57th Vuelta Ciclista Internacional Comunidad Valenciana, Cat 2.3

Spain, February 23-27, 1999

Other Stages    

Stage 1, Vila Real - Vila Real, 150 kms:

Spaniard Manuel Sanroma (Fuenlabrada) won the sprint finish into Vila Real (in the south east of Spain) after a 150 tour around the city. Super Mario Cipollini was second less than a bike length back. The Italian however received a 10 second penalty for blocking Sanroma in the final sprint. The stage was highlighted by several crashes which split the peloton into several small bunches. The finish was marred by a major fall just 3 kms out and involved a lot of the fancied riders. At least 30 riders hit the deck and Frenchman Laurent Jalabert lost more than 4 minutes in the confusion and finished in 161st place. US Postal's Lance Armstrong sustained collarbone injuries in the fall and is unlikely to continue in the Tour.

First-year professinal Sanroma surprised the great sprinters and Mario Cipollini didn't count on the speed of the unknown Spaniard. His blocking tactic cost him 120.4 Euros in additino to his 10 second penalty. The young Spaniard said rather indignantly after the race that: "It is incredible that a rider of this class would behave in this way."

The race was held under a cool spring sun. The first major move of the day came when English rider Davis Millar (Cofidis) attacked and by km 84 his lead was 3.10. The peloton eventually caught him at the 135 kms mark.

This race was the first time all the big names were present in a serious outing. Apart from Cipollini and Jalabert, Italian Marco Pantani came in 20 seconds down in 72nd place on the same time as Abraham Olano (129th).

Tomorrow the riders face 174 kms between Villarreal and the Port of Sagunto. They have 3 mountain passes including the Cat 1 d'Eslida to negotiate.
