Zabel makes his mark

Deutsche Telekom rider, Erik Zabel (Ger) has ended his run of second and third placings of late, with a win in the first stage of the Ruta del Sol today. In the 160 km stage he triumphed in the bunch sprint over Paolo Bettini (Ita, Mapei) and David Extebarria (Spa, ONCE).

The stage was run under calm conditions, depsite the threat of terrorist incidents in the early part of the race, although the race organisers told the riders that they shouldn't split up too early. Following this relatively quite start, an attack came at the 33 kilometer point from Spanish Relax rider, Andres Bermejo, who stayed away for 90 km.

Despite having a lead of up to 7 minutes, he was reeled by the peloton with 40 kilometers to go as things began to wind up. At 33 kilometers to go, Toni Tauler (Spa, Kelme) attacked on the final climb, the first category Puerto de Enix, however was not able to get clear of the powerful ONCE team. The Kelme-ONCE duel continued, but in the end it was a stalemate as the bunch regrouped on the descent.

With three kilometers to go, there was a significant move from Belgian, Johan Museeuw (Mapei-Quick Step) who opened up a gap on the peloton. It was almost successful, but he was caught with just 200m to go, leaving Zabel to finally take a stage win in Europe this year.

It seems that Museeuw is already shaping up for the classics season, evidenced by his performance today. However, another veteran, and world cup winner Andrei Tchmil also showed himself at the front, finishing fourth on the stage.
