Vuelta a España, Spain

Stage 16, León - Valladolid, 162.5K

13 September

Bettini Spoils Fassa Party

Stage List, Stage Profile, Photos

The Tuscan Terror, Paolo Bettini (Quick-Step), mixed it with the cement boys and came out on top. The Fassa Bortolo train was confused with 1K to go, when Thomas Ziegler (Gerolsteiner) launched off the front of the speeding pack. Ale-Jet and his boys were unable to recover, and Bettini benefited. Roberto Heras (Liberty Seguros-Würth) stayed clean and out of trouble, keeping the Gold jersey.

Today's stage from León to Valladolid was flat, really really flat. Nothing but sprint bonuses and a feed-zone marked the course, it looked like a stage built for Petacchi. Riders attacked all day, never really getting any gaps of significance. Phonak and Liberty Seguros-Würth were on front most of the day, controlling affairs with a steady tempo. Cross-winds were on tap in many sections of the course, causing a number of crashes. Heras and his Liberty boys were doing a good job of staying out of trouble.

Over the rest day Saunier Duval-Prodir expressed a strong desire to take a stage win. The team sent Ángel Gómez Gómez up the road with 40K to go. Litu was joined by Nacor Burgos (Relax Fuenlabrada), and the duo started to build an advantage. They had a 1'10" lead with 22K remaining. Behind it was the teams of the sprinters starting to lift the pace, and by 15K to go it was lights-out for the escape duo. Immediately after being caught, another Saunier rider went, Rafael Casero. Casero's escape was much shorter lived, and only lasted for about 4K.

In the final 8K the pace was ballistic, but Heras found a way to stay up front with the sprinters. He was mixing it with Fassa Bortolo and Davitamon-Lotto, coming out 10th in the in final. It looked to be a Petacchi or Zabel day, but Ziegler launched up the road with 1K to go. This broke up the rhythm of team Fassa and allowed Bettini to make his move. Once Ziegler was caught by Fassa it was the turn of the Quick-Step rider to go. Bettini has a jump that is hard to match, even for Petacchi, thus the nickname 'Grillo' (Italian for cricket).
