Stage 2 - February 23: Port de Sagunt - Calpe, 183 km

Kelme two in a row

Spaniard Rubén Galván, riding for the Kelme-Costablanca team has won the second stage of the tour of the Valencian community, 183 km run between Puerto de Sagunto and Calpe. He finished fastest in a bunch sprint just in front of Germany's Erik Zabel (Telekom) and Italian Elio Aggiano (Vitalicio Seguros). In doing so however, the team lost the lead to Festina's Guisseppe di Grande.

The riders were in no mood to race at the beginning, after holding a five minute period of silence for the ETA attack yesterday in Vitoria. However, after the gun went off, sixteen riders formed at the front including Mario Cipollini and Alexandre Vinokourov. The move was shortlived, but it served as a springboard for Relax Fuenlabrada rider, David Vázquez who attacked at the 22 kilometer point to try and take a solo stage win. He was away for 136 kilometers, and at one stage had a 15 minute gap on the bunch, and the virtual yellow jersey.

As usual, the sprinters teams got it right and geared up to reel him in with 25 kilometers to go. In the final run in, a group of nine riders escaped with Rubén Galván managing to prevail over Erik Zabel. The break contained Guisseppi di Grande who just was able to take over the overall lead from Pascal Javier by virtue of a two second gap.

27 year-old Di Grande said he was pleased with taking the leader's jersey and said that it had really filled the team with confidence and a feeling of excitement for the upcoming stages. The rider has only had four victories throughout his career, which started in 1996 with Mapei. His biggest win to date has been a stage in the Giro in 1997.

Tomorrow the third stage will be disputed between Calpe and Játiva, 186 km, with the main difficulties being the climbs of Margarida (cat. 2.), Albaida (cat. 3), Serragrosa (cat. 3, climbed twice) and Campello (cat. 1).
