Dekker does the deed in Granada
Toni Colom secures the overall
|
Last year's Vuelta a Andalucia overall winner Erik Dekker managed to salvage a stage win and sixth overall on the general classification as the five day race ended in Granada today. Dekker led home a five man breakaway group: Adolfo Garcia Quesada (iBanesto.com), Axel Merckx (Domo), Mikel Zarrabeitia (ONCE) and Luis Pérez (Coast) which finished 9 seconds ahead of the main peloton that contained overall leader Antonio Colom (Relax). Colom had enough of an advantage to hold onto his lead, and he won the overall by 16 seconds from Axel Merckx, with Javier Pascual Rodríguez (iBanesto) in third.
The final stage from Málaga to Granada was by no means an easy procession to the finish. The category 1 climb of Puerto De La Cabra Montes loomed at 100.3 kilometres, and there were a couple of category 3 climbs to follow. A group of seven riders attacked after 5 kilometres for the first intermediate sprint, but there was no immediate reaction by the peloton and they rode away for the first part of the stage.
The group contained Luis Pérez, Alexis Rodríguez (Kelme), Christian Pfannberger (Nürnberger), Dimitri Konyshev (Fassa Bortolo), Xabier Florencio Cabre (ONCE), Pablo Lastras (iBanesto.com) and Nicolas Inaudi (Ag2R). Perez was the best placed on GC at 16'36, so the group did not present a threat to Toni Colom.
They established a lead that hovered between two and three minutes, but could never get clear of the attentive peloton. Adolfo García Quesada (iBanesto) gave chase after 65 kilometres, while in front the group had already started to split. Perez and Florencio attacked with 25 kilometres to go to the top of the first big climb (Puerto De La Cabra Montes), and the rest of the break were then caught.
The climb changed the face of the race again, as Juan Miguel Mercado (iBanesto) got clear from the main bunch to take the points from Mikel Zarrabeitia (ONCE), Ivan Basso (Fassa Bortolo), Adolfo García Quesada (iBanesto), Axel Merckx (Domo) and Luis Perez (Coast). At the top, the gap to the peloton was 56 seconds, and Dekker went on the attack along with Manuel Beltran and Adolfo Garcia.
Dekker won the next category 3 climb (Puerto De El Chaparral, km 109) as the breakaway got rid of Mercado. On the descent, their lead was 1'50 meaning that Axel Merckx was the virtual leader of the race. Gradually the gap came down as the break began to lose more riders, and Colom's Relax team worked hard to chase them. At the foot of the final climb (Puerto De La Malaha, km 142) it was around 1 minute - by the top it was down to 46 seconds as Etxebarria, Shefer, Cabello and Colom poured on the pressure.
Merckx needed to win by 25 seconds to take the overall, so the chase was really on over the final 15 kilometres. Colom was on the front doing what seemed like every second or third turn, and it paid off as he finished just 9 seconds behind Merckx in seventh place. It was enough to claim overall victory as Dekker won the stage in front of Adolfo Garcia Quesada and Merckx.
"My triumph is no surprise to me", commented Antonio Colom afterwards. "In the first race of the season, in Majorca, it was already clear that I had prepared very well for the early season. My advantage is that I am not a well-known rider and for that reason I was not as closely watched as others".
Colom went on to explain that "the men to beat were Francisco Cabello and the Dutch rider Erik Dekker, winner of the Ruta last year. In Majorca, I showed that I was in form and I proved it when I won the last stage. This is the most important victory of my career and I want to dedicate it to my sister who has Down's syndrome".
