Stage 1 - April 9: Asteasu-Asteasu, 118 km

Rebellin strong in stage 1

By Gabriella Ekström, cyclingnews.com correspondent

Italian Davide Rebellin took the victory in stage 1 from Igor Astarloa (Mercatone Uno) and Michael Boogerd (Rabobank) in a close sprint in Asteasu, near San Sebastian. The stage was very fast, and although many cyclists made serious attempts to break away from the peloton, it wasn't until they reached the final second category climb of Alkiza (4 km at 6%) that a handful of riders managed to open up a few seconds gap on the descent.

An early nine man break including Alberto Elli (Telekom), Igor Gonzalez de Galdeano (ONCE) and Koos Moerenhout (DOMO) was caught shortly after the race passed the finish in Asteasu for the first time. The category 2 climb Andazarrate (5.5 km at 6%) was crossed twice during the stage, and Unai Osa (iBanesto.com) won the mountain prize both times. Fabio Roscioli (Jazztel) jumped away with 40 kilometers to go, but was quickly caught by Andrea Tafi (Mapei) and Sascha Henrix (Coast). No-one seemed very pleased with Roscioli's move.

The last 30 kilometers before the final climb was mostly uphill and was driven at a high pace so no breaks occurred. Gianni Faresin (Liquigas) made an attempt to escape at the foot of Alkiza with ten kilometers left of the stage. He was soon caught by Euskaltel's Txema Del Olmo, who saw his plans ruined when Francesco Casagrande (Fassa Bortolo) caught him. Casagrande and Del Olmo then went away together three times, and it was Raimondas Rumsas' (Fassa Bortolo) turn to chase Del Olmo.

The pace slowed down two kilometers before the top of the climb, and it was yet again up to Del Olmo to raise the speed. Close to the mountain sprint there were five Euskaltel riders riding at the front, closely followed by Francesco Casagrande and Michael Boogerd (Rabobank). The final mountain prize was won by Igor Astarloa.

Davide Extebarria (Euskatel) and Astarloa then managed to split up the remaining 40 riders on the descent, by working really hard together. With two kilometers to go Davide Rebellin, Txema Del Olmo, Candido Barbosa (Banesto), Michael Boogerd, Raimondas Rumsas, Abraham Olano (ONCE) and Casagrande caught the two riders, and together they managed a few seconds gap.

Extebarria took the early lead in the sprint, thanks to superb help from Txema Del Olmo. With 100 meters to go, he was passed by Rebellin in the middle of the road, was also managed to fight down a good but misjudged sprint from Astarloa.
