Meaning of "start to"

Thank you very much! and sorry again, but can't be sure for three things.

1) at the end of the race, did he win?

2) and a good start to 00: is this like, a good start comparing to 00?

3) Fabian Cancellara sped his way to a San Benedetto del Tronto Time Trial triumph. : please rephrase this.

I appreciate your help.

1) at the end of the race, did he win?-- He who? All 3 Oakley drivers won.

2) and a good start to 00: is this like, a good start comparing to 00?- No; a good start for this year ('00')

3) Fabian Cancellara sped his way to a San Benedetto del Tronto Time Trial triumph. : please rephrase this.-- Fabian won by driving fastest.
