Konecny on the line after another high-speed chase

by Gabriella Ekström

27 year old Tomas Konecny won the 16th stage of the Vuelta after a close sprinting duel with Euskaltel's David Extebarria.

The whole stage was very fast, and Klaus Möller (Milaneza-MSS) Jose María Jimenez (iBanesto) and Karsten Kroon (Rabobank) were the first riders to attack. After they had been brought back, Unai Osa (iBanesto), David Millar (Cofidis), Eleuterio Anguita(Jazztel), Victor Hugo Peña (US Postal), Luca Paolini (Mapei) and Mariano Piccoli (Lampre) tried their luck. After a while, most riders but Millar gave up, and Millar was on his own.

At the 39 km mark, a group of 13 riders joined up with him, and after 60 kilomtres it was Dariusz Baranowski (iBanesto), Alberto Elli (Telekom), Angel Vicioso (Kelme) Guido Trenti (Cantina Tollo), Jan Boven (Rabobank) and Robert Hunter (Lampre) who were still with Millar. Their maximum gap was 2.20.

Virenque makes a move

With 30 kilometres to go, the break was neutralized. The power engine in the peloton had been Domo Farm Frites, who had all their riders but Virenque in the chase. Virenque's form has been increasing and today's second category climb of Cresto del Gallo was right in line with the Frenchman's ideas.

The strong climbers in the peloton broke away on the Cresto del Gallo which was located close to the finish. The climb wasn't very long but extremely steep. Many teams had fought during the stage to place their sprinters in a position where they could rejoin on the descent. The descent though, was very narrow and the road quality was bad.

Carlos Sastre (ONCE) got away with two kilometres to the summit and he entered the descent with a 12 second gap. Sastre misjudged a turn early on the descent but managed to stay upright. It was obvious that he became very nervous and a little further down the climb his nerves took over. He went right over the edge of the road in a bend, and crashed into a rocky ravine. A spectator tried to prevent the Spaniard from falling down by reaching for him, and that probably slowed his fall down. He got back on his bike but was obviously shocked and torn.

Meanwhile Virenque had broken away from the peloton with US Postal's "Chechu" Rubiera.

They managed a 15-second gap but it wasn't enough to stay away. They were caught just as they went under the red kilometre flag, and from then it was the sprinters' business. Davide Extebarria (Euskaltel) got an early advantage but could not answer the strong sprint presented by Czech rider Tomas Konecny who took his 24th victory as a professional.

Today's stage meant no major changes in the general classification.
