Sanchez escapes as overall contenders race
Spanish rider Julian Sanchez (Contentpolis-AMPO) was able to sneak away to victory on the Volta a Catalunya's queen stage as the general classification contenders battled amongst themselves. Sanchez was chased up the final climb by Daniel Martin (Garmin - Slipstream), but the Irishman had to settle for second place just six seconds behind.
The impressive ride from Martin moved him from sixth to second on general classification. He was closely shadowed by race leader Alejandro Valverde (Caisse d'Epargne) up the final climb, with the Spaniard losing two seconds to Martin.
Sanchez had been one of eight riders in the day's main break. He continued to hold a 1.30 minute lead as the peloton reached the 2000 metre climb starting 20 kilometres from the Vallnord Sector Pal finish, while the other breakaway riders had fell back into the peloton.
"We knew that this stage was supposed to be a difficult one but it was even harder than we thought because some hills were not in the technical guide," said Valverde. "For us the point was to control the breakaway and we never left more than three or four minutes between us and the eight riders in the lead. In the final climb, the Coll de la Botella, the Cervelo riders increased the rhythm from the very beginning and after that some other riders tried to attack."
Valverde considered an attack by Martin on the final climb as a serious threat to his lead. He drew on the support of team-mate Rigoberto Uran to help cover Garmin-Slipstream's moves and control the race.
"Today was a very important step towards final victory, even if there is still three stages left," said Valverde. "Now we have nothing else to do but control the situation and if needed I will sprint to get some bonuses."
The Caisse d'Epargne squad said it will work with the sprinters' teams to help protect Valverde's lead of the remaining stages. He has a 15 second gap over Martin on general classification while Astana's Haimar Zubeldia is a further seven seconds behind.
