Vuelta a España, Spain

Stage 20, Guadalajara - Alcalá de Henares TT, 38.9K

17 September

Plaza and Comunidad Valenciana Party Hard

Stage List, Stage Profile, Photos

Rubén Plaza made it three stage wins for Comunidad Valenciana in this years Vuelta a España. The Spaniard held off the top three GC men to take the biggest win his career. Roberto Heras (Liberty Seguros-Würth) did more than enough to keep his gold jersey, he almost won the TT. Not bad for our little climber on this flat course.

Stage 20 was set to be the last chance for any possible GC shake up. The 38.9K TT, from Guadalajara to Alcalá de Henares, was almost all flat. Heras started the day with an advantage of 4'30" over Denis Menchov (Rabobank), which would be very hard for the Russian to overcome.

Belgian crono man, Rik Verbrugghe (Quick-Step), was the first rider to put in an impressive result. Verbrugghe topped the times at the 15K and 26K time checks, then went on to put in the best time at the finish, 43'16". The Belgian's time stuck until Ángel Vicioso (Liberty Seguros-Würth) came rolling into town. Vicioso was up and down at the time checks, but finally up again at the finish, with 43'06. Finally it Christian Vande Velde (Team CSC) clocked a great time, 42'38".

It was then the turn of the favorites to go down the start ramp. Tom Danielson (Discovery Channel) moved up one spot on the GC thanks to his impressive ride. Carlos Sastre (Team CSC) rode a great race, and needed to, he was facing heat from Francisco Mancebo (Illes Balears). Mancebo desperately wanted to move into third on the GC. Sastre did a great job of defending his position: slowly building up momentum during the TT, until finally clocking what was to end up being the 3rd fast time of the day.

Heras ended up defending his jersey from Menchov in impressive style. The Spaniard not only kept his GC lead, but he added 6 seconds to it. But the other winner of the day was Rubén Plaza. The Comunidad rider went faster and faster over the course, and then notched a time that was unattainable by any of the favorites, 41'31". The team will be celebrating tonight, taking out three wins in the Vuelta was a huge accomplishment for this non-ProTour team.
