No problems for Contador
Cancellara takes final time trial
Alberto Contador (Liberty Seguros-Wurth) has triumphed in the 42nd Setmana Catalana after finishing fourth in the final stage, a 16km time trial around his team sponsor's headquarters in Palau Solita i Plegamans. The stage was won by Swiss specialist Fabian Cancellara, who clocked 19.29 for the distance, beating Tom Danielson (Discovery) by 7 seconds, and Vladimir Karpets (Illes Balears) by 10. None of these riders were a big threat to Contador on GC, although Danielson managed to slot himself into fourth overall as a result of his ride.
Cancellara was one of the first riders to start, and his time withstood the early challenges of Robert Hunter (Phonak) and Xavier Florencio (Relax Fuenlabrada), who held the top three positions for quite some time until Bruseghin (Fassa Bortolo) and Karpets (Illes Balears) slotted into third and second. Karpets held second place for a while until Tom Danielson came home with a great ride that put him just seven seconds behind Cancellara and moved him from 10th to 4th on GC.
The top three in the stage were unchanged after Danielson finished his ride, and all that remained was for Contador to hold Peio Arreitunandia (Barloworld) at bay, which he did easily. Contador was placed second at the first intermediate time check (km 8.4), before dropping back slightly to finish fourth at 12 seconds behind Cancellara. That was more than enough to give him the overall victory and the combination classification, and his team rounded off a good week by winning the team's classification. Claudio Corioni (Fassa Bortolo) won the points jersey and Luis Perez Romero (Relax) the mountains.
