The Escalada a Montjuïc is run in two stages in the famous Park Montjuïc
in Barcelona. First there is a road race over 24.3 km including five
five climbs to the castle at Montjuïc, 160 metres above sea level. Then
there's an ITT over 8.7 km with 2 climbs.
The race is run in several classes including women, U23, masters and

the event in 1996, with Laurent Jalabert winning in 1997 and Jeker taking
his second victory last year. Other recent winners include Alex Zuelle,
Maurizio Fondriest and Claudio Chiapucci, while Eddy Merckx bagged five

Report
Vitalicio Seguros' rider Andrei Zinchenko (Rus) laid solid ground
for his overall victory in the Escalada by winning the 24.4 km road
race in solo style. In the last of the five ascents he attacked, disposing
of Perdiguero, Zarrabeitia and Bettini.
In the ITT the Russian, living in Soria for five years, lost only two
seconds to Melchior Mauri but he beat Perdiguero and Rubeira, who are
normally his superiors in races like these. "I'm not very explosive
so that's why I wasn't among the top riders in the first stage,"
said Mauri who rides for the Portuguese Benfica Team.
The World Champion Oscar Freire also showed up but managed only an
eighteenth place, 2.08 behind winning team mate Zintckenko. "It
was a hard race, especially after so many top races and travels that
I've had this week. I wasn't able to do more than this" he said.
Clearly, the young man is raced out, having done at least 15 races this
year! In any case, the people of Barcelona went to the 'montaña
mágica' to pay their tribute to the champion without giving too
much attention to his position in the race.
