Beloki gains Montjuic

ONCE-Eroski's Joseba Beloki has capped off a good season by winning the final race on the Spanish calendar, Escalada de Montjuic. Beloki finished 10 seconds ahead of Big Mat's Felix Garcia Casas in the final classification, with Manuel Beltran (Team Coast) taking third.

The race is held in two sections: a 24.3 km road race and an 8.7 km time trial, both involving Barcelona's famous Montjuic climb. In the road race, Beloki won the road race, beating Felix Garcia Casas by 2 seconds and Manuel Beltran by 3 seconds. The trio had attacked on the fourth of five climbs and succeeded in gaining 30 seconds on the peloton. On the final climb Beloki was the strongest, riding away from the other two to win by a small margin.

The afternoon's time trial was taken by Oscar Sevilla, who had finished 5th in the morning stage. However his time deficit was too great to make up on the leading three, and Beloki claimed the overall win after finishing second in the time trial. Garcia Casas (3rd) and Beltran (5th) both rode well enough to hold onto their top three placings.
