41st Setmana-Catalana - 2.1
Spain, March 22-26, 2004
Stage 1 - March 22: Lloret de Mar-Lloret de Mar, 165.5 km
Success for Cancellara
Zabel beaten again in bunch sprint
|
Swiss rider Fabian Cancellara (Fassa Bortolo) demonstrated that he is more than just a prologue specialist by winning the first stage of Setmana Catalana in a bunch sprint. Cancellara crossed the line at the end of the 168 km stage in Lloret de Mar ahead of German Erik Zabel (T-Mobile), who was denied another victory after his loss in Saturday's Milan-San Remo. Third place went to Bram De Groot (Rabobank), with 44 riders finishing in the same time.
"I did a long sprint," said a disbelieving Cancellara. "I came out of the last corner with 350 metres to go in third position, and then I jumped with 250 metres to go. I saw the finish line banner approaching and no-one had passed me, but I saw what happened in the last San Remo so I didn't get distracted and I continued to give everything until after the finish. Considering a sprinter like Erik Zabel finished second I am even happier."
The tough first stage was ridden in the rain at a controlled pace, with the day's main breakaway coming from Javier Ramírez Abeja (Liberty Seguros), who attacked after 65 km and stayed out in front for 77 km. However, his maximum lead was only 5 minutes, and that was not enough to pull off a solo win.
|
The Saunier Duval and Rabobank teams picked up the tempo in the latter half of the stage, splitting the bunch on the climbs so that roughly a third of the original peloton was left to contest the finish. Erik Zabel's T-Mobile team did not play a big role in the pace setting, preferring to leave it to Saunier Duval and Rabobank. The finish didn't go quite according to plan for Zabel, as Cancellara proved to be too strong over the final 250 metres for the German to overcome.
Tomorrow's second stage will be run between Lloret de Mar and Empuriabrava over 160.8 km, including the climbs of Lloret (Cat. 3, km 3.4), La Selva (Cat. 3, km 33) and Pedrafita (Cat. 2, km 115).
