Alessandro Petacchi (Fassa Bortolo) has won the first stage of the Valencia in a race marred by numerous falls in dusty conditions.
The stage was short but mountainous with a first category climb in the first half of the stage, and a third cat in the last 30km.
Race radio was punctuated though the afternoon with cries of "Fall! Fall!" from the announcer, starting almost as the riders first turned the pedals.
While their colleagues checked the damage, two riders tried to escape: Gonzalo Bavarri (Jazztel-Costa de Almeria) and German Nieto (Relax-Fuenlabrada) were away from the sixth kilometre. After 45km, at the top of the first category col de Rates they had a six minute advantage.
But it didn't last, as a group within the peloton organised the chase and the pair were swallowed up on the third category côte de Benissa.
In the remaining 30km the groups delayed by earlier crashes rejoined the main peloton. On the day's final climb, a minor fourth category hill, Luis Perez escaped but was caught on the descent.
Two kilometres from the finish the cry of "Fall! Fall!" went up again. Oscar Freire (Mapei-Quick Step) and four other riders went down at a roundabout, but were unhurt. Then, 300m from the finish, Mario Cipollini (Acqua&Sapone) joined the ranks of the downed, sliding in very dusty and slippery conditions. Freire and Cipollini were unhurt.
Coming so late in the stage, this final fall broke the organisation of the sprinters' teams and Alessandro Petacchi was the main beneficiary, sprinting across the line ahead of team-mate Dimitri Konyshev, Angel Vicioso (Kelme-Costa Blanca), Erik Dekker (Rabobank) and Erik Zabel (Telekom).
"This is an exceptional moment for us (Fassa Bortolo); we dominated in France (at Tour of Med) with Bartoli and now we're doing the same here in Spain," said Petacchi. "I could not have imagined a better start to the season."
Petacchi notched his second win of 2002 in Calpe. "Last season, I broke my collarbone in February and it took me months to get into condition. This year, I've already started out well. I'll go all-out through the Giro, then skip the Tour in favor of the Vuelta, as I want to be selected for the Worlds this year."
When asked about the upcoming Milano-San Remo. Petacchi responded that..." its my dream to win this race; I am from Liguria (La Spezia) and it's a fascinating race...there will be a lot of riders going for a win in San Remo and I'm hoping to be there too..."
Tomorrow's stage from Calpe to Castellon is the tour's longest at 216km. It includes two major climbs: the third category côte de Benissa near the start and the Puerto de L'Oronet (second category), 62km from the finish.
