Stage 13 - Friday, September 19: Albacete - Albacete, 53.3km ITT
Isidro Nozal confirms himself at the top
Millar settles for second again
By Hernán Alvarez Macías in Albacete
 |
With another sensational display, Isidro Nozal (ONCE-Eroski) won the second individual time trial stage of the Vuelta in Albacete in a time of 1 hour, 2 minutes and 3 seconds, averaging 51.54 km/h over the flat parcours. Nozal reinforced his position as leader of the race, and his chances of winning the Vuelta have increased a great deal, as he has only two difficult mountain stages to overcome in order to end up first in Madrid. David Millar (Cofidis) was second, 13 seconds slower, and Serguei Ivanov (Fassa Bortolo) was third 40 seconds behind. "El Guri" is now 3'03 ahead of his teammate Igor González de Galdeano (ONCE) and 5'13 ahead of Roberto Heras (US Postal) on the general classification.
Just as it happened in Zaragoza, David Millar's time was the best until the race leader, and last rider to start, rode. Nozal is showing he is in excellent shape and was very emotional after the win here, crying in his team director Manolo Saiz's arms.
"I didn't believe the first time. This time trial was more difficult than the one in Zaragoza, but I enjoyed riding it very much," said Nozal post-stage. Now we are leaders with more advantage. Let's see if we can hold on here until we get to Madrid."
 |
"I'm so very motivated to ride," continued Nozal. "I knew I had to overcome this stage. We are going to have to play it defensively in the next few days [in the mountains]. I hope we don't lose much time. The objectives now are to lose just seconds, not minutes and to keep controlling the race."
In the post-race press conference, Nozal also broke down and wanted to dedicate his triumph to a friend that had an accident and is in a wheelchair: "This victory is for him".
Manolo Sáiz told the media, "Now my bet is Isidro, I would have been crazy if it wasn't. He is great leader and a great human being. I think a great, confident rider has been born. We must be prudent and see if we can get more advantage over the others. We have a very good team and luckily Nozal is doing an excellent Vuelta."
How it unfolded
 |
167 riders signed in for the longest individual time since Unipublic began organizing the race 24 years ago. Angel Casero (Team Bianchi) was the only one who didn't take the start from the ones that finished yesterday. His continuing knee problems forced him to abandon the race that he won't remember as one of his best.
As was the case in the first battle against the clock of the Vuelta in Zaragoza, David Millar's time was the reference for most of the day with 1:02:16. The temperature was around 25°C and the wind wasn't blowing too hard, so the conditions were very good for a time trial. In the first part of the route the wind was favourable and across the riders, and from the middle to the end it was against and from the other side.
Claus Møller (Milaneza-MSS) put Millar's leadership in jeopardy. He did the best time at the first two intermediate time checks, but he couldn't maintain the tempo and ended up 32 seconds behind the Scot and 45 seconds behind Nozal in fifth position.
 |
Everybody was waiting for the leader to see if he could beat Millar. Isidro Nozal was second at the first check point, 5 seconds slower than Møller's time that was the best at that point. At the second check point he equalled the best time that was also Møller's (30'55). At the third check point he was in front, beating Millar's time by 7 seconds. The ONCE rider finished extremely well and beat Millar for the second time in the Vuelta.
Stage 14 - September 20: Albacete-Valdepeñas, 167.4 km
The fourteenth stage is a transition one before the hard Sunday stage of Sierra de la Pandera. The route is almost completely flat and it has the three intermediate sprints in Ruidera, Carrizosa and Pozo de Serna. The whole peloton must be very aware of the crosswinds and the splits that may occur like they did on Thursday. It will be a chance for some rider a long way down in the overall to win by getting in a breakaway , or for the two "giants" of the sprint Alessandro Petacchi and Erik Zabel to increase their victory count. Nozal's leading position should not be in danger.
