điru“
Izvor: B92

Belgijski biciklista Vauter Vejlant poginuo je tokom treće etape ovogodišnjeg izdanja trke „Điro d’Italija“.

Vejlant, koji je branio boje tima Leopard-Trek, izgubio je život u udesu na nizbrdici od Paso del Boka tokom etape vožena od Ređo Emilije do Rapalja u blizini Đenove.

Tokom televizijskog prenosa viđeno je da Vejlant leži na zemlji i ima obilno krvarenje, kao i da su doktori morali da iseku njegovu kacigu pre nego što su počeli da primenjuju veštačko disanje, a potom i adrenalinske inekcije.

Posle 25 minuta i intervencije lekara na licu mesta Belgijanac je prebačen u bolnicu, gde nisu uspeli da ga spasu.

Zbog tragedije, u znak poštovanja prema Vejlantu, organizatori „Đira“ su otkazali proglašenje pobednika, a na etapi je trijumfovao Španac Anhel Visioso, dok je roze majicu preuzeo Dejvid Milar iz Velike Britanije.

Vejlant je pre samo godinu dana trijumfovao baš na trećoj etapi „Đira“, a u karijeri je imao i etapnu pobedu na „Vuelti“ pre tri godine.
