Mancebo hangs on for overall, as Brochard takes final stage
By João Cravo
The final stage of the Vuelta a Castilla y Leon, which contained three Cat.1 and one Cat.2 climbs, should have been the one to decide the overall winner, but it wasn't. All the favourites were in the group that arrived in Avila three seconds behind stage winner Laurent Brochard (AG2R), and this way Francisco Mancebo (iBanesto.com) stood at the top of the GC. Denis Menchov, who finished the stage in the same time as Mancebo, would never attack his teammate, and Alex Zülle wasn't able to do it. So, the status quo was maintained.
Just a couple of weeks ago, the team manager of Milaneza-MSS told Cyclingnews that he was sure that "if Portuguese teams are invited more often to race outside Portugal, people will be surprised by the quality of teams such as LA Pecol and Carvalhelhos-Boavista."
The performance of the former at the Vuelta a Asturias and of the latter at this race confirms the words of a man who definitely knows what he's talking about. The winner of the teams classification in this stage, Carvalhelhos-Boavista, could have assured itself an invitation to other races on the international calendar.
The absence of the sun was noted by the 128 riders that started the stage. First to the top of the Cat. 2 climb of Navalmoral at km 18 was Javier Zapata (05 Orbitel), who stayed away for another 9 km in the company of Jesus Manzano and Antonio Tauler (Kelme-Costa Blanca), José Carlos Silva (Carvalhelhos-Boavista) and Jonathan Gonzalez (ONCE-Eroski). At km 36, the five leaders were joined by five other riders, Vladimir Karpets and Vicente Garcia Acosta (iBanesto.com), Unai Etxebarria and Mikel Artetxe (Euskaltel-Euskadi) and Marlon Perez (05 Orbitel). Now with ten men, the breakaway increased its advantage over the peloton from 18" to 2'02".
At the Cat. 1 climb of Mijares (km 52) Zapata was the first ahead of Etxebarria and Gonzalez. By km 95, the composition of the breakaway group had changed a little. Karpets, Garcia Acosta, Gonzalez, Artexte and Silva were still part of it, and now they had the company of Thomas Voeckler (Brioches La Boulangère), Cyril Dessel (Phonak), Hernan Bonilla (05 Orbitel), Pablo Lastras (iBanesto.com), Mikel Pradera (ONCE) and Jose Maestre and Nacor Burgos (Relax-Fuenlabrada). The first peloton was riding 1'50" behind.
Pradera was alone in front of the race when he won the Cat. 1 climb of Serranillos at km 120. Leading a small group that also included Etxebarria, Lastras, Burgos and Alexandre Botcharov (AG2R), Zapata was the second to cross the line 1'20" after Pradera. The first peloton arrived there 2'18" after the leader.
Approached from a different side, Navalmoral become a Cat. 1 climb for the second passage at km 157. At the top, José Pecharroman (Paternina-Costa de Almeria) was the first, 31" ahead of Ivan Parra (Kelme) and 35" in front of the group of favourites.
Over the last 25 km, several riders tried to escape but iBanesto.com wasn't in the mood to lose the yellow jersey so close to the end, and all attempts naturally failed. A few meters under the red kite, Brochard and Félix Cardenas (05 Orbitel) attacked to decide the winner of the stage. The former world champion Brochard is a better sprinter than Cardenas, and won.
