Second win for Cavendish in crash-affected finale
|
If there were any doubts about who was the fastest sprinter at the 87th Volta a Catalunya, T-Mobile's young speedster Mark Cavendish put those firmly to rest with another convincing victory on Stage 6 to the coastal resort town of Lloret de Mar.
It was a far from straightforward victory for the 22 year-old who was dropped on an early climb and also caught behind a crash in the last five kilometres which caused second-placed Russian Denis Menchov to lose precious seconds and slip back to third overall behind Cavendish's team-mate Michael Rogers.
"I had to stop when the crash happened," explained Cavendish, "then we were chasing hard to make sure we didn't lose time. There was a big corner in the final kilometre but I knew it was coming up because I'd memorised it and came round wide. After that, I made my move with 150 metres to go."
With his fifth victory this season the Manxman also took over the points jersey while Unibet's Luis Pasamontes maintained his lead the mountains classification.

Race leader Vladimir Karpets was almost brought down in the late crash but avoided losing any time and now looks likely to defend his 40 second lead over Rogers on tomorrow's final stage to Mount Tibidabo in the Catalan capital Barcelona.
"I almost fell myself," said the Russian. "But I got through and I'm more optimistic about winning overall. If I do, it'll be one of the most important victories of my career."
Besides the Cat.2 rated uphill finish, the final stage of this year's event features three Cat.3 ascents within the initial 70 kilometres, although T-Mobile directeur sportif Jan Schaffrath believes it a tall order for his man Rogers to overturn the 40-second deficit to Karpets.
"With Rogers we want to have another real go at winning the race tomorrow," said Schaffrath. "But the final stage is not selective enough to really blow the race to pieces."
