Stage 1 - August 7: Miranda de Ebro-San Juan del Monte ITT, 6 km

Martinez quickest in mountain TT

Euskaltel's Alberto Martinez rode the fastest time in the 6 kilometre mountain time trial that comprised the prologue of the Vuelta a Burgos. The course climbed gently from the start, then featured a nasty closing 1.5km at a grade of 10%.

Still, the Basque rider clocked just over nine minutes (39.8 km/h) to beat Dario Frigo (Fassa Bortolo) and Alex Zülle (Banesto) by seven and nine seconds respectively. In his first race back since winning the Tour de France, Lance Armstrong came in 44th, 38 seconds behind the winner. Other favourites for the Vuelta a España such as Abraham Olano, Pavel Tonkov, Leonardo Piepoli and Angel Casero (returning after a crash in the Tour) finished in the top 10.

Tomorrow's stage is an undulating 181 kilometres from Burgos to Clunia, followed by a mountain top finish on Wednesday to Lagunas de Neila. The race conludes Thursday in Burgos.
