Laiseka Ahead Of GC Battle

Stage List, Stage Profile, Photos

Roberto Laiseka (Euskaltel-Euskadi) won the brutal stage 11 of the Vuelta today. The Basque managed to shake his opponents in the final 3K. Heras (Liberty) and Menchov (Illes Balears) marked each other all day, not making any difference in the overall GC. They will have time to think of strategies on tomorrow's rest day.

Heavy rain fell off and on all day, a big contrast to last week's super-hot temperatures. There was a dry start, after storms last night in Andorra. The organizers did nixed one climb (2nd cat. Col de Bretui), due to an avalanche, which meant the riders only had to tackle five climbs.

A big group had established itself well, with 75K to go they had 3'30". The group was: David Bernabeu (Comunidad Valenciana), Carlos García Quesada (Comunidad Valenciana), Joaquím Rodríguez (Saunier Duval-Prodir), Victor Hugo Peña (Phonak), Oscar Pereiro (Phonak), Bingen Fernández (Cofidis), Staf Scheirlinckx (Cofidis), Bernhard Kohl (T-Mobile), José Vicente Garcia (Illes Balears) and Paolo Bettini (Quick-Step). Liberty and Rabobank were policing the move all day.

By the summit of the Coll de la Espina the lead was still at 3'30". They made their way cautiously down the descent under heavy rains. The lead really fell, to just 40", by the foothills of the Aramon Cerner, the final climb. The ascent was 11.6K with an average gradient of 6%, and a maximum section of 12%. Mamma mia!

Team CSC gave some help on the front before Liberty started their assault. Beloki did amazing work to keep the tempo high. His work was followed by Scarponi, who shredded the peloton. Yes, the escape was caught and passed by this point.

A select group formed on the closing kilometers ... the group of six riders were: Carlos Sastre (Team CSC), Roberto Heras (Liberty Seguros-Würth), Francisco Mancebo (Illes Balears), Denis Menchov (Rabobank), Carlos García Quesada (Comunidad Valenciana) and Roberto Laiseka (Euskaltel-Euskadi). Mancebo was turning himself inside out, and no one else would come through to pull. But the attacks did come. First it was Carlos Sastre launching his missiles. He put in two serious digs that were chased by Heras and Menchov. Then Laiseka fired. His attack did not look so vicious, but it was enough. Mancebo was sick of pulling, Sastre was tired, and Heras and Menchov were saving their GC battle for another day.

A great win by Laiseka after years of drought. He needed this win, and so did the team, especially after a horrible Tour de France. Laiseka crossed the line on wet pavement, the rain had let up for him to celebrate.
