Liberty Seguros-Würth Continues Run Of Victories

This race may not rank up there with Paris-Roubaix in prestige, but it was nevertheless contested by such notables as world #1 Damiano Cunego (Lampre-Caffita), Chechu Rubiera (Discovery) and Paolo Salvodelli (Discovery).

On paper, Liberty Seguros-Würth was the dominant team with four participants: David Etxebarria, Angel Vicioso, Alberto Contador and Roberto Heras. Both Etxebarria and Vicioso went in to the race as co-team leaders since the medium hills of the race's parcours particularly favored them.

As is often the case in the smaller Spanish races, the Spanish teams were killing themselves for the victory. Most of the day's pacemaking was being done by Kaiku and Liberty Seguros. On the final climb, Joaquin Rodriguez (Saunier Duval-Prodir) attacked with Alberto Contador (LSW) in tow. Having just won the final ITT of the Tour of the Basque Country, Contador was an excellent breakaway companion as his form hot. Having successfully negotiated the wet roads of the descent both riders passed the 1km to go banner being chased by Damiano Cunego, Pedro Arreitunandia, Aitor Osa, Ruben Plaza and David Etxebarria. The five chasers eventually caught the 2 escapees within 1km to go and it was the fast finishing Etxebarria that got the better of his companions. This victory was especially sweet as it put an end to a 2 year run of no victories.
