In an unconventional start to the Tour of Catalonia, the ONCE team
powered to victory in the first stage's team time trial over a deceptive
course that included false flat sections. As the first member of the
team across the line Marcos Serrano becomes nominal race leader, but
his team-mates Jorg Jaksche and Joseba Beloki are stronger tips for
the overall win, and it's their 47 second advantage over the field that
ONCE will be defending over the next several days.
For some of the favourites, the weakness of their team in today's race
of truth could mean the race is over before it really gets started.
It's hard to see how Roberto Heras (US Postal) and Pavel Tonkov (Mercury-Viatel)
can come back from deficits of 1:51 and three minutes respectively against
a confident and powerful ONCE.
That said, this race will be decided in the mountains. Friday's 173.5km
stage from Sabadell to Blanes starts the climbing action with two first
category and two second category climbs.
