Stage 5 - 18 June: Llívia - Blanes, 180.6 Km

Hondo wins after Galvez moved to the bottom of the list

By Martin Hardie

The fifth stage of the Volta a Catalunya finished in a bunch sprint and the first rider to the line was Illes Baleares' Isaac Galvez, who was also first across the line on Day 1 in the team time trial. However, Galvez was not awarded the win as the jury saw that he had touched the rear of another rider in the finishing straight in order to clear some space to sprint. Instead it was the second placed rider on the day, Danilo Hondo (Gerolsteiner), who was given the victory bouquet.

Race leader Miguel Angel Martin Perdiguero was warned off sprinting today by his director Joxean Matxin, so the Saunier Duval rider stayed out of the mix to keep the green and white leader's jersey safe.

How it unfolded

Over the closing stages of the stage, USPS, Gerolsteiner and Liberty Seguros (with victories for Heeswijk, Hondo and Davis in mind) all made the pace at the head of the peloton in order to draw back into their fold the day's two escapees, Carlos Torrent (Paternina) and Xavier Florencio (Relax). At one point the pair had managed a 8 minute advantage but with 20 km to go it was falling pretty fast.

As Torrent and Florencio agonised over a long leg sapping repecho, the peloton came into sight but seemed to hang in the distance as the two continually exchanged looks, pedaled in slow motion and looked behind waiting for the inevitable train to arrive. It soon did, sweeping past their right and up the road.

Immediately the opportunists let fly, a rapid spate of attacks that went nowhere were launched by riders from Cofidis, Cafe Baque and Saunier Duval. The front splintered, the peloton was strung out single file but soon enough the panic was over. soon enough indeed for the tricky entry into the finish at Blanes with its 6 roundabouts over the last 1300 metres. Prior to the peloton hitting the roundabouts, Acqua e Sapone, Fassa Bortolo and Baleares-Banesto all started to mix it at the front with the teams that regarded themselves as being up there for the sprinters.

There were two roundabouts, then the 1 kilometre to go banner, another roundabout, a fourth and a fifth, one more and onto the finishing straight of a few hundred metres. Into the sixth roundabout, Fassa controlled the front and were close to the left hand edge of the road as the barriers commenced on the entry into the straight. Isaac Galvez was more or less boxed in to the left of the two Fassa riders that were at the front, so he moved up, put his hand on the rear of the leader, moved him to the right and made a space wide enough to fit through. And he accelerated. Galvez' only other option would have been to slow right down and go back around the long way.

As Galvez cleared out of the space he had made, Gerolsteiner's René Haselbacher made chase, coming through the same opening and got himself to a position where he hung onto the inside right of the wheel of Galvez, challenging him all the way to the line. Late to the scene was Hondo, who set off after his lead out partner. Hondo had to make ground to catch the pair and almost succeeded in pipping Galvez at the post - it wasn't clear without a second look.

But after all the formalities, the champagne and such, it was Hondo who was awarded the win. The Commissaire Martin Bruin decided that the gentle touching of Galvez was an irregular manoeuvre. The bum touched Fassa rider did indeed appear shocked and probably lost some speed as a result. But in the scheme of things it didn't appear that grave. And to be fair (and to tell the whole story), as Galvez, Hondo and Haselbacher reached the line, there was a crash back in the bunch - but not one that seemed in any way related to the deemed irregular manoeuvre.

Tomorrow, Perdi continues on his way to Barcelona splendid in green, white, yellow and red and whatever other colours he can fit in there. The day will be a bouncy three times Cat. 3 with an uphill finish. It sounds a bit like another good day for a small group to fight it out.
