Basque Egoi Martínez (Discovery Channel) soloed to victory in the Vuelta a España stage 11 after attacking his escape companions with 15 kilometers to the finish in Burgos. Forming part of the escape after only 4K from Torrelavega, Martínez rode with his companions through some of the 2006 Vuelta's worst weather while the peloton appeared content to let the boys stay free. Martínez, 28 years-old, recorded his second career win in five years as a pro, the first being the Tour l'Avenir in 2003. Alejandro Valverde (Caisse d'Epargne-Illes Balears) finished the stage safely to enjoy another day in the gold colors of Vuelta race leader.

2 - 1 - 3: A tricky parcours greeted the boys for the first half of stage 11, 173K from Torrelavega to Burgos. Out of Torrelavega the boys would hit three categorized climbs in the first 90 kilometers. The Cat. 2 Puerto de la Braguía, the Cat. 1 Puerto del Escudo and the Cat. 3 Puerto de Carrales, topping out with 87 kilometers before the finish in Burgos.

After a caffè at the start village, the boys are ready to start their day of business. Eight minutes after the race started at 13.15, Egoi Martínez (Discovery Channel) launched up the road. The move was snuffed out but our Basque friend re-appeared in the day's major move, a 13-man move that was initiated by sprinter Thor Hushovd (Crédit Agricole). The other 11 with Thor and Egoi: Eric Leblacher (Française des Jeux), Alexandre Usov (Ag2R Prévoyance), Volodimir Gustov (Team CSC), Andrea Moletta (Gerolsteiner), Scott Davis (T-Mobile), Dario Cioni (Liquigas), David Loosli (Lampre-Fondital), Joaquím Rodríguez (Caisse d'Epargne-Illes Balears), Theo Eltink (Rabobank), Serguei Yakovlev (Astaná) and Iñigo Landaluze (Euskaltel-Euskadi).

By the Intermediate Sprint in Villacarriedo (28K) the boys had 55", but this gap would blow up like Joe Bazooka. Before the Puerto del Escudo Martínez went on a solo march, and by the top (-93K) the 28 year-old Basque had a 2'45" lead over the chasers and 10'35" on the peloton. The peloton, were in relax mode; none of the riders in the escape were a threat to the overall GC, thus we were going to see the second successful escape of the 61st Vuelta.

Martínez continued his solo madness; clearing the Cat. 3 Puerto de Carrales, and with -63K his gap was 4' over the chasers and an astounding 14' back to the peloton. The gap to the chasers started to drop to nearly 40", before the gruppo made contact, Iñigo Landaluze and Volodimir Gustov bridged up to the Basque at -43K.

The company was welcomed by Martínez as the stage started to cover mostly flat roads to the finish. After rain storms and 30 kilometers of cooperation, Martínez had enough and through down the hammer. The Basque was solo again with 14 kilometers to go.

Martínez held a slight advantage over his pursuers that by -3K was only 45", but enough to see him to victory. Martínez's director sportif, Johann Bruyneel, was very pleased with his charge; not only was he going to give Disco their first win in the Vuelta but a win in the city were Bruyneel himself won in 1992.

The main gruppo, led by Caisse d'Epargne, crossed the line 15 minutes after Martínez. They had enjoyed and "easy" day after the first 10 stages in hot leg-zapping weather. Valverde, riding in gold, still leads the overall by 27" over Andrey Kashechkin (Astaná). The GC will likely stay the same in tomorrow's "sprint" stage, when the riders face 169K to Guadalajara. Stay tuned!
