Roberto Heras (US Postal Service-Berry Floor) made the attack that the Vuelta España was waiting for. The show is back on as Heras reduced the advantage Isidro Nozal has over him to 1 minute and 55 seconds in Stage 19 between La Vega de Alcobendas and Villalba. Heras attacked on the climb of Alto de Navacerrada and got a gap of 1'14 over Nozal at the end of the stage. The winner of the stage was Filippo Simeoni (Domina Vacanze), who was part of an earlier breakaway and beat Claus Møller (Milaneza) in a two man sprint, 16 seconds ahead of Heras' group.

Roberto Heras played an excellent tactic, noticing Nozal was fading on the last climb of the day, and attacked him. The USPS rider said afterwards, "It was a perfect stage. I think we have played a perfect strategy. The time that I achieved is not bad, but tomorrow [mountain time trial stage] we have to race only eleven kilometres. We have to recover, and we'll see how he recovers".

The leader is still Nozal, who said, "I resisted very well in the Alto de los Leones, but in Navacerrada it was different because the climbers put a much stronger tempo from the bottom of the climb. The men who had to attack did it. I was isolated in the middle of the climb, but I was calm because I knew I had Angel [Vicioso] and Marcos [Serrano] with me to help me".

Tomorrow's stage will be the decisive one of the race. The leader commented "I think I have enough of a margin to keep the leader's jersey. Now I'm the one who has the pressure and I'll see how I can handle it."

Filippo Simeoni was cheerful with his victory after getting in the right breakaway of the day. "I think the Vuelta gives me luck. Today we made a tense and long breakaway", said Simeoni. "This is the second time that I've won here in Spain as I did in Cuenca in 2001 too. I have been helping my team for 18 days and this was the day to get in a break".

About his team and the problems with its inclusion in the Vuelta he said, "We arrived at the Vuelta with a lot of controversy, but we demonstrated we are a very competitive squad. We have two men like Santos González and Michele Scarponi very well placed in the overall classification. I think Scarponi is a good rider that can fight for the overall victories in the future."

How it unfolded

The early break

The 161 riders that finished yesterday in Las Rozas signed on for today's stage. At kilometre 6 the attacks in the peloton began and at kilometre 13 a group of 19 riders broke clear. The break was going well, so well that the front riders led by more than four minutes at the first intermediate sprint in Hoyo de Manzanares. Although it was a break with too many riders, they seemed to cooperated well, extending the gap to 7'04 at the Alto de San Lorenzo de El Escorial. The peloton seemed not to care much about the breakaway even though the gap was big. The stage was long and many kilometres were had to be ridden.

The first attacks in the peloton came at the Cat. 1 Alto de los Leones. Kelme and iBanesto.com wanted to change the tempo and began to ride hard at the bottom of the climb. Nozal held up very well as Oscar Sevilla (Kelme-Costa Blanca) and Leonardo Piepoli (iBanesto.com) led the front group of the peloton, Meanwhile Igor González de Galdeano (ONCE-Eroski) had some problems climbing and lost some seconds, but was able to get back on after the descent.

There were many movements in the race. There were now 11 riders leading the stage: Constantino Zaballa (Kelme), Juan José de los Angeles, Filippo Simeoni (Domina Vacanze), Cristian Moreni (Alessio), Angel Vicioso (ONCE-Eroski), Francisco Lara (Team Bianchi), Claus Møller (Milaneza), Oscar Pereiro (Phonak), Floyd Landis (US Postal), Karsten Kroon and Beat Zberg (Rabobank) with 50 km to go.

At the last intermediate sprint in La Pradera, the leaders were 4'35 ahead of the peloton as "Tino" Zaballa won the sprint and attacked the front riders. He was caught at the bottom of the Navacerrada on which the 11 leaders slowly disintegrated into smaller groups. Near the foot of the climb, Roberto Heras decided to make his first attack, followed by Cádernas and Piepoli. He saw Isidro Nozal responded well, but a few metres later Nozal was beginning to fade and so Heras tried for the second time. Nozal was looking tired and had problems on the climb, and at the summit of the Alto de Navacerrada Heras had a gap of 1'29 over the ONCE man.

Nozal reduced the damage by 14 seconds on the descent with the help of his teammates, as Heras came in with a group containing several other GC riders, driven mainly by US Postal and Kelme. In front of the race, Simeoni and Møller managed to hold off Heras's group on the descent to come into the finish with a comfortable enough lead to contest the win. Simeoni attacked into the corner and gapped Møller, who was forced to settle for second behind the experience Domina Vacanze man.

Manolo Sáiz expelled from the race

ONCE-Eroski's team director Manolo Sáiz was expelled from the Vuelta after having a serious argument with the motorcycle rider of a TV cameraman in the middle of the Navacerrada climb. Sáiz became angry when he saw that the race leader Nozal was having a very bad time on the climb. The ONCE director stopped the car and started insulting and screaming at the motorcycle rider. Apparently, the rider was obstructing Sáiz's way when the director wanted to tell some of his men to help Isidro Nozal.

However the president of the race jury, Belgian Jean Michel Voets, ruled that Sáiz had not respected the commissaire's instructions during the stage. "We decided to expel Mr. Sáiz from the race until the competition is over," said Mr Voets in a short press conference. "Sáiz has badly offended the image of cycling and also the image of the Vuelta España."

Stage 20 - September 27: San Lorenzo de El Escorial-Alto de Abantos, 11.2 km

The 20th stage is an 11.2 km mountain time trial between the town of San Lorenzo de El Escorial and the Alto de Abantos. The Alto de Abantos is a category 1 climb and it will be difficult for the time trial specialists. We will see if Roberto Heras adapts himself better than Isidro Nozal in this mixture of climbing and riding against the clock. It's the last chance for the US Postal rider to take the golden leader's jersey from Nozal. The gap is now smaller and it will be an exciting stage to watch.
