Perez strikes with a vengeance
Colombia Selle-Italia dominate leaderboard; South Africans close behind
By Anthony Tan in Tanah Rata
|
On the first of two serious mountain stages in this year's Tour de Langkawi, the squadra of six from Colombia Selle-Italia have struck with a vengeance: dual team leaders Marlon Perez and Freddy Gonzalez were first to emerge from the clouds in Tanah Rata this afternoon, with Perez now leading the race overall, 55 seconds ahead of team-mate Gonzalez and 1'22 ahead of Barloworld's Ryan Cox.
Despite losing their outright leader for the race from a knee injury, Vuelta al Tachira winner Jose Rujano, the team's early loss proved a blessing in disguise today. "Yeah, it was possibly a mistake they let me go so far," said a modest Perez to Cyclingnews after the stage.
"I came to this race not as the team leader. The team leader was Jose Rujano, who unfortunately had to stop yesterday because he had a bad knee, so Freddy Gonzalez and I became equal team leaders. Whatever happened when I was out in front, I knew that my team-mate Freddy Gonzalez was just behind if I became weak, and that gave me the confidence to keep going. I dedicate my victory today to Jose because of his bad luck."
Asked if the dominating display on today's stage spells a revival for Colombian cycling with three Colombia Selle-Italia riders in the top five overall, the petite Gonzalez echoed his team-mate's modesty, saying he preferred to wait for events to unfold over the next few days before passing judgement. "We have had the fortune of racing the Vuelta al Tachira, so we have come here with very good condition. As to what this means for the future of Colombian cycling, we'll have to wait and see what the rest of the race brings," said Gonzalez.
How it unfolded
|
With almost 60 kilometres of climbing today, and all in the second half of the stage, there were no shortage of riders eager to gain an early advantage before the start of the first mountain climb in Tapah.
The first attack of the day was initiated by Garcia Oscar Laguna (Relax Bodysol) after just 13 kilometres, and although short-lived, Laguna's aggression sparked off a series of seven counter-attacks in the next 30 kilometres. However, it was not until the 39 kilometre mark before an eight-man breakaway managed to drift away from peloton. In the split were: Sean Sullivan (Team Barloworld), Matnur Matnur (Wismilak), Devis Miorin (De Nardi), Hector Guerra Garcia (Relax Bodysol), Jeremy Maartens (South Africa), Marlon Perez (Colombia Selle-Italia), Jurgen Van De Walle (Chocolade Jacques-Wincor) and Gordon Fraser (Health Net).
|
With the first hour of racing completed at a leisurely 43 kilometres per hour, the octet's advantage grew to 2'10 by the 50 kilometre mark and a maximum lead of 6'50 at km 63. Not long afterwards at km 79, a crash involving six riders saw Oceania champion Christopher Bradford (Wismilak) and Mohammad Rajabloo (Iran) abandon the race.
Following the second sprint in Tapah (km 89.4), the lead group's advantage was clocked at 4'50, Matnur Matnur (Wismilak) becoming the first rider unable to cope with the tempo riding set by Garcia and Perez et. al as the road veered upwards. Just before the halfway mark on the climb, Hector Guerra Garcia (Relax Bodysol) launched a solo attack, and by km 119, the Spaniard enjoyed a lead of 1'10 to the remaining group of six riders.
|
Garcia's initiative soon saw a chasing group of three - Marlon Perez (Colombia Selle-Italia), Belgian Jurgen Van De Walle (Chocolade Jacques-Wincor) and Australian Sean Sullivan (Team Barloworld) - create a decisive move at km 127, and with less than 25 kilometres to go, Perez went into overdrive, wiping Garcia's 1'00 advantage in the space of three kilometres. The Spaniard tenaciously held onto Perez's wheel and even secured maximum points at the King of the Mountains prime in Ringlet (km 136.4), but straight after the KOM, the mountain was all Perez's.
With three kilometres remaining, the Colombian's advantage hovered at a delicate 60 seconds and although unbeknown to him at the time, a group of six riders had set off in hot pursuit from the peloton. However, with two team-mates Ruber Marin and Freddy Gonzalez perfectly positioned in the fold, Perez's win was all but secured.
As Perez crossed the line in style and on his own, punching the air with delight, 47 seconds passed before he and his team manager Gianna Savio witnessed another welcome sight: that of team-mate Freddy Gonzalez also finishing solo, completing a perfect day out for Colombia Selle-Italia. Notable rides somewhat surprisingly came from three South Africans - Ryan Cox, David George (Barloworld) and Nicolas White (South Africa), who finished third, fifth and seventh respectively.
