25th Vuelta a Murcia - 2.1
Spain, March 2-6, 2005
Stage 1 - March 2: Murcia - Molina de Segura, 162 km
Hondo takes first win of the season
Gerolsteiner's Danilo Hondo could finally celebrate this season with a victory in the first stage of the Vuelta a Murcia, raced between Murcia and Molina de Segura. Hondo beat Australian Allan Davis (Liberty Seguros) and Eric Baumann (T-Mobile) in a bunch sprint. The German benefited from the work of his team, with Levi Leipheimer, Peter Wrolich and René Haselbacher making up the leadout train.
The main breakaway of today's stage came from Andrea Tafi (Saunier Duval) and Peter Wuyts (MrBookmaker.com-SportsTech), who stayed away until 10 km to go thanks to the controlling work of the Liberty Seguros team. However, Liberty couldn't quite finish it off for sprinter Davis, as Hondo had the quicker legs at the finish.
Tomorrow's second stage is largely flat a 22 km time trial, starting and finishing in Alhama de Murcia.
