Illes Balears On Top Of The World

Two riders of note that were absent at the start of today's stage of the Vuelta al Pais Vasco were Marcos Serrano (Liberty Seguros) and Franco Pellizotti (Liquigas-Bianchi). The absence of Pellizotti should bode well for an Illes Balears GC victory since Pellizotti is a handy climber and has recently demonstrated some fine form.

The first break of the day went at km 29 with seven riders: David Latasa (Comunidad Valenciana), David Munoz (Comunidad Valenciana), Sprick (Bouygues-Telecom), Polvet (Credit Agricole), Gilbert (Francaise des Jeux), Bertolini (Domina Vacanze) and Aranaga (Kaiku). The seven riders were working very well together gaining up 5' 3" by the ascent of the first category climb, Alto de Opakua. As well as they were working together though, you had think in the back of your head that the peloton was just letting them have their moment in the sun. When needed, the peloton would close the gap down for the leaders. Sure enough, by km 87 the gap had been reduced to 4' 42". Phonak was evidently very confident in their team leader, M.A. Martin Perdiguero, as they were spearheading the chase jointly with the Illes Balears boys.

By virtue of being off the front nearly the whole stage, two of the escapees, Latasa and Aranaga were battling it out for the mountain classification. With about 45km to go Phonak had said enough is enough and further reduced the advantage to 3' 10". But was it too little too late? Would the escapees have enough fire power left in their legs to spoil the sprinter's party? Philippe Gilbert apparently didn't think so as he decided to have a solo dig, but was promptly reeled in by his breakaway companions 3 kilometers later at the top of the cat. 3 Alto de Altamira climb.

By this point the peloton was a bundle of nerves. The yellow and green clad Phonak boys were turning themselves inside-out to help avoid a repeat of yesterday's stage. At the same time Illes Balears was hammering to keep GC leader, Aitor Osa, out of trouble and possibly set Valverde up for another victory. In a last ditch effort for glory, long time escapee David Latasa decided to go it alone with about 22 kilometers left to race, but was swallowed up by the peloton 3 kilometers later.

Vinokourov (T-Mobile) and 20 year old Thomas Lovkvist (Francaise des Jeux) took a flyer with 6 km to go. Everybody knows that Vino is not someone you can afford to give even an inch to, and with the added firepower of Lovkvist they might just have enough of an advantage to stay away. But the move was not to be. Predictably, the peloton regrouped with 3 km to go, setting the stage for a virtual repeat of yesterday's stage. It was going to be a massive sprint. But who would take it? Just like he did in the streets of Vitoria, Alejandro Valverde outclassed his opponents for his second consecutive victory.
