Stage 2 - February 14: Castell de Ferro - Costa Benalmadena, 149 km

Mapei take over

The second stage of the Ruta del Sol was a throwback to the past for two reasons - firstly, there was the domination of Italian super-team, Mapei Quick Step to win the stage, and secondly it saw Michele Bartoli record his first victory since destroying his knee in June last year. The squad were obviously eager to sort out their game plan for the classics, where they would like Bartoli to be their number one man again.

The stage started calmly enough, and four riders took advantage of this. Australia's Robbie McEwen (Farm Frites), Eligio Reqejo (Spa, Kelme), Elio Aggiano (Ita, Vitalicio), Andy Flickinger (Fra, Festina) escaped early on in the piece, gaining a large advantage over the lethargic peloton, who were 40 minutes behind schedule at one stage. However, one the hills started, the lead shrank markedly, and the major players in the peloton started riding hard on the second category climb at Benalmádena.

First to the top was Pedro Horillo (Spa, Vitalicio), followed by Cabello (Spa, Kelme), Extebarria (Spa, ONCE) and Aitor Garmendia (Spa, Banesto). These four were joined by Michele Coppolillo (Ita, Mercatone) and Belgian, Peter Farazijn (Cofidis) and made a brave attempt for victory.

The Mapei team were having none of it, however, and drove the peloton to recapture the escape with just a few kilometers to travel. Such was their strength at the finish, that they were able to place Bartoli, Mussuew and Bettini as the top three in the sprint, with Bettini taking over the leader's jersey from Tomorrow's stage, the "Queen stage" will see the riders cover 165 kilometers from Malaga to the Santuary of the Virgin at the top of the Sierra de Cabra (Córdoba). In addition to this first category climb, there is a second category at Camino Real (19.5 km) and a first category at El Torcal (49 km).

A video clip of Bartoli's victory was sent into us by the webmaster of his unofficial site. It is in quicktime format and has no sound.
