"El Chaba" Jimenez (Banesto) not only won the seventh stage but also
took the lead in the Volta a Catalunya by a narrow margin Wednesday.
Oscar Sevilla (Kelme) trails by two seconds only. Jimenez has not raced
convincingly for quite some time. After a good Vuelta a España in 98,
last year was disappointing but now he shows that there might be more
riders than Alex Zülle with aims in the Tour de France.
The favourites were all in one group at the Montaup with 30 kms to
go when German Jörg Jacksche (Telekom) tore the group apart with his
attack. He reached the final mountain in the lead but was caught and
passed by Jimenez and Sevilla. El Chaba then disposed of Sevilla with
six kms to go and managed to put amost a minute between them to grab
the leader's jersey. The day's big loser was Pavel Tonkov (Mapei), once
again lacking powers in the decisive moment. He lost six and a half
minutes today, enough to rid him of the white leader's jersey and kick
him down to tenth overall.
Tomorrow there is a 12.8 km mountain TT. Jimenez is not a time trialler
but so much more a climber. It will be an exciting Spanish duel. Excitement
also for Jacksche and the other Telekom riders since their Tour squad
will be announced in the afternoon. Young Jacksche, turning 24 years
July 23, would sure like to celebrate his birthday on the streets of
Paris instead of at home in Ansbach.
