Stage 5 - June 9: Iurreta-Arrate, 149.2 km

Zorionak El Generoso

Beloki hits the mountains with gusto and Mikel "El Generoso" Zarrabeitia takes the jertsei urdina home.

By Martin Hardie, Cyclingnews correspondent

The ONCE-Eroski team made a double of it in the fifth and final stage of the Euskal Bizikleta with Mikel Zarrabeitia taking the tour victory and Joseba Beloki the stage, putting to an end the Banesto season domination. And just as Igor Gonzalez De Galdeano sent someone in the USA a little message from Germany this week, another was posted from the green hills of Euskadi with the unavoidable statement made by Joseba Beloki when he took the stage to Arrate with daylight second. Leonardo Piepoli (iBanesto) finished fourth at 1.25 while his team-mate, Santi Blanco came in 1.13 the diminutive Lazkaotarran. Arriving just ahead of Piepoli, on the same time, was Zarrabeitia's main threat for the race, the Lithuanian of Lampre, Raimondas Rumsas (Lampre).

"El Generoso", as his companions know Zarrabeitia, managed to hold off the Lithuanian finishing in a group of six 16 seconds further back. Zarra was accompanied to the end by his neighbour, David Etxebarria (Euskaltel-Euskadi), team-mates, José Azevedo and Marcos Serrano, fellow Basque, Daniel Atienza (Cofidis) and Nicolas Fritsch (FDJ).

Rumsas tried to shake Zarrabeitia at the key moment, five kilomtres from the finish on the 10 percent grade of the Alto de Arrate. With three kilometres left Rumsas had a threatening gap of 17 seconds but the Biscayan knew how to save the situation and over the false flat that comes before the finish worked to maintain his advantage and fend off any possible loss of his victory by 11 seconds.

It was in no small part due to the team tactics of ONCE that were ideal for Mikel Zarrabeitia. They discharged the work on Joseba Beloki, who with the bad times he has had in the past days and with his run of early season injury, proved capable of the test which allowed him to evidence his superiority.

Beloki's adventure began in the nineteenth kilometre with the crossing of the second category three climb of the day at the Alto de Areitio, where he joined an escape with Jorge Capitán (Relax Fuenlabrada), Koldo Gil (Ibanesto), Oscar Freire (Mapei), Miguel Angel Mart’n Perdiguero (Acqua Sapone). The escapees were later joined in their efforts by Giuseppe Palumbro (De Nardi), Iñigo Cuesta (Cofidis) and David Muñoz (Kelme).

Beloki passed in the company of the other escapees over the Elgeta (Cat. 2), Ixúa (Cat. 1), San Miguel (Cat. 3) and the Lizarreta (Cat. 2). It was with the Lizzarreta that he decided to go alone and he opened up a space that allowed him to pass the following puerto, the Azurki, (Cat. 1). Its ramps of between nine and fifteen percent emphasised his strength and he quickly had a minute on the Italian Palumbo and a trio of Banesto's Koldo Gil, Santi Blanco and Francisco Mancebo.

He arrived at the first foothills of the Arrate, eight kilometres from the finish, with something more that a minute and a half on the solitary Santi Blanco. Blanco managed to pick up some time on the final climb to the monastery at Arrate but not enough to catch the Lazkaotarran.

The overall victory for Mikel Zarrabeitia was the most important of his career. "I have tried to obtain this triumph since 1991, when I made my debut as a professional, always I have been in the front but I haven't arrived until this year. I have a few years left as a professional and I had thought that it would never come," declared Zarrabeitia, a man who has had his share of bad luck during his carreer. He confessed that he always found himself "physically good but ultimately he has had a few falls ... This triumph is especially important because it has helped to lift my spirit". Zarrabeitia thanked his team-mates for their support during the race and also had words of appreciation for David Etxebarria, his rival and nevertheless his friend and neighbour. Etxebarria, he said, extended his hand and offered him his wheel when Rumsas attacked on the climb of Arrate. He admitted that there is a pact between the two on the short morning stage on Saturday - Etxebarria took the stage and then offered his help to Zarra. He concluded of his amigo, "we are not only countrymen but companions in our training group".

"El Generoso" takes one at last - nothing could please so many so much; for there can be no doubt that he is one of the most dedicated working men of the peloton. Beloki recognised this in his post race interview and continued "I am very happy for the triumph of Mikel, but it was true that I also needed a victory like this". After he crossed the finsih line Beloki lamented that he could not be with "him when he had his bad moments". In the end I am lamenting that I can't be in downtown Durango tonight, throwing back more than few fine cervezas for no finer a tipo than Mikel. As Etxebarria said in his DEIA column this morning: "Zorionak (Congratulations) Mikel"!!
