Stage 1: Onati - Onati, 130 km

Report

Italian rider, Massimo Codol won the first stage of the 40th Vuelta al Pais Vasco (Tour of the Basque Country) today. The 130 kilometre stage started and finished in the Guipuzcoan locality of Onati and was marked by a breakaway for 99 kilometres of the stage.

Spaniard Aitor Silloniz (Euskaltel-Euskadi) decided to show the colours and attacked on the second of seven climbs of the day at kilometre 29. He managed to establish a lead of up to seven mninutes before being brought down. With two kilometres to go, he was caught through the efforts of ONCE, Vitalicio Seguros, Mapei, and a strong headwind. His attack spiced up an otherwise ordinary stage.

The uphill finish did not go according to plan for the chasing teams, and it was Lampre-Daikin's Massimo Codol who triumphed by a few seconds over Mercatone Uno's Stefano Garzelli and Beat Zberg, of Rabobank. Codol now wears the first leader's jersey going into tomorrow's 190 kilometre stage, from Onati to Trapagaran with two category 2 and two category 1 climbs en route, with a mountain finish.
