Vicioso and Heras increase stranglehold on GC

Manolo Saiz's Liberty squad has secured a stranglehold over this year's edition of the Euskal Bizikleta with a dominant performance in the afternoon's testing time trial. Angel Vicioso picked up his second win in two days and as a result for the first time in the four days of the race, there is a leader who is clear of the remainder of the field on time.

Vicioso was 19 seconds better than teammate Roberto Heras, who rendered an impressive performance against the clock. Heras told Cyclingnews earlier this week that he expected to go better against the clock this year as a result of changes in his seat position and training. The early times were dominated by their teammate Alvaro Gonzalez de Galdeano until he was pipped by a second when Brioche la Boulangère's Sylvain Chavanel arrived in Abadiño.

The day's big loser was Haimar Zubeldia. It seemed Zubeldia took it easy over the first third of the course, conserving his energies for the climb of the dead road up to the village of Axpe. After 5 kilometres Zubeldia had conceded more than ten seconds to Heras, but when Vicioso came through the check at Aparte, Euskaltel's leader was twenty in the red.

The Euskaltel story of the day continued to be the attack of Laiseka yesterday. Laiseka's attack and the Liberty attempts to follow him also had the lanky Guipuzkoan in the red. Laiseka claimed that then when he was up the road he came to an agreement with Vicioso, who when his Director saw Piepoli coming back up to the Heras/Zubeldia group ordered Vicioso to stop working. The result was it seemed Laiseka's attack caused Zubeldia enough trouble that when Heras and co. surged further up the slopes he could not follow. There were not many happy faces dressed in orange as a result today. They were even more disillusioned after Zubeldia's ride today.

In the end today, Liberty had seven of their eight in the top 15 of the time trial. They will start tomorrow's final stage - that includes a short but steep Cat.3, a long dragging 9% Cat. 3, the steep and mythical Cat. 2 Elgeta, containing multitude of ramps of more than 12%, topped off with a dressing of three crossings, in different directions of the Cat. 1 peak of Eibar - Ixua/Arrate - the final repeatedly topping 13%. It will be up to Liberty to hold on and for either Sanchez or Zubeldia to at least try and unseat Koldo Gil to find themselves on the podium.
