The First Pedal with Anger

While watching the Italian TV broadcast, I thought this was the first attack on the finishing circuits, I need to improve on my Italian. This Stefano Garzelli taking a farewell bow to the tifosi who have come to see the end of the 2013 Giro d'Italia. I was trying to figure out why he or the peloton were not down in the drops (on the handlebars) but were riding rather relaxed. After about a kilometer, he dropped back into the peloton and everyone got to the task at hand. The title is a nod to Phil Legget a long time cycling commentator, who would refer to an attack as a "pedal turned in anger."
