Stage 3 - 16 June: Les Borges Blanques - Andorra (coll de Pal), 200.7 Km
For Perdi is there any road to Perdition?
By Martin Hardie
A small group, a high mountain finish, an acceleration, regrouping, acceleration and who jumps out a few hundred metres from the end to take number five for the season? Perdiguero of course. For the Saunier Duval all-terrainer, no road seems to lead to perdition. A bunch sprint, a rolling hilly course and now a high mountain finish, and each time he is able to stamp his authority on a group.
Once again today, shadowed by Karpets and a group of others who you might expect to be able to rid themselves of Perdi on a Pyrenean finish, he was too strong. Kelme's Eladio Jimenez, and David Latasa, Euskaltel's Roberto Laiseka and race leader, Vladimir Karpets (Illes Balears-Banesto) were all just mere bystanders when it came to the last few hundred metres. No one was ever going to stop Perdi from taking two out of two for the second Vuelta in a row.
How it unfolded
The stage was effectively divided into two parts, with one of the many Vascos amongst the Paternina-Costa Almeria ranks, Lander Euba, setting off solo at the 26 kilometre mark. Euba pulled out a huge advantage on a stage that was basically one big uphill grind for 200 kilometres, only the two Cat. 1's near the end broke the monotony. At the 117 km point he had a gap of more than 21 minutes but as the race passed from Catalonia to tiny Andorra, he started to concede time. At the crossing of the Coll de Montaup, he was joined by Felix Cardenas (Cafes Baque) and Pablo Lastras (Illes Baleares-Banesto) on the descent and, by the bottom with not much more than 10 kilometres to go Baque's Colombian leader and Lastras had initiated the day's second break.
For a moment it seemed that Cardenas might have to go it alone on the last climb to Pal as Lastras dropped off his wheel suffering from cramp. But Lastras shortly returned, although he decided to leave all the work to Cardenas. Cardenas was 1'36 down on G.C. while Lastras was only six seconds down, and just needed to sit on the Colombian's wheel in order to move the leader's jersey from one Baleares riders to another. Their gap was never much more than a minute and it started to fall gradually as Euskaltel's Aitor Silloniz drove the peloton towards the foot of the Pal. René Andrle (Liberty Seguros) tried a last ditch attempt to get clear before the climb got under way, but he and those that sought to follow him where all hauled back in before they could cause any mischief.
With 5 km left and Cardenas doing all the work, the gap had come down to 35 seconds and it was at this point that the action started behind. The rejuvenated Roberto Laiseka made the first move from the bunch, attacking with Luis Perez (Cofidis) and Perdi quickly seeking his wheel. For a moment, Perez and Laiseka had a nice little hole opening up between them and their pursuers, but soon they formed a baker's dozen, with Piepoli, Lopez de Munain and several others present. Laiseka was well marked so his teammate Lopez de Munain took the initiative. He was quickly free of the group and was chased down by a Kelme-launched rocket by the name of David Latasa. The two were soon trailed by a large open space as the group all seemed to be marking each other to death.
As the road changed from a steady smooth uphill drag to contain a few more curves and a bit more gradient, Lopez de Munain and Latasa had minimized the difference to Cardenas and Lastras to 22 seconds, while 10 seconds behind them was the bunch. With three kilometres to go they were only 15 seconds behind and the peloton a further 11 behind them, but by this time there was some serious chasing starting to take place. The race leader Vladimir Karpets, now helmetless, dwarfing those with him and sporting a pair of the world's longest side burns as well as his flowing blonde pop star locks, put in a big turn of speed and the change of rhythm really decimated the group - with him, after some serious digging in, were only Laiseka, Perdi and Eladio Jimenez.
Cardenas continued ahead, Latasa seemed to be suffering, a fact probably relayed to Karpets and partly responsible for his surge. At this point, as the road straightened, all three groups were in site of each other - Cardenas and the suffering Lastras; Latasa and Lopez de Munain and the chasers; Karpets, Laiseka, Perdi and Eladio Jimenez. Laiseka tried another attack but Jimenez stole his march and as they passed under the two kilometre to go banner, Cardenas had eight seconds on Jimenez with three more to the group.
Cardenas was reached by Jimenez, the Colombian fixed himself to the wheel of the Kelme climber as Laiseka dragged the others across over the next kilometre. With one kilometre to go they were still a few seconds off the wheel of Jimenez and Cardenas. As they got there, Perdi went, Karpets, a giant behind Perdi followed, Jimenez tried to regain his advantage, Laiseka hung on to his wheel and then Perdi just went all out. Mouth open, out of the saddle, smelling another one...the others were left just hanging there, bystanders to another Perdi victory.
Perdi said that this year with a new team and team director Matxin he just simply has more confidence...confidence we won't see in the Tour, or maybe not even in the Pro Tour, but odds on, with this form, he could be a good bet for next week's, red and yellow Spanish Champion's jersey.
