José Ivan Gutierrez dominates Montjuich

Spanish rider José Ivan Gutierrez gave iBanesto.com its last ever victory, winning the 40th edition of the Escalada a Montjuich ahead of Santiago Pérez (Phonak) and Joaquin Rodriguez (ONCE-Eroski). Gutierrez won both the 24.3 km road race and the 7 km time trial, and claimed the final general classification by 35 seconds. Rodriguez and Perez finished second and fifth in the road race, and third and second respectively in the time trial.

The time trial was disturbed by a heavy thunderstorm that fell on the final group of riders, including Kelme's Alejandro Valverde, who eventually finished 8th overall, 1'35 behind Gutierrez.
