Tour de San Luis - 2.2
Argentina, January 22-27, 2008
Prologue - January 22: San Luis (ITT), 3.5km
Garrido prevails in the TT
By Hernan Alvarez
Argentina's Martin Garrido (Palmeiras Resort-Tavira) won the Tour de San Luis prologue on Tuesday, riding the short 3.5 kilometre time trial in just 4 minutes 26 seconds. Another two local riders completed the podium: Fernando Antogna (Chivilcoy) was second, two seconds slower, while Alejandro Borrajo (Colavita) was a further second behind.
Last year's tour winner Jorge Giacinti (Scott-Marcondes), the last to start, finished in 4'33" (seven seconds slower than the best time) and placed 12th. The big ProTour names finished some way down: Frank Schleck (Team CSC) was 42nd, David Cañada (Saunier Duval) 57th and Andy Schleck (Team CSC) 84th.
The biggest race (UCI 2.2 category) in Argentina continues on Wednesday with the 168.4 km stage between San Luis city and Villa Mercedes. With only one category 3 climb at km 20.9, the sprinters are expected to dominate.
