Petacchi Wins Sprint, Heras Is Golden

In perhaps a preview of next Sunday's World Championships Alessandro Petacchi silenced his critics and took out the stage in fine fashion, ahead of Erik Zabel (T-Mobile) and German youngster Heinrich Haussler. Roberto Heras (Liberty Seguros-Würth) finished the final stage in the race leader's golden jersey. He became the only rider in Vuelta a España history to win the race 4 times.

The day started in Madrid under idyllic 19°C conditions with nary a cloud in the sky. Indeed a good day to take in some of Madrid's sights and see some world class racing at the same time. Anyway, the day's affairs got off to a relaxed start. The riders followed a 101K route and then finished on two approximately 17K circuits that will be utilized next Sunday in the Worlds.

Heras had the lead in the points competition, but Petacchi could still snatch it away if he won the stage. They would be locked in a tie, but Petacchi would get the jersey because he had more stage victories (5). The first intermediate sprint came and went at kilometer 33, which Petacchi grabbed ahead of Michele Scarponi (Liberty Seguros-Würth) and Charles Wegelius (Liquigas-Bianchi). The cement boys in the Fassa camp were getting it all right today as they set their sprinter, Petacchi, up for victory in the second intermediate sprint. This would leave just one more sprint, and then the stage finale.

With about 43K to go little known Jorge (Relax Fuenlabrada) took a monster flyer at 55K/hr. This move had some impetus and to show how much impetus it had, Fassa put 5 men on the front to nullify the attack and preserve Petacchi's chances for the stage victory. Three minutes later García was brought back into the fold.

Enter Luis Pasamontes (Relax Fuenlabrada) and Alexandre Botcharov (Crédit Agricole): The 2 riders attacked with about 34K remaining and gained up to 27". Stijn Devolder (Discovery Channel) decided he would have a last bid for glory and bridged to the two, and then rode right through. Botcharov's legs couldn't match the Belgian's fury, and he was promptly spit out the back to rejoin the peloton.

Benoît Vaugrenard (Française Des Jeux) joined Pasamontes and Devolder then left the two riders in his own bid for freedom. With 10K remaining all the sprinters' teams were there: T-Mobile, Fassa, Gerolsteiner ... Vaugrenard's lead was at 7" and looking mighty precarious at best.

Around the final bend they came with a long uphill finish to negotiate before the winner would emerge. Marco Zanotti (Liquigas-Bianchi) flew through the bend and looked to have a good handle on things. Petacchi bided his time and hammered up the long and slightly uphill finish. He nabbed a most excellent victory ahead of a frustrated Zabel and Heinrich Haussler (Gerolsteiner).

Thank you for following this year's Vuelta a España with BiciRace.com. It has been a pleasure bringing it to you each day. Hasta pronto!
