Jose Maria 'El Chaba' Jimenez (iBanesto.com) scored his second stage win in this year's Vuelta, on the toughest stage of the race. Jimenez rode away from the leading peloton on the second last climb of the day to take a two minute lead, and he was not seen again until he was on the podium celebrating his victory. The GC saw another shakeup, as race leader Beloki had a terrible day and lost 20 minutes. Oscar Sevilla (Kelme) regained the lead with Angel Casero (Festina) in second.

Today's stage that started in Alp, and finished in Pal (Andorra) covered no less than six categorised climbs, and it was fast from the gun. After only a few kilometres a big group formed and the riders were Chechu Rubiera, Antonio Cruz (USPS), Jon Odriozola, Aitor Osa (iBanesto), Aitor Garmendia (Coast), Juan Antonio Flecha (Colchon Relax), Jose Luis Rebollo (Festina), Iñigo Cuesta (Cofidis), Kyrylo Pospyeyev (Cantina Tollo), Dario Cioni (Mapei), Felix Cardenas, Toni Tauler, Jose Javier Gomez (Kelme), Daniele Di Paoli (Mercatone), Carlos Sastre (ONCE) and Gilberto Simoni (Lampre).

However such large groups are not normally very organized and this group was no exception. At the foot of the second climb, cat. 1 Font Romeau, the group was caught thanks to ONCE's hard work. Less grateful towards ONCE was Marco Pantani who struggled already in the first climb of the day, and later abandoned the stage, one of 12 riders to do so today.

After the two groups rejoined a new break went off, and eventually a front group of four was formed. Gilberto Simoni, Iñigo Cuesta, Felix Cardenas, and Aitor Garmendia rode strongly together, followed at 35 seconds by Santi Blanco (iBanesto), Toni Tauler (Kelme), David Etxebarria (Euskaltel), Carlos Sastre (ONCE), Chechu Rubiera (USPS) and Rui Lavarinhas (Milaneza). Rebollo and De Paoli caught up with the six riders close to the climb of Col de Puymorens, but during the ascent, all eight were caught. Banesto drove the peloton over the summit, two minutes down.

After the Col de Puymorens, another tough mountain, Port d'Envalira followed right after, and Joseba Beloki started to lag behind at this point. Banesto still controlled the peloton and the four front riders were less than a minute ahead.

David Millar took off at the bottom of Col d'Ordino in order to build up a little lead ahead of the tough climb, but was overtaken by Jose Maria Jimenez who came flying past. A group of some 25 brave climbers followed him at first, but was soon reduced to Heras, Rubiera, Leipheimer (USPS), Sevilla, Botero, Gomez Gozalo (Kelme), Laiseka, Mayo (Euskaltel), Igor Gonzalez de Galdeano (ONCE), Cuesta, Millar (Cofidis), Simoni (Lampre), Escartin (Team Coast), Aitor Osa, Santi Blanco, Juan Mercado (iBanesto), Casero (Festina) and Di Luca (Cantina Tollo). Beloki, now in tears, was five minutes down. He knew his Vuelta was over.

With 10 kilometres to go, at the foot of the last climb, the special category Estacion de esqui de Pal, Jimenez led by 1'43, which he pushed to 2'02 once the climb really started. Roberto Heras attacked in the chasing group and Simoni, Beltran, Laiseka, Mayo, Botero, Perez and Blanco lost contact. With five kilometres left to race Jimenez had two minutes on virtual leader Oscar Sevilla who chased behind together with Mercado, Heras, Escartin, Aitor Osa, Casero, and Möller. Rubiera followed right after, nursing Leipheimer who didn't quite have it today.

Chaba took off his little earpiece when he rode under the red flag and prepared himself to celebrate his second stage win in the Vuelta this year and his eighth Vuelta win in total. Mercado jumped away from the chasing group in order to try and make a double for iBanesto, but got too tired in the final metres and was passed on the line by non-sprinting specialist Escartin, who led the group over the line, 1.44 behind Jimenez.

Oscar Sevilla now leads the race 37 seconds ahead of Casero, and 1.46 ahead of Juan Miguel Mercado, with the 17 km mountain time trial to come tomorrow.
