Beloki wins final stage but Pecharroman overall
Joseba Beloki (ONCE) has won the final stage of the Euskal Bizikleta, but wasn't able to put enough time into Jose Pecharroman (Costa de Almeria) to take the overall victory. Beloki beat Haimar Zubeldia (Euskaltel) and Francesco Casagrande (Lampre) at the finish in Arrate, with Pecharroman finishing fourth at 4 seconds. The latter started with a 1'05 gap to Beloki, and was thus never endangered.
The tough final stage from ETB to Arrate was marked by eight categorised climbs, including three of the first category. Only Raimondas Rumsas (Lampre) didn't start, reducing the peloton to 106 riders. Six riders attacked on the first climb of the day (km 8), including Jon Odriozola (iBanesto), Angel Castresana (ONCE), Rui Lavarinhas (Milaneza), David Etxebarria (Euskaltel), Javier Pascual Llorente (Kelme) and Mario Aerts (Telekom). They gained a lead that hovered between 3'00 and 4'00, but were not allowed to get any further in front.
On the Cat. 1 climb of Ixua (km 67), Koldo Gil and Joaquin Rodriguez (ONCE), Juan Antonio Flecha (Kelme) and Txema del Olmo (Milaneza) attacked from the peloton, trying to close the gap to the leaders. They got to within 1'20 at the top and were joined by Gorka Gerrikagoitia (Euskaltel), but were ultimately unable to close the gap to the six leaders, which were splitting up on the climbs.
In front Lavarinhas, Etxebarria, Odriozola and Aerts dropped their companions, with Etxebarria proving to be the strongest on the Cat. 1 climb of Azurki (km 121). He led Odriozola by 30", Lavarinhas by 1'15 and Aerts by 1'30, while Flecha and his two companions were at 2'00, and the peloton at 2'30.
Etxebarria was caught just before the top of the final climb of Usartza (km 146) with Pecharroman, Casagrande, Beloki, Zubeldia and Piepoli taking the points. After a short descent to the finish, it was Beloki who had the best sprinting legs, beating Zubeldia and Casagrande.
