Sevilla takes it all
By Hernan Alvarez
|
The win was his first since being embroiled in the Operacion Puerto doping scandal last year, where he was linked to bags of blood labeled 'Sevillian' - a link that Sevilla, who was sacked by his T-Mobile team last year, denies. "Eight months without competing is a lot of time. I hope to silence some critics with this victory."
The rider from Castilla La Mancha thanked the work of his teammates which he said was key. "It has been very important for me, the chance Relax has given me, and to return to victory gives me an impressive confidence," said the Spaniard. "Vladimir Karpets and Michael Rogers are my direct rivals for tomorrow's time trial but I am strong and very excited. Logically, the leader's jersey has to help me," stated Sevilla.
Sevilla now leads the GC with an overall time of 14 hours, 55 minutes, and 22 seconds. He has a 31-second advantage over second-placed Russia's Vladimir Karpets (Caisse d'Epargne) and 35 seconds over today's runner-up Rogers.
How it unfolded
The queen stage started with a nine-man breakaway made by Murilo Fischer (Liquigas), Samuel Doumoulin (Francaise des Jeux), Maryan Hary (Cofidis), Maarten Wynants (Quickstep), Luis Pasamontes (Unibet.com), Eladio Jimenez (Karpin-Galicia), Joaquin Ortega (Fuerteventura-Canarias), Jerome Pineau (Bouygues Telecom) and David Millar (Saunier Duval) early in the day. The peloton let the break go; they earned a gap of more than eight minutes in front of the peloton by kilometre 100.
|
The break went over two Category 1 mountains (the Coll de Port 1,630 metres above sea level and the Coll de Jou, topping out at 1,480 metres) while maintaining the gap to the main bunch. At the intermediate sprint in Parc Olimpic in La Seu d'Urgell (km 158.8 – 44.3 km to go), the front group had a seven minute and 15 second advantage.
On the penultimate climb of Alt de la Comella (km 183.3 – 19.8 km to go), Pasamontes and Jimenez attacked the rest to get a lead of one minute over Pineau and two minutes over the other men involved in the breakaway.
The main bunch, with the favorites, caught the leaders on the last mountain. Sevilla found the right time to attack and crossed the finish line solo.
Tomorrow's Stage 5 is an uphill individual time trial that also ends up in Andorra. It could be a good chance for Michael Rogers to jump up into the top spot on the general classification considering Sevilla is not a time trial specialist.
