3rd Vuelta a Chihuahua Internacional - 2.2Mexico, October 6-12, 2008Main Page Results Overall standings Previous Stage Next Stage Stage 2 - October 7: Parral - Guachochi, 188.7kmLadino now leaderBy Monika Prell in Guachochi Colombian rider Gregorio Ladino took the second stage of the Vuelta a Chihuahua from Parral to Guachochi. The 188.7km were marked by many breakaway attempts due to the hilly terrain, allowing the Tecos Trek rider to finish eight seconds ahead of last years overall victor Francisco Mancebo (Fercase Rota dos Moveis). Juan Pablo Magallanes managed third, 22 seconds behind the Colombian. Ladino escaped 25 kilometres before the finish and was very happy after the stage. "My team mates were always in the breakaway groups; I tried to keep my strength for the end. Last year I also did a good race, but I did not take the lead. This year, there are new types of rivals so I will try another strategy." His team-mate, Juan Pablo Magallanes, who became the new leader of the combativity classification, was another happy rider. "We are doing a very great race, the team is very good, and I thank God it is like this", said the 26-year-old after the finish. How it unfoldedThe second stage began with 116 riders in the Plaza de Glorieta, just at the side of the huge statue "Puerta del tiempo" (Door of time) that surmounts the silver mining town of Parral. The 188.7 tough kilometres took the peloton through the lonely mountains of the Sierra Tarahumara, and in the little villages many indigenous locals dressed in traditional attire were happy to see this great event; the school kids were even happier because the teacher had given them a day of holiday in order to add to the spectacle. Following a nervous start, three riders were able to escape after five kilometres - François Parisien (Race Pro), Patrick McCarthy (Garmin Chipotle) and Oscar Barrón (Orven). They reached a maximum advantage of 5:30 before José Carlos Váldez (Canels Turbo) and Juan Sandoval (Code Jalisco) began to pursue the trio. After 46 kilometres the trio in front became a quartet as Raúl Alcalá (Rica Burguer) moved up. Alcalá had just made his comeback to professional cycling, but he soon crashed and decided to abandon the race. Six kilometres later, 14 riders decided to purse the four in front. Virgilio Do Santos (Fercase), Alberto Benítez (Scott-American Beef), Danail Petrov (Benfica), Bjorn Thurau (Elk Haus), Ezequiel Mosquera (Xacobeo), Raúl Vázquez (Jalisco), Bernanrdo Colex y Carlos Oyarzun (Tecos), César Vaquera y Jesús Zárate (Orven), Uriel Clara, José Carlos Valdez y José R. Aguirre (Canels) and Jessel Valenzuela (UACH). At the 94km mark, however, the peloton chased down the attempted escapees. Björn Thurau (Elk Haus), Diego Nossotti (NGC), Bernardo Colex (Tecos) and Gerardo Soto (Jalisco) were next to go, and reached the quartet in front, although Barrón was not able to follow his team-mates. The peloton had decided to let the front group stay ahead and the field passed the summit at 104km two minutes and five seconds behind; even so, the riders between the head of the race and the peloton were chased down. Tecos Trek's Gregorio Ladino escaped the bunch for the first time, testing the waters for his stage-winning move. The mountain classification point at 115km saw McCarthy and Colex pass with a 32-second lead over Ladino and they were 40 seconds ahead of a group established by Francisco Mancebo (Fercase Rota dos Moveis), Francisco Matamoros (Tecos Trek), Juan Pablo Magallanes (Tecos Trek) and Iker Camaño (Scott-American Beef). Ladino soon joined the duo in front and several kilometres later the two groups were united. Colex was not able to follow the others, but the peloton reached the breakaway group and Francisco Matamoros (Tecos Trek) attacked. Juanjo Cobo (Scott-American Beef) and Juan Pablo Magallanes (Tecos Trek) tried their luck off the front and took the mountain classification points at 157.8km, gathering a handy 20-second lead over Vaz and McCarthy. On the descent they were joined by Joaquim Andrade (Fercase Rota dos Moveis). With about 20km to race, Ladino escaped, followed by Mancebo, who was not able to reach him. Ladino was able to defend his eight-second advantage over Mancebo and the 22-second buffer over Magallanes, who tried to reach Ladino together with Thomas Peterson (Garmin Chipotle) and José Angel Gómez Marchante (Scott-American Beef). Ladino held on to win in front of an enthused crowd in Guachochi over Mancebo and Magallanes. PhotographyFor a thumbnail gallery of these images, click here Images by Monika Prell/Cyclingnews.com
