Stage 5 - February 16: Olvera - Sevilla, 172.8 km
Boonen bounces back
|
After two consecutive days of being beaten by Alessandro Petacchi, Tom Boonen won the final sprint to take stage 5 of this year's Vuelta Andalucia, finishing in front of Petacchi (Milram) and Roger Hammond (Discovery Channel). Unibet.com continued to enjoy great early season form, with Baden Cooke taking fourth on the stage and Carlos García Quesada winning the race overall.
The 172.8 kilometres from Olvera to Seville began with a breakaway and continued in that fashion, with seven riders going clear after only half an hour. Manuel Ortega (Andalucia-Paul Versan), Alessandro Petacchi (Milram), Tom Boonen (Quick-Step), Erik Dekker (Rabobank), Leif Hoste (Discovery Channel), Jon Bru (Kaiku) and Anton Luengo (Euskaltel-Euskadi) tried their luck out front, but the maximum lead they established was just 52 seconds.
The two category 3 climbs on the course meant that this stage would see a host of attacks throughout the day, and it didn't disappoint - after 56km only Dekker and Hoste remained on their own out front, working well together to try and stay away. By the final climb of the Alto de Carmona after 98km, the duo had established a lead of about 1'30" and the main field decided it was time to start reeling the pair in.
|
The desire of teams to get their sprinters to the front produced a serious crash with 10km to go [only Francisco José Terciado (Relax-GAM) was forced from the race as a result], and it wasn't until 2km before the finish that Dekker and Hoste were caught. It was then time for the Milram and Quick Step teams to do their thing for fast men Petacchi and Boonen respectively, with De Jongh, Tosatto and finally Trenti all taking their turns to guide Boonen to the 150m mark where 'Tornado Tom' took over and threw his bike perfectly to peg one back over his Italian rival.
|
"This is a great victory - a victory that rewards great team work," said Boonen after the finish. "Once again today the team work was perfect." He admitted that "I made a few silly mistakes over the past few days probably because I was a bit nervous," but today it all worked well for the Belgian. "Today I launched the sprint, Petacchi caught up with and overtook me but I was able to re-launch myself, catch up with and overtake him. This is the most important thing for me!"
|
With a small lead going into today's stage, the pressure was on local boy Carlos García Quesada, but with strong teamwork he was able to retain his advantage over Rodrigo García (Kaiku) and his brother, Adolfo García Quesada (Andalucia-Paul Versan) to take the win, the biggest of his five-year pro career.
"This hasn't been a simple victory, said García Quesada of his win. "Since the first day, and after the break the race came down to seven riders; I've been a bit nervous, and the pressure has been constant since all of us weren't separated by a big margin - the smallest mistake could cost you the final triumph," emphasized Garcia Quesada. He added that, "this race has been different to what I expected; more complicated, and I haven't been able to enjoy the win that I consider to be the most important of my career." Although he's won a stage of the Vuelta a Espana, Garcia Quesada still believes this is the most important win of his career, saying, "The stage win at the Vuelta a Espana is different; I don't know which of the two achievements is more important but for now I'll stick with this."
