Evans takes early win

By Gregor Brown

2007 ProTour Champion, Cadel Evans, took an early season win with the second stage of the 54th Vuelta a Andalucía, 176 kilometres from Torrox Costa to a mountain top finish in La Zubia. The 31 year-old Australian used the talents that delivered him to second in the Tour de France to overcome Spaniard Mikel Astarloza (Euskaltel-Euskadi) and Juan Manuel Gárate (Quick Step).

Evans was part of an escape group of 18 that went clear only 30 kilometres into the stage. He benefited from the companionship of team-mates Dario Cioni, Johan Van Summeren and Mario Aerts over the stage held under dodgy weather. Clément L'Hottelerie (Skil-Shimano), runner-up of stage one, managed to grab the leader's jersey when overnight leader José Antonio Lopez Gil (Andalucía - Cajasur) lost more than five minutes to the Frenchman in the Dutch-Japanese team Skil-Shimano.
