Furlan proves fastest in Vuelta's final road stage

The peloton rolled across the roads of Spain for the last mass start race today, a generally flat stage of 141km finishing in the Warner Brothers Park in San Martin de la Vega. With only two small Cat. 3 climbs, the stage profile presented one more opportunity for the sprinters who managed to conquer the high mountains. Many expected a showdown between Erik Zabel and Alessandro Petacchi, but at the line the two were both burned by Alessio's Angelo Furlan, who scored his second stage win of this year's race.

Furlan described the sprint as follows: "Coming into the sprint up a slight rise, I knew I had an advantage because I'm a bit heavier. Also in this sprint I had more freedom to maneuver than in Salamanca."

"The fact that I've won two stages does not mean anything for the selection of the Italian team for the World's. I am in form, but I am not going to give advice to the selector. I'll respect his decision."

How it unfolded

The requisite early break of the day was initiated by Oscar Laguna (Relax-Fuenlabrada), who set off after only 3km, on the first climb of the day. Laguna has been in his share of breaks throughout the course of this year's Vuelta, and decided to go it alone today to give his sponsors some valuable exposure in their home region.

It was no surprise that Laguna quickly increased his lead, eventually gaining over nine minutes on the smooth-rolling peloton. The leaders of the points and mountains classifications, Erik Zabel and Aitor Osa, were the only riders with any real ambitions behind the break. Race leader Roberto Heras took no points on the climb of the Paramera, allowing Aitor Osa to clinch the climber's jersey on the road. Meanwhile, at an intermediate sprint in El Tiemblo, Zabel consolidated his points lead over Alessandro Petacchi.

As Laguna crossed the final mountain of the Vuelta, the Alto Novas del Ray, the peloton began its steady pursuit, led by the sprinters' teams. With just under 75km to race, Phonak, Lampre, Fassa Bortolo, and Alessio took the initiative to reel in Laguna, working to set up a bunch sprint for riders such as Teutenberg, Svorada, Petacchi, or Furlan.

Over the wide highways so typical of the Vuelta, the peloton steadily ate into Laguna's advantage, but the Relax rider succeeded in holding the bunch at bay and riding alone through the town of Fuenlabrada. By the 15km to go mark, Laguna's escape was over, but his job was done.

Into the final kilometers, Zabel's Telekom teammates took control of the peloton and kept the speed high before the inevitable bunch sprint. Sven Teutenberg's Phonak team was also present, as was Fassa Bortolo, who provided the final leadout before the sprint began. Zabel sat comfortably on Petacchi's wheel, but it was Alessio's Furlan who had the biggest kick in the slightly uphill sprint, taking his second win of the race. Zabel may have finished third, denied a stage win throughout the Vuelta, but he nonetheless secured the points jersey ahead of Petacchi.

Tomorrow's time trial in Madrid will decide the Vuelta's overall winner for the second year in succession, with an exciting battle set to play out between current leader Roberto Heras and Kelme's Aitor Gonzalez, who sits 1'08" behind. Joseba Beloki remains in 4th place overall, 24" behind Oscar Sevilla, and still holds a chance of making the podium. However, Sevilla's time trialing has improved greatly since his own final stage defeat by Angel Casero last year. Come what may, Spain is poised to see an all Spanish podium at the end of its national tour.
