Stage 11 - Wednesday, September 17: Utiel - Cuenca, 162km
Zabel wins by centimetres
Beltrán loses over a minute
By Hernán Alvarez Macías

Erik Zabel (Telekom) has won the 11th stage of the Vuelta España between Utiel and Cuenca in a time of 3 hours, 14 minutes and 58 seconds beating Tom Boonen (Quick Step) by mere centimetres. Angel Edo (Milaneza-MSS) was third in the same time after a very fast stage. Isidro Nozal has the golden jersey's leader for the eighth consecutive day, while third placed Manuel Beltrán (USPS-Berry Floor) lost 1'02 after being caught in the wrong half of the peloton when it split in the final kilometres.
"I knew the finish from two years ago," said Erik Zabel after his second stage win. "The experience helped me. But at the end it was still frightening."
After a day where breakaways were the norm, the pure sprinters had their chances at the finish. Santos González (Domina Vacanze) and David Etxebarria (Euskaltel-Euskadi) managed a small gap after attacking on the Alto del Castillo with 12 km to go, but they hesitated in the final metres and they were caught.
"They caught us very close to the finish," González told Spanish radio. "The chasers pulled really hard. This was a very dangerous stage. I looked back too many times: it would have been better to come second than to lose a lot of positions in the bunch sprint". About Beltrán's time loss, he said "Well, not everybody is able to be in front, someone is going to get caught".

His companion David Etxebarria said, "We had some chances, but...the peloton was riding a very strong tempo and we couldn't finish well...what a day and what a Vuelta!".
Alejandro Valverde (Kelme) finished seventh in the bunch sprint, also maintaining his position in the top 10 in the general classification "I feel better every day, let's see if I can climb a few positions in the overall," he said. "I'm pleased with my performance so far, what comes next is good. Me in the podium? Well, I think it's rather difficult, but I'll give a try."
Doping controls
Early this morning, the UCI medical inspectors carried out hematocrit tests on 41 riders from five teams: US Postal Service-Berry Floor, Kelme Costa Blanca, Relax Fuenlabrada, Telekom and Quick.Step. None of the riders were declared unfit to start. So far, not a single competitor has been expelled for doping.
Two more riders are no longer with the race however: Igor Astarloa (Saeco) didn't take the start of the stage because of bronchitis and José Gómez Gozalo (Labarca 2-Café Baqué) abandoned during the stage.
How it unfolded
 |
The main characteristic of the stage was the high speed of the peloton. In the first hour the average speed was 49.4 km/h. Many riders tried to attack, but the peloton was riding so fast that no-one could break the grip of the field. The route was very flat and the crosswinds started causing problems to most of the men.
After numerous attempts, 10 riders including George Hincapie (US Postal), Aitor Osa (iBanesto.com) and Fabrizio Guidi (Team Bianchi) finally got clear. Before the feed zone (km 90) they were able create a little gap, and passed through the zone with 33 seconds lead over the peloton. The Kelme-Costa Blanca team rode at a high tempo to catch the break, and they closed it down a few kilometres later.
After capturing the breakaway the peloton split into two due to the strong winds. Michael Sandstød (CSC) tried to escape alone with 50 km to go. Three kilometres later, another 10 riders including Oscar Sevilla (Kelme) joined the Dane at the front. The difference was 50 seconds to the peloton with 21 km to Cuenca. The front leaders consolidated the gap (45 seconds at the Alto del Castillo with 12 km to go) and one of the breakaways, Santos González, attacked the group and got a gap with David Etxebarria (Euskaltel-Euskadi). Both pushed very hard, but their possibilities disappeared in the final kilometre with the peloton catching them for another bunch sprint.
Stage 12 - September 18: Cuenca-Albacete, 168.8 km
The twelfth stage is another flat stage. There is only one small climb in it: Cat. 3 Port of Tórdiga (1,200 m). There are three intermediate sprints in Motilla del Palancar, Quintanar del Rey and Barrax. The route is almost completely flat and that will give the pure sprinters the chance to win another stage. The best riders in the GC shouldn't have too much trouble if they keep out of the wind, but it could be another tough fight like it was today. Isidro Nozal should have no problems in keeping the golden jersey.
