Stage 2a - June 9: Tolosa - Abadiño, 92.4km

Efimkin takes stage, overall

By Monika Prell in Abadiño

The first of two stages on the same day went to Vladimir Efimkin (Caisse d’Epargne), who soloed in for the win and also took over the overall lead from Alberto Fernández De La Puebla.

"I knew that the only possibility to win was joining a breakaway group, because there are many strong riders here. After my fall and fracturing the collarbone in Tirreno – Adriatico, I am very happy about this victory and that the team still trusts in me," said a happy Efimkin.

The riders on the 92.4 kilometres road race from Tolosa to Abadiño were greeted with sun shine and the thermometer climbed to 27° degrees centigrade during the race. This was much appreciated as during the night some heavy showers made for the prediction of an unpleasant race.

The stage was perhaps the easiest one of the four, since the cyclists had to climb only two category two mountains, the Alto de Iturburu, where David López (Caisse d’Epargne) took the mountain points, and the Alto de Kanpanzar, where López' teammate Vladimir Efimkin crossed the top in first.

After only two kilometres, five riders attacked the field of 123 starters. Francisco Mancebo (Relax GAM), Steffen Weigold (Tinkoff Credit Systems), José Adrián Bonilla (Fuerteventura Canarias), Aivaras Baranauskas (Agritubel) and Jesús Rosendo (Andalucía Cajasur) tried to get a head start on this short stage, but the field was not going to let them get away that early.

Xabat Otxotorena, the leader of the Metas Volantes classification, was able to increase his overall points by winning the only intermediate sprint of the day.

After more fruitless efforts to get a break established it was Vladimir Efimkin (Caisse d’Epargne) and Adrian Palomares (Fuerteventura Canarias) who finally managed to escape the field and they built a maximum lead of just over three minutes.

Saunier Duval, who had the overall lead, and Relax - GAM did most of the work in the peloton, but the two escapees were riding strongly and the lead did not come down easily.

Even before the second mountain of the stage started, Adrián Palomares suffered some cramps and could no longer follow his break-away partner. The field swallowed him up before he reached the top of the climb, where David López then managed to get second place and could add precious mountain points to his account; he is now tied with Oscar Sevilla in second, only four points behind leader Jon Bru.

Several crashes, especially when coming down the treacherous descent of the Alto de Iturburu, put a damper in the chasing efforts by Saunier - Duval. Even race leader Fernández hit the tarmac.

In the mean time Vladimir Efimkin rode all by himself, oblivious to the problems behind him, crested the top with a good lead and would not relinquish it on his way to victory in Abadiño. The field came in almost a minute later. This meant taking over the lead in the general classification as well, albeit by the slim margin of two seconds.
