The Spaniard Luis León Sánchez from the team Caisse d'Epargne has won the first stage of the Vuelta al País Vasco. The 25-year-old won the sprint ahead of his compatriot Samuel Sánchez (Euskaltel - Euskadi) and the Frenchman Jérôme Pineau (Quick Step) in the 142.5 kilometre stage starting and finishing in Ataun.

"My teammates did great work for me and I am happy that I have been able to win," said a very happy Luis León Sánchez. "I knew that I could do well and I dedicate this win to my brother who died in 2005, who surely is looking at me from above. I would like to keep the yellow jersey, but the upcoming stages will be very difficult."

"Second place is good, my form is progressing very well," said the Olympic champion Samuel Sánchez. "There will be other stages for me. I am happy that my knee did not cause any problems during the race. I asked the doctor to give me some spray to keep it cool in order to avoid any inflammation.

"What a pity that on the Alto de Lazkaomendi the riders in front with me didn't work together, so that the ones behind our group were able to reach us. The favourites like Contador, Joaquím Rodríguez, Vincenzo Nibali, Toni Colom and Frank Schleck have been in front, showing their good form," continued the 31-year-old Sánchez.

How it unfolded

The sun was shining on the village of Ataun, home to only 1000 residents, and the inhabitants were happy to see their heroes at the start of the first stage of the 49th Vuelta al País Vasco. Most of all, they had come to support their local rider, Dionisio Galparsoro from the team Contentpolis-AMPO, whom they expected to win the stage.

However, at kilometer zero it was not Galparsoro who escaped, but two of his teammates: José Herrada and Gorka Izagirre, who were joined by Aitor Hernández (Euskaltel-Euskadi) and Cofidis' Bingen Fernández.

The advantage of this quartet went up to 7:10 when they crossed the third category Alto de Urkillaga in the following order: Hernández ahead of Herrada and Fernández. At this moment, the Astana and Lampre teams began to work in the peloton in order to reduce the gap.

The Alto de Olaberria climb saw Hernández arrive first ahead of Herrada and Izagirre, when the quartet passed the summit of the third category climb after 29.6 kilometers of racing.

Aitor Hernández had a flat tyre at kilometer 42, but had no difficulty joining the breakaway group again. Six kilometers later, he won the mountain classification on the second category Alto de Deskarga ahead of Herrada and Fernández.

In the peloton Astana continued to work and reduced the advantage of the quartet in front to 3:30 on the second category Alto de Udana, where once more Hernández was able to cross the summit first, followed by Herrada and Fernández.

In exactly the same order, the break reached the next mountain classification, the third category Alto de Atagoiti.

The intermediate sprint in Ikaztegieta was won by Fernández ahead of Izagirre and Hernández, the next one in Amezketa by Izagirre, ahead of Fernández and Herández. Ten kilometers later, Fernández and Izagirre were caught by the peloton, while Hernández and Herrada were brought back two kilometres later.

The enthusiastic fans on the second category Alto de Abaltzisketa saw Aitor Hernández once again win the mountain classification, ahead of Juan José Cobo (Fuji-Servetto), Chris Horner (Astana) and Toni Colom (Katusha).

Euskaltel-Euskadi's Iñaki Isasi crossed the mountains classification line of the third category Alto de Gaintza first, followed by Alberto Losada (Caisse d'Epargne) and once more Aitor Hernández.

In the closing moments of the race, the stars attacked. Damiano Cunego (Lampre), Joaquím Rodríguez (Caisse d'Epargne), Samuel Sánchez (Euskaltel-Euskadi) and Alberto Contador (Astana) were the first to reach the final mountain classification of the day, on the Alto de Lazkaomendi. On the descent, Sánchez tried to distance himself from the lead group, but he was not able to escape.

As a result, the fans in Ataun saw a group of 21 riders in a sprint for first in which Luis León Sánchez emerged victorious.

Tomorrow's second stage, 164 kilometers from Ataun to Villatuerta, includes six classified climbs: a single first category climb, a single second category climb and four third category climbs.
