Vuelta a Espana 1997, UCI Grand Tour

Spain, September 6-28, 1997

Stage 16, Cangas De Onus - Santander, 170 kms


Stage Report

Czech Jan Svorada got his 2nd stage win at la Vuelta by taking the 16th stage. This was a typical recuperation stage after the tough mountain stages. It wouldn't be until Km37 when the 1st attacks would come, after the climb of Picos de Europa, which was started by Stefano Colage (Refin) & Biagio Conte (Scrigno). The escape didn't last long and was followed by others, the most important by Marino Alonso (Banesto), who reached a maximum of 1:04 over the peloton, but was caught by the sprinter's teams. The attacks were useless and Mapei dominated and setup Svorada, who didn't dissapoint.
