Davis shows his climbing skills
Australian sprinter Allan Davis (Liberty Seguros) finally accomplished his stage win on the Vuelta a Aragon's final day, proving his sprinter's as well as his climbing talents! On the uphill straight to the finish line, Davis stayed in front of Ricardo Serrano (Kaiku) and Enrico Gasparotto (Liquigas-Bianchi). GC leader Ruben Plaza's Comunidad Valenciana team protected his placing firmly in the fifth and last stage and Plaza was able to take his yellow jersey home safely, after successfully countering final attacks of his biggest challengers.
How it unfolded
The day was marked by a breakaway of six riders: Roger Beuchat (Barloworld-Valsir), Stéphane Auge (Cofidis), Josu Sillóniz (Euskaltel-Euskadi), Luciano Pagliarini (Liquigas-Bianchi), Javier Benítez (Relax-Fuenlabrada) and Beñat Albizuri (Orbea), who managed to build up a significant lead after Ricardo Serrano (Kaiku), who was initially with them, decided to let go and return to the peloton. His presence would have condemned the break, as he was placed only 1.51 behind the leader on GC, whereas the other riders posed no threat to Comunidad Valenciana.
The leading group worked well together and by the time it reached the La Almunia de Doña Godina after 54 km, the gap was 6.30 minutes. However, the big teams were not ready to give away a possible stage win that easily, and accelerated their pace to catch the break just a few kilimetres before the finish, located on a climb in Illueca.
The battle was then open, and Luis Perez (Cofidis) jumped to see if the 20 seconds between himself and the GC leader could be made up - but in vain, as Palza easily countered. Allan Davis was on his wheel, as well as Vladimir Efimkin (Barloworld-Valsir) and David López (Euskaltel-Euskadi). Meanwhile, Fassa Bortolo was shifting gears to drive its leader to the finish, but Alessandro Petacchi just wasn't able to keep up with the pace of the allrounders on this climb. Davis on the contrary managed to maintain his speed and even leave behind the overall contenders - a remarkable performance by the 24 year-old "sprinter", who even stayed on top of a final attack by Félix Cardenas (Barloworld-Valsir).
