Italy's Alessandro Petacchi (Fassa Bortolo), made it two wins out of two after winning the second stage in a sprint from Mario Cipollini, while German sprint specialist Erik Zabel had to settle for third place.
In the first stage Petacchi had benefited from a rash of falls that took leading riders such as Spanish World Champion Oscar Freire and Cipollini out of the picture. Today it was all Petacchi. Two of the more fancied sprinters, Dutchman Jeroen Blijlevens and Spain's Oscar Freire, were prominent in the race for the line but could not find a way past Petacchi.
"I did not expect a second victory, but I felt well within myself in the final kilometres and I could benefit from marking between the great sprinters, Zabel, Cipollini and Freire," said Petacchi.
The other hero of the day was Spaniard Dario Gadeo, who had tried a very valient solo escape early in the race. Breaking away at the 53 km mark, Dario Gadeo at one stage built up a nine minute lead on the peloton. However battling into the strong headwind made it heavy going for the Jazztel rider and he was reeled in with 18 kms to go.
Argentinian Gustavo Toledo and the Spaniard Garcia Calvo, joined forces to mount another breakaway nine kms from the line, however they too were caught by the powerful sprinting teams.
"I really like these finshes (at Valencia) with a slight uphill grade..." stated Alessandro Petacchi, winner of his second consecutive stage at Vuelta Valenciana ahead of Mario Cipollini and Erik Zabel.
"Even more", said Fassa DS Stefano Zanatta, "Alessandro has the leader's jersey and that give him double the energy and really unites the team. Acqua&Sapone did excellent job to set up Cipollini for the sprint, but Petacchi was brilliant the way he moved up while the entire peloton was strung out single file to get to the front."
"Compared with last year, we have just had good luck to get to where we are," said Zanatta. "The team is pretty much the same as last year, the riders' training programs have not changed, not have the races...the big difference is that our riders are healthy. A year ago in the first race (Tour of Med '01) Basso and Petacchi crashed out, then we lost Ivanov at Tirreno-Adriatico and then there was a lot of other bad luck that hurt us, especially losing Casagrande at the Giro".
Zanatta concluded by saying that he was pleased with Fassa Bortolo's performance at the Vuelta Valenciana; "Petacchi is riding well but he's not a rider for the final GC; that's up to Belli, Gonchar and Basso. But this Petacchi could be a big surprise in Milano-San Remo; but I also see that (Oscar) Friere is riding well and as always, Zabel is almost in his best form; he is riding well on the climbs and his sprint is right there...so Zabel is still the favorite for Milano-San Remo."
The third stage is expected to provide a change in the leader board with the 159.5 km stage containing the first category one climb of the race, as well as a cat 2 and three, category three climbs.
