Heras comes good for Kelme

Roberto Heras was indeed a popular winner of the stage between Valencia and Morella. Many riders attempted to attack from the first group over the final climb of Alto de Morella, but they all agreed that the rider from Kelme was a worthy winner.
The first part of the stage was flat, with the two mountain prizes of the day came close to the end. A break with Cyril Dessel (Delatour), Gianni Faresin (Mapei), Santi Botero (Kelme) and Mirko Marini (Liquigas), was brought back close to the second category climb of the Port de Querol. The peloton suffered from nervousness again, and Bruno Thibout from Jean Delatour was extremely unlucky when he tried to avoid a fallen rider. He crashed into the rear window of Polti's car, and left the scene in an ambulance, heavily bleeding from a broken nose.
Oscar Sevilla (Kelme), Francisco Garcia (Vitalicio), Davide Extebarria (ONCE) and Carlos Sastre from the same team all made attempts to break away on the climb, but it was Ramon Gonzales Arrieta from Euskatel who crossed the summit first. Ullrich, Jimenez (Eladio) and Zülle had no problems during the climb and followed at a 20 second distance.

The climb up to the city of Morella started shortly after the descent from Querol. Vinokourov from Telekom made a brave attempt to escape, but was brought back by Euskatel's Roberto Laiseka. The road flattened a little in the final meters, but only the decent climbers in the peloton could contest the sprint to the line.
Patrice Halgand from Jean Delatour was strong, and made a stunning attack with a few hundred meters to go, but Roberto Heras passed him round a corner, and was never threatened after that. Ullrich and Zülle, who after the first week of racing still are considered as favorites for the general classification, climbed well on the second mountain, as did our friend Oscar Freire! The World Champ has definitely shown his stripes this year.
