Alessandro Petacchi (Lampre-ISD) believed that he scored the 180th win of a career he started with Scrigno – the team now called Colnago-CSF –  with today's Giro stage win . “I’ve also won those race that have been taken away from me later on, so I count them," the Italian sprinter said after taking stage 2 in the 2011 Giro d’Italia.
