Filippo Simeoni in bike-kissing finale

Cantina Tollo's Filippo Simeoni won win the 18th stage of the Vuelta a Espana today after he managed to escape from what was originally a fourteen man break away.

The stage started out very fast with numerous attacks, but after the group of fourteen had got away, Euskaltel's Roberto Laiseka rode to the front of the peloton and asked for a time out. Weirdly enough, especially since Euskaltel had Haimar Zubeldia in the break, the peloton slowed down.

The break with the following riders; Santiago Blanco (iBanesto), Inigo Cuesta (Cofidis), Massimo Giunti, Filippo Simeoni (Cantina Tollo), Luca Paolini (Mapei), Haimar Zubeldia (Euskaltel), Rui Lavarinhas (Milaneza), Julio Alberto Perez (Panaria), Oscar Laguna (Colchon), Rafael Dias Justo (ONCE), Geert Verheyen (Rabobank) and Eric Zabel (Telekom) managed to keep a gap of three minutes for a long time, but it was thanks to lack of interest in the peloton rather than the formidable team work seen at the front.

When the peloton finally started to eat up the gap, the front riders knew that they had to attack in order to survive. Julio Perez was the first rider to go away up the road, and after he was brought back Oscar Laguna tried his luck. When they reached the only categorised climb of the day, the Alto del Castillo with 15 kms to go, it was time for Santi Blanco to show his stuff. The peloton were now less than a minute away and all the top climbers fought it out in the gutter rather than on the pavé.

With ten kilometers to go, Blanco had a lead of seven seconds when he suddenly crashed on the descent. He couldn't get his bike back in order and was passed by the five closest chasing riders, but was able to join the peloton who followed at a minutes distance.

By then, Filippo Simeoni had attacked and quickly increased his lead. Verheyen, Dias Justo, Lavarinhas, Cuesta and Zubeldia were still chasing, but his gap kept on growing. Santi Blanco topped off his day with another crash on the descent, this time injuring his right shoulder.

When Simeoni entered Cuencha the gap was 25 seconds and noone could threaten him. The 30 year old rider stopped two metres in front of the line and kissed his bike and then carried it over the line to take the fifth victory in his career.
