44th Vuelta Asturias - 2.3Spain, May 9-14, 2000Main Page ResultsStage 1 - May 9: Oviedo - El Naranco, ITT, 5.8 kmMunain wins mountain time trialThe first stage of the Vuelta Asturias was short at 5.8 kilometres, but hard involving the climb of the Alto del Naranco, starting from the town of Oviedo. Euskadi-Euskaltel rider, Alberto Lopez de Munain claimed the win in the event, his first in five years as a professional. Munain clocked 12:40 for the 5.8 kilometres of up, beating Banesto's Aitor Garmendia and ONCE's Marcelino Garcia (6 and 12 seconds behind). The other strong contenders for the race also placed in the top 10: Igor Gonzalez de Galdeano (Vitalicio Seguros), José Maria Jimenez (Banesto), Joseba Beloki (Festina, fresh from Romandy), Roberto Heras (Kelme-Costa Blanca), and David Etxebarria (ONCE). Fancied riders such as Abraham Olano (ONCE) and Fernando Escartin (Kelme) were a little more off the pace, but still in the top 30. With regard to his first pro victory, 433 ranked Munain declared himself "satisfied" and "surprised". He credited his winter preparation, but said that time trialling is normally not his strongest leg. Tomorrow's stage two is over 166 kilometres, between Oviedo and Llanes with a third and a fourth category climbs to overcome.
