Mercado new leader as Guerini wins stage
|
Juan Miguel Mercado (iBanesto.com) is the new leader of the Setmana Catalana after placing second in the third and hardest stage behind Telekom's Guiseppe Guerini. Mercado finished just 3 seconds behind the Italian, but was better placed in yesterday's time trial thus took over the lead. Third place today also went to a Banesto rider: Leonardo Piepoli who beat home Gonzalo Bayarri (Jazztel).
Today's 157 kilometre stage between Castello d'Empuries and Coll de Pal contained a category 2 and two category 1 climbs, including the finish. The final climb of the Coll de Pal had sections of up to 12 percent, and as expected this formed the key part of the stage.
The early part of the stage saw a three man breakaway occur at 12 kilometres: Pierrick Fedrigo (Credit Agricole), Francisco Cerezo (CSC Tiscali) and Serguei Smetanine (Jazztel). They were allowed some freedom by GC leader Juan Carlos Dominguez, as none of them were considered dangerous. Their maximum lead was 7'30, but this was snuffed out on the lower slopes of the Coll de Pal.
As the fog closed in on the riders, the iBanesto.com team went on the attack to try and shake Dominguez. The fierce tempo shredded the peloton, leaving only Guerini and Mercado in the lead, chased by Dominguez, Escartin, Unai Osa and Volodymir Gustov. The leaders gradually drew away on the climb, especially in the latter half, and Dominguez saw his lead slip away.
Mercado held Guerini's wheel until right near the end when the Italian showed greater strength to pull away from the Spaniard to win the stage. However, Mercado got the leader's jersey and should have no problems defending it in tomorrow' fourth stage from Baga to Vic (176 km).
