Day 4 - June 30: Elite Men's Road Race

Spanish championship to Guillamón

Juan Carlos Guillamón (Jazztel) has won the Spanish championship with a daring escape in the final kilometre, just having enough of an advantage to beat a fast finishing Abraham Olano (ONCE) and Miguel Martin Perdiguero (Acqua e Sapone). It was very much a surprise win, and Guillamón dedicated it to his entire family.

The three lap, 216 kilometre race was not overly selective, containing one main climb per lap that wasn't too steep. No breaks were allowed to stay away for long, and the pace was kept high throughout the race mainly by the ONCE team. A serious crash with 10 kilometres to go took out Santi Blanco (iBanesto) and Inigo Landaluze (Euskaltel), both of whom were injured enough to prevent them from starting in the Tour de France this next Saturday.

The crash also caused a split in the still large peloton, with the biggest loser being pre race favourite Oscar Freire (Mapei) who was caught behind it. The remaining 27 riders raced to the finish, led by Kelme who had Oscar Sevilla up there but no real sprinters.

With one kilometre to go, Guillamón attacked and no-one reacted in time, and he was on his way to victory. Abraham Olano decided to chase him, and the powerful ONCE rider almost caught him at the finish, but came a metre too short. Perdiguero led the rest of the bunch home for third.
