83rd Volta a Catalunya - 2.HCSpain, June 16-22, 2003Main page Results Previous stage Stage 7 - June 22: Sant Joan Despi / Barcelona (La Pedrera), 128 KmFinal stage to Vicioso in sprintPecharroman takes second big winAs expected, the last stage of the Volta a Catalunya finished in a modestly sized bunch sprint, with half the field making it over the climbs and into the front group. In the absence of Erik Zabel and Oscar Freire, ONCE's Angel Vicioso took the victory in front of US Postal's George Hincapie, with Matthias Kessler (Telekom) rounding out the top three. The GC riders all finished in the same time, meaning that Jose Antonio Pecharroman (Paternina) won his second major stage this month, beating defending champion Roberto Heras (USPS) by 43 seconds on GC. "I'm on a cloud, as people say, but also with my feet on the ground, because I've had to come through many difficult moments to achieve success like this, usually reserved for the big names of the peloton," Pecharroman commented after sealing his victory. Pecharroman dedicated the win to his family, honouring his father who passed away several months prior. The victor also recognised the efforts of his teammates, whom he said "have been the reason for his recent success." The final stage was quite short, only 128 kilometres between Sant Joan Despi and Barcelona (La Pedrera). It wasn't a flat sprinter's stage however, containing two Cat. 2 and two Cat. 3 climbs, thus riders like Erik Zabel, Oscar Freire and Rene Haselbacher weren't able to make it to the finish in front. An early attack by 17 riders, including Hruska (ONCE), Bartoli (Fassa Bortolo), Flecha (iBanesto), De Groot (Rabobank), and Hauptman (Vini Caldirola) gained 1'30 after 20 kilometres, but both Paternina and ONCE were vigilant and reduced the gap over the middle section of the stage. IT all came back together with 30 km to go, and despite several more attacks on the Cat. 3 Alt Del Forat Del Vent, no-one was really able to get clear. ONCE kept the tempo high on the descent into Barcelona, and their confidence was rewarded with a victory to Angel Vicioso. Now many of the local riders will have a few days rest before the Spanish championships begin mid-week, and the Tour in two weeks' time. PhotographyImages by AFP Photo
