80th Volta a Catalunya - 2.HCSpain, June 15 - 22, 2000Main Page Results Previous stageStage 8 - June 22: San Julia de Loira (Andorra) - Viola Rabassa, ITT 12.8 km"El Chaba" does it
The final stage of the Volta a Catalunya was designed to keep the tension right up until the finish, with a 14.8 kilometre mountain time trial between San Julia de Loira and Alto de Rabassa in Andorra. Coming into the stage, Banesto's José Maria Jiménez held a narrow 2 second advantage to compatriot Oscar Sevilla (Kelme) after his performance in the mountains yesterday. Today, Jiménez demonstrated his climbing prowess again, winning the stage and thereby the overall of the 80th Volta a Catalunya. Jiménez had more left in the tank after yesterday's effort, and Sevilla conceded 39 seconds to "El Chaba", finishing fifth in the stage. In front of him were his Kelme teammates, Roberto Heras (2nd) and José Luis Rubiera (4th) and Banesto's Leonardo Piepoli (3rd). In 8th place, and showing some but not all his Tour form was Fernando Escartin of Kelme, who finished 1.01 down. The final classification read Jiménez 1st, Sevilla 2nd and Piepoli 3rd, 3.41 back. Sevilla had the consolation of winning the points and the mountains jersies however. With the win, Jiménez affirmed his committment to the Tour this year, and the field looks to be by far the the best in recent years.
