Stage 2 - May 13: Llanes - Gijón, 163,0 km
Opportunistic win for Herrero
By Martin Hardie
Costa Almeria's David Herrero succeeded in an opportunistic move and held off a chasing peloton along the beach front in Gijon today to take the second stage of the Vuelta Asturias. Herrero made his move across the false flat of the crest that fell within 5 kilometres from the finish when he put in a big surge to leave the peloton. He held off the chase downhill into the principality's beach side city and crossed the line two seconds ahead of the perennial Miguel Martin Perdiguero (Saunier Duval).
Herrero's move had with it a number of precursors, as riders all tried to steal a march on this rolling stage before Saturday's grand encounter on the hors categorie Alto de Acebo. The first to have a significant go was the month of May's Mr. Unstoppable, Iban Mayo (Euskaltel), who decided to test his climbing counterparts with a nifty change of pace 30 kilometres from the finish on the Cat. 2 Alto de San Martin de Huerces.
For the next 15 kilometres across the flat for the first of the day's visits to Gijon, Mayo time trialled alone and at one time he was the virtual leader of the Vuelta. During his effort, he was chased by Roberto Heras (Liberty Seguros) and Fabian Jeker (Phonak), but for most of it he maintained a tidy advantage over the pair. At a similar distance behind followed a peloton that was reduced to 13 riders at times, but later grew to more than 30 with additions from behind.
Mayo looked comfortable as he headed through the streets of Gijon, and it was outside the Plaza del Torros some 14 kms from the end that he was joined by the chasing pair. Heras and Jeker certainly could not afford to lose anything to Mayo this early in the race if they are to put up any sort of fight for the G.C. on Saturday. In the broader scope it will be of interest to us all to see who suffers and who recovers from this little effort which strongly animated the penultimate part of today's stage. At this point the peloton was still over 30 seconds behind the Mayo/Heras/Jeker group, but with the danger neutralised, Heras and Jeker merely rolled through and waited for the capture.
As they were caught, the moves from the bunch started all over again. On the start of the 2 km "cuesta" before the descent into town, a trio representing Credit Agricole, Maia and Liberty created for themselves a nice gap - 9 or so riders then shot across and bridged to them. Mancebo (Illes Baleares), Perdiguero, Zubeldia, Nozal and Samuel Sanchez were all present this time.
Zubeldia went ahead, shadowed by Nozal, and then they too were chased down by Perdi and Mancebo. As Nozal and Mancebo found it their turn to try and break the group apart, Euskaltel was moving around the front of the peloton behind. It was at this point, in the midst of a series of attacks and counter attacks across the top of the "cuesta" that Herrero made his move, jumping off one of his ex-teammates wheels and within no time at all catching the leading four. Without waiting for any hellos he went again and soon commenced the descent.
Behind, Eladio Jimenez (Comunidad Valenciana) and Roberto Heras were doing their best not to let Zubeldia go too far, and with 2 kms to go the peloton was together and thinking about organising its hunt for Herrero who by this time had a 9 second advantage. The gap never got to be more than another second, and finally the chase got its act together in the final kilometre. But it was too late to draw the break back, and in the end the continual marking and shadowing of those who think they have chance for the overall allowed Herrero his win.
Tomorrow's stage doesn't allow for as much excitement towards the end, with the main obstacles falling within the first half of the stage, the biggest being the Cat. 1 Alto de San Lorenzo coming at the halfway point of the day. But then with Mayo continuing his TdF training outings, testing his legs in every which way possible, and the others having to follow, it's a little hard to guess what might happen before the big one on Saturday. On the other hand, it's possible someone will decide that they can't wait for the terms to be dictated again by the Orange Armada who (as predicted by their boss Miguel Madariaga last January) now ride as a coherent team unit rather than a bunch of adventurers seeking the odd stage win. To be in Spain in Mayo - que suerte!!
