With today's win by Roberto Heras (USPS) in the 82nd edition of the hors categorie Volta a Catalunya, the two most important stage races leading up to the Tour De France have been won by riders from the United States Postal Service Team. Heras rode solidly throughout la Volta and was well supported by a strong USPS squad that withstood attacks by Team Coast and ONCE throughout the race.

Heras has thus earned his biggest win since the 2000 Vuelta d'Espana, which should give the diminutive 28 year old from Bejar a solid morale boost going into the Tour in two weeks time. Team Coast had two riders in the top three and with their powerful performance in Catalunya, showed why they, and not a second-rate French team like Jean Delatour, deserved to be selected for the upcoming Tour De France.

As a heat wave continued to bake southern Europe, the hot, sun-soaked final stage of the Volta was a short and not too sweet ride over the brown hills behind the littoral of Barcelona, capital of the Catalunya region. After 11 km, a group of 4 got away before the first climb of the day. Climbers Lara (Coast), Parra (ONCE), powerhouse iBanesto rider Flecha and passenger Valverde (Kelme) were on the attack on the short stage.

With ONCE and Coast away, the intent was clear: toast the Posties by making them chase all day so ONCE and Coast could try to attack Heras on the last climb. With Heras 31 seconds ahead of Coast rider Garmendia and 44 seconds on his teammate Luis Perez, cagy Coast DS Juan Fernandez had nothing to lose by adopting a devil take the hindmost strategy on the final stage of the Volta.

But Fernandez and ONCE DS Manolo Saiz didn't reckon with one thing; the strength of the USPS team. Up and down, all day long, Postal powered away up front and kept the break close in a display of team power and strength that few squads can match. Plus, USPS had the home field advantage in the Volta a Catalunya; although Heras is from near Madrid, many of the USPS riders make Girona, 80km north of Barcelona their European base and are used to the roads and the heat of Catalunya.

At the base of the final climb up to Tibidabo, the mountain that overlooks Barca, the quartet had just under a minute on the peloton, led by USPS's Christian Vandevelde. The chase was reeling in the break and halfway up the back side of Tibidabo, Coast's Lara made his move and attacked the break. The 25 year old blew the break apart, with only Flecha able to keep pace 15" back, but USPS had upped the pace and was pulling back Lara quickly. Zarrabeitia and Perez both attacked Heras during the chase up Tibidabo, but the race leader easily covered both moves.

Over the summit of Tibidabo with 10km to race, just past Parco Guell amusement park, a group of 17 caught Lara and it was anybody's stage, although Heras was clearly the boss.

Heras had teammate George Hincapie leading the charge down the mountain into Barcelona, with Garmendia, Perez, Escartin, Plaza and Lara from Team Coast, Mancebo, Pascual Rodriguez and Leonardo Piepoli from iBanesto.com, Fofonov and Atienza from Cofidis as well as Karpets (Itera), Rumsas (Lampre-Daikin), Noval (Relax-Fuenlabrada), Garrido (Jazztel-Costa De Almeria) and Landaluze (Euskaltel-Euskadi) to keep contained. Despite a move by Pascual Rodriguez that Hincapie smothered, Fofonov took the sprint and a delighted Heras took the overall GC.
