Heras takes over (just) as Zintchenko is first to the top
By Gabriella Ekström, cyclingnews.com correspondent
 |
Russian Andrei Zintchenko from LA Pecol rode an impressively strong race today, when he finished 58 seconds in front of new race leader Roberto Heras.
Zintchenko was part of a big break that stayed together to the top of third category climb, Alto de Rebollada. Some names in the break were Pascal Herve (Polti), Rafael Felix Cardenas (Kelme), Igor Pugaci (Saeco), Alexander Vinokourov (Telekom) and Davide Bramati (Mapei). Back in the peloton Mapei, Kelme and Festina were the ones interested in keeping the pace up. The peloton started to split up on the Rebollada, because of the high pace, and when they passed the summit the riders in the break had 3'37 to the peloton.
With thirteen kilometers to go, there was an intermediate sprint and just like with the other two sprints of the day, Bramati was the winner. With him followed the Russian from LA Pecol, Zintchenko to take second in front of Fuenlabrada's German Nieto. The climb up to the lake of Covandonga started shortly after the sprint, and Zintchenko saw his chance to get away from his companions. The break was unexpected and a bit early and he took no-one with him.
Escartin, Gutierrez and Sevilla had now started to work at the front for Heras in the peloton, and riders from the early break were soon to be found all over the road. After a little while, a chasing group of four riders formed, and they were Oscar Sevilla and Roberto Heras (Kelme), Carlos Sastre and Santos Gonzales (ONCE). Olano was already dropped and Gonzales and Sastre were probably free to do as much as they could. Roberto Laiseka (Euskatel) also made it up to the little break before it went too far, but Angel Luis Casero was now officially dropped. With Casero rode Raimondas Rumsas (Fassa Bortolo), Igor Gonzales de Galdeano (Vitalicio) Alberto Lopes de Munain and Txema del Olmo (Euskatel). Right behind them, threatening to pass, rode Richard Virenque (Polti), Davide Bramati and Pavel Tonkov (Mapei).

Heras looked really stong, and it didn't take long before Sevilla and Gonzales had to let go, and shortly after Carlos Sastre also had to sit down. Even though the seconds were rolling away for Casero, Heras found himself a bit lonely with more than six kilometers to go.
From here on they would be equally strong, only that Casero suffered the burden of the golden jersey and had to work all by himself, while Heras was happy to see Cardenas coming down from the break to help his team leader. With four kilometers to go, Zintchenko still had an advantage of 1.23 on Heras, but of course the Spaniard cared most about the general classification.
With two kilometers to go Cardenas, who can always be seen riding according to the book, had nothing more to give to his leader, so he went at his own pace. Heras, however wasn't alone for long, since he caught Hervé and Pugaci, who had been riding in front as the little reminder of the break. Pugaci instantly followed Heras, and was able to pass the lighter Spaniard on the small descent with a kilometer to go. Zintchenko was already at the line, happy to prove that his three victories in the 1998 Vuelta weren't an isolated case. This victory wasn't given to him by anyone.
Heras took over the golden jersey from Casero by fractions of a second, as they both have ridden fourteen stages at the exact same amount of time.
