Spain, March 3-7, 1999

Other Stages    

Stage 2, Murcia - Santuario Casa Cristo, 162 kms:

The first hour of today's stage was excrutiatingly slow - 24 km/h average and the second hour only marginally better seeing the peloton pass through the 49 kms mark. By 3 hours the peloton was half-way - 81 kms. A dawdle to say the least. The riders knew that two Cat 1 Mountains were in the second half of the race. The first metas volantes sprint came at km 82 with Hunter gaining 3 seconds time bonus, Colonna (2) and Orlando Rodrigues (1 second).

The first mountain climb came at km 94 - the Cat 1 Alto Campo de San Juan - Dietz, Lopez de Munain, Tauler, Bessy, Luttenberger, Fincato, Sevilla, Pascual and Kasputis - in that order led the peloton over the top. Trailing close behind were Oriol, Pierdomenico, Nieto, Navas and Cuesta, with Streel and Hvastija a further distance back.

At km 110, Oriol, Pierdomenico and Cuesta, had 0.23 on Hvastija, Navas and Streel and 0.40 to the main peloton. By 134 kms, after a series of attacks, Oriol went away. But 6 kms later the peloton was complete. The second metas volantes premie came after 142 kms at Caravaca de la Cruz. Orlando Rodrigues (3 seconds time bonus), J.V. Garcia (2), and Pascual (1) and the peloton was together. Pavel Tonkov abandoned soon after. He had had a terrible first day. At this point, Marcelino Garcia attacked but was caught. At km 155, as the sprinter's teams were assuming a mass finish, a small group accelterated with Gutierrez prominent. No success. But at 159 kms, Pantani, Blanco, Pascual and Salmeron attacked. A km later the leading group was Salmeron, Pantani, Blanco, Pascual, Zarrabeitia, Moller, Garzelli, Zberg and Osa. Blanco attacked and then Javier Pascual Rodriguez went away. The move was successful with Javier Pascual Rodriguez winning alone and taking over the GC.

Marco Pantani was interviewed after the stage and said: "I'm very happy with the work that my team did. It's a shame that the climb was not more difficult, it would have been beautiful to win, mostly for them, we have a great group, they are exceptional guys". After expressing gratitude, Pantani gave a technical analysis: "This stage was a personal test and I'm happy with the result, even though the climb wasn't very difficult. We were going at 35 kph in the last kilometer and it is difficult for me to compete in that way. This was a climb for a power rider, for people who are already in shape. At this point of the season, the Spaniards are going very strong, Pascual Rodriguez attacked like a missile, I'm still not in form. But, in the end, it was a very positive day. I have seen that I'm doing well and this is the first brick on the road to the Giro".
