GP Costa degli Etruschi
 

Well, Mario C is back in form! He finished 107 out of 110 yesterday, and ended up on the ground as well, 700 M from the finish. Unhurt (apparently), and with his hair back in place, he gave a post-race interview in which he said he was setting up for the win when he and three others fell.

The race, of course, was pretty much dead flat. :)

Cheers...Gary

I thought he crashed out and didn't finish?

Cyclingnews.com has him listed as completing the race (107th):

The GP Etruschi was the first race on the Italian calendar for 2004. It was also the first race for Mario Cipollini (Domina Vacanze), who is determined to have a better season than last year. Unfortunately for the lion king, a crash with 2.5 km to go put an end to his chances in the sprint, although he escaped without too many injuries.
