Other Stages    

Stage 1, Murcia - Cartagena, 158.5 kms:

166 starters saw sun and a moderate temperature at the beginning of the 19th Vuelta a Murcia. At km 14, the peace was shattered by an attacking move from Gougot, Cagigas, Tauler, Andrade, Verstrepen, Jorgensen, Charreau, Di Luca, Pierdomenico and Serrano, who were then followed by J.V. Garcia, Pronk, Santos Gonzalez, Sevilla and Loda.

7 kms later the move was neutralised. The first hour of the race passed with 36 kms done. A steady pace. The next move came at the 50 kms mark with Elizburu trying his hand without success. At the 69 kms mark, the first and only climb of the day involved the Cat 4 Puerto de San Pedro and it was Dietz, Lopez de Munain and Smetanine who took the honours, in that order. The peloton broke over the top and a leading group formed comprising Ugrumov, Orlando Rodrigues, Rebollo, Elli, Caucchioli, Dierckxens, Asmaker, Svorada, Blaudzun, Pronk, Zarrabeitia, Garmendia, Berzin, Luttenberger, Peron, Artetxe, J.V. Garcia, Pascual, Vicioso, Tafi, Blijlevens, Cesar Garcia, Vries, Kasputis, Demarbaix, Dietz, Fagnini, Nieto, Fincato and Hunt. The second hour passed at this point.

By km 90.5, the first metas volantes premie at San Pedro del Pinatar saw Orlando Rodrigues take 3 seconds bonification, Dierckxens (2 secs), and J.V. Garcia (1 sec) and the rest at 40 seconds.

The maximum advantage of this leading group of 3 rose to 1.15 at km 111. Banesto and ONCE-Deutsche Bank were driving this break since they each had four riders in it, in addition to the presence of sprinters like Jeroen Blijlevens and Jan Svorada. The chasing behind was done by Vitalicio Seguros, Rabobank and Saeco who didn't have any representation. The chasing group continued to fragment due to the wind changes.

The third hour passed after 115 kms of riding. At km 117 the second metas volantes premie (Torrepacheco) saw Rebollo (3 secs bonification), Orlando Rodrigues (2), and Peron (1). By km 130, the wind was causing havoc in the peloton and it was breaking up. The escape ended at km 145. At this point, an immediate counterattack went away with Fincato, Ugrumov and Blaudzun trying their luck. The attack did not succeed. With some 15 kms to go, the chase peloton, which included Pantani, regained contact with the top group at km 153. Pantani punctured with 8 kms to go and there was a rapid response from his team. 4 kms later he got back onto the lead group.

The finale was dominated by the sprinter's teams, with Italian Davide Bramati taking advantage and beating riders faster than him like Jan Svorada, Giovanni Lombardi and Nicola Minali.

In general, the stage had a tense and exciting finish due to the winds, which provoked the formation of echelons and forced some of the illustrious riders to work, amongst them Marco Pantani.
