Strong Win For Di Luca

Welcome to BiciRace.com's daily coverage of the 45th edition of the Tour of the Basque Country. The Tour of the Basque Country has always been a prestigious race to add to one's palmares. With it now being a ProTour event, we are treated to an even stronger field. If you're a Spaniard, the smart money is on Alejandro Valverde of Illes Balears. He'll have his work cut out for him though as Damiano Cunego, Andreas Kloden, Franco Pellizotti and Haimar Zubeldia, to name but a few, will all be gunning for glory.

Today's action began under sunny blue skies with a temperature of nearly 18 degrees centigrade. In spite of its short (133 km) distance, today's parcours was particularly nasty with the tough Alto de Garate coming at the very end.

In an attempt to grab some publicity for their teams, Ivan Mayoz of Relax-Fuenlabrada and Zarate of Comunidad Valenciana, had a go of it, but were reeled in by Inigo Cuesta of Saunier Duval-Prodir at kilometer 118. Perhaps sensing that the finale would come down to a small bunch sprint, Cuesta foiled the attack in hopes of setting up his team leader, Miguel Angel Martin Perdiguero, for the stage victory. At kilometer 123, Ricardo Serrano of Kaiku bravely had a dig, but was promptly neutralized by Vinokourov and Rebellin.

Rebellin, Aitor Osa and Cunego were the first to arrive at the foot of the steep Alto de Garate with 8 kilometers to go. Any one of these three riders is capable of taking overall victory at this race so the peloton wasn't about to give them any advantage. After a very narrow winding descent of the Alto de Garate, the splintered peloton saw Oscar Pereiro of Phonak heading a group of about 50 riders. Launching himself down the middle of the road, fastman Danilo DiLuca of Liquigas-Bianchi took the overall honors.
