Hushovd grabs stage and lead
|
After missing out in yesterday's stage, Norwegian Thor Hushovd (Credit Agricole) made the most of the opportunity given to the sprinters in today's third stage of the Volta a Catalunya between Salou and Sant Carles de la Ràpita. The 'Bear from Grimstad' powered home ahead of René Haselbacher (Gerolsteiner) and Robert Hunter (Phonak Hearing Systems), taking enough of a time bonus to lift the leader's jersey off Fabian Cancellara's equally broad shoulders.
How it unfolded
Today's stage from Salou to Sant Carles de la Ràpita over 176.7 km was always going to favour the sprinters, who will have nothing to work for in tomorrow's mountain finish to Vallnord. And after yesterday's near miss, most teams weren't willing to give a breakaway a huge advantage if they could help it.
The attacks started after five kilometres, as usual, with Francisco Mancebo (AG2R) being involved in the move together with Kim Kirchen (T-Mobile), Stéphane Augé (Cofidis), Manuel Quinziato (Liquigas) and Jorge Garcia (Relax). Surprisingly, after the escape gained 9'30 in 35 km, Mancebo dropped out of the break, preferring to spend the rest of the time in the peloton and not push things too hard in view of tomorrow.
|
The quartet whittled down to just two riders with 40 km top go: Augé and Quinziato. But by this stage, the peloton was in full pursuit, and the break was caught with 12 km left. There was no stopping a bunch sprint today, despite some late attacks by Kaiku riders.
The sprint saw Thor Hushovd triumph over the Austrian Haselbacher and South African Hunter, with Hunter also gaining enough of a bonus to move ahead of Cancellara on GC, but not quite enough to take the leader's jersey. That's the last chance he will get, because tomorrow's fourth stage finishes atop Vallnord Sector Arcalís, a 2220m high climb that is 17.1 km long and averages 6.7% with a maximums of 8.8%.
