Garate makes the right moves in rain-sodden stage

Spain's Juan Manuel Garate (Lampre-Daikin) was the ultimate beneficiary today of a 14-rider breakaway and a tired peloton more interested in just surviving the lousy conditions than in pursuing a band of riders that posed no threat to anyone's GC ambitions.

Literal and figurative clouds dogged today's race. Literally, the weather had changed and grey skies and rain greeted the riders as they assembled in Tarragona for the 170.5km trip to Vinarós. Figuratively, the peloton was tired from the previous day's 46km/h mad dash and the day was marred by the withdrawal of Joseba Beloki because of the respiratory infection that cost him the lead on Tuesday.

Despite all this, the streets of Tarragona were almost crowded when the riders assembled. Five teams were blood-tested today and 40 riders from US Postal, Once, Jazztell, Festina and Mapei were pronounced fit to race.

The first 10km were neutralized in fact if not in regulation, until Karsten Kroon (Rabobank) briefly escaped, spent a few kilometres down the road on his own and was recaptured. After that, it was business as usual with numerous attempts to escape by riders from the US Postal, Once, Jazztell, Festina and Mapei teams, and Kelme controlling the action to protect race leader Sevilla.

After 30km things calmed down when the peloton hit the base of the second category Alto de Fatxas. Gaining 500m over 13km it wasn't a severe test for the climbers, but a good excuse to ride en masse for a while as the temperature dropped from 23 degrees in Tarragona to 19 degrees in the hills.

As the peloton climbed, the weather improved, and the rain stopped more or less as the leaders rested the Alto. First across the top was Serguei Smetanine (Jazztel), followed by, Klaus Möller (Milaneza-MSS), Jose María Jimenez (iBanesto.com), Niki Aebersold (Coast), Joao Silva (Milaneza) and Angel Vicioso (Kelme)

The descent and the next several dozen kilometres saw a regrouping followed by numerous unsuccessful attempts at breakaways. After 80km, a five rider group got away, and they were quickly joined by another nine to form a concerted escape committee.

Hiding the dirt under the floorboards today were: Julian Dean (US Postal), Alexander Shefer (Alessio), Jon Odriozola (iBanesto.com), Juan Carlos Dominguez (iBanesto.com), Tomas Konecny (Domo), Carlos Golbano (Jazztel), Juan Manuel Garate (Lampre-Daikin), Mariano Piccoli (Lampre-Daikin), Dario David Cioni (Mapei-), Jörg Jaksche (O.N.C.E.), Marc Lotz (Rabobank), Oscar Laguna (Colchon Relax), Salvatore Commesso (Saeco), and Alberto Elli (Telekom).

Over the next 50km the lead group built up a gap of 5.28 and with no sign of interest from the peloton in chasing them down, their lead continued to build. When they passed through Sant Carles de la Rápita at the 148km they were cheered on by the large crowds that lined the streets despite the rain, and the gap had increased to eight minutes.

13km out from the finish the riders found a dry spell, but in Vinaros it was raining; a sodden finale loomed. Its margin still at over eight minutes, the lead group began to jockey for advantage in the closing kilos, with Jon Odriozola, and Julian Dean among the first to attempt an escape. They failed, but Odriozola's teammate Juan Carlos Domínguez and Juan Manuel Gárate, succeeded, and the two rode relays to build a 35 second advantage over their breakaway companions.

On the line, Gárate was strongest, taking the victory by a margin of a few metres. A very bedraggled peloton straggled in over nine minutes later, having made no attempt at pursuit.

The breakaway had no significant effect on the general classification, with Oscar Sevilla retaining the leader's gold jersey for another day.

Tomorrow's stage is the longest of this year's race, covering 207km from Valencia to Alto de Aitana. It ends in a 1,250m Special Category climb and provides the penultimate chance for the specialist climbers to shine. With two second category climbs in the approach, tomorrow promises to be a long, hard day in the saddle.
