Vazquez wins – barely
By Bjorn Haake

Manuel Vazquez of Contentpolis Murcia won the opening stage of the Regio Tour ahead of Rubiano Chavez (Centri della Calzatura). Vazquez and Chavez saved a slim five-second margin to the finish. The sprint of a 22-rider group was won by Björn Schröder (Milram).
Vazquez had a rocky start but then raced perfectly. "I had difficulties in the beginning of the stage, but later I felt better and fortunately was rewarded. It was clear to me that I had to give it a shot in my terrain, the mountains... I am very content with the result, especially since there are the ProTour teams of Milram, Gerolsteiner and Rabobank here."
For the coming days Vazquez is still skeptical. "It will be difficult to keep the leader's jersey because of the time bonuses at the intermediate sprints. But that doesn't mean we will just give it up. The time trial also pre-occupies me, as that is not my specialty. But the last stage is mountainous again!"
The best local rider was Andreas Henig in 25th. "We didn't go into the Blauen all that fast, but towards the top the pace picked up. I am not quite the climber." Henig is the reigning German U23 time trial champion and is really looking forward to the race against the clock on Saturday. "I think I can do well. A top 10 would be awesome."
An initial 33-rider move proved to be decisive. Vazquez had tried to escape from that group with Christiano Salerno (LPR Brakes), but the two were brought back 45 kilometres from the line. Eventually 24 riders reached the bottom of the 1,100-metre high Blauen, the second and final KOM of the day.
Several attacks went off the front, but most were brought back. It wasn't until after the halfway point of the climb when a promising move developed. A small group of half a dozen riders went clear off the main break, around 30km from the finish. The move included Vazquez, Rubiano Chavez, Dario Andriotto (Acqua & Sapone) and Vazquez' team-mate Manuel Calvente, who was very active. Eventually, Vazquez and Chavez went clear and kept their lead through the descent. With two kilometres to go they still had 22 seconds. At the flamme rouge it was 11 seconds. They maintained five seconds on the line and Vazquez easily outsprinted Rubiano Chavez.
Schröder managed to secure the sprinters' jersey, scoring in all three sprints and receiving a total of 17 points. He leads Vazquez by two points. The active Vazquez in turn is heading the mountains classification. He was two for two in the stage, securing both cat 1 climbs. Vazquez has a ten-point lead over Italian Luca Zanasca. Second-placed Miguel Angel Rubiano Chavez is the leader in the young rider classification.
Tomorrow's second stage is in France. The 181 kilometres from Lutterbach to Soultz will likely end in a sprint.
